Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Search Retargeting ‎ do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sparthorse (talk) 17:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message on my talk page. Unfortunately, the problem with the link you added is not the formatting, but the content. This link is not a reliable source as defined in Wikipedia's rules. A reliable source is one which is published by a recognized, independent publication. The web page you linked to is a blog post of an SEO company - so fails to meet all the requirements for a reliable source. Thus at present, the article remains unsourced. Further, a lot of the content of the article appears to be your interpretation of the subject, so likely breaches our rules on original research. Hope that helps in explaining why the tags remains.
