-To make it even easier for patrons to find professional help, links to these directory pages would be created from other existing wiki pages. So a page like [[Ohio Vital Records|Ohio Vital Records]] would contain a link to [[Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research|Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research]]. The link's wording might be something like "For a list of professional genealogists who can procure vital records, see [[Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research|Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research]]." To see a list of all the topic pages that might link to a directory page of researchers for a single locality, see the page written about the locality itself. For example, to see a list of links of all the topicpages for Ohio, go to the [[Ohio|Ohio]] page and see the list of Topics there.&nbsp;
+To make it even easier for patrons to find professional help, create links to the directory pages where you are listed from other appropriate wiki pages. For example, create a link from [[Ohio Vital Records|Ohio Vital Records]]&nbsp;to [[Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research|Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research]]. The link's wording might be something like "For a list of professional genealogists you can hire to obtain an Ohio birth, marriage, or death record, see [[Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research|Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research]]."
+You can drive a lot of traffic to the directory pages where you are listed by creating links from all the appropriate topic pages of the locality. To see a list of all the topic pages that might link to a single locality's directory page, see the page written about the locality itself. For example, to see a list of links to all the topicpages for Ohio, go to the [[Ohio|Ohio]] page and see the list of Topics there.&nbsp;
