Hello, My name is Joe Watson, Owner and Publisher of DFW Town Guide. DFW Town Guide is an online business directory created in 2005. In the beginning (1999,) it was all about link exchanges between companies. Having back links on the internet made your business more popular in search engines. Having back links on the internet made your business more popular in search engines. I was one of the original creators of Town-Mall.net in 1999 which was an online business directory before they became popular. In 2001 we created JT's Boat Rentals which had a strong website that everyone wanted to exchange links with, but I realized that having non-relevant links did not help. In 2005 I started DFW Town Guide, adding all our business friends in an organized manner. By doing this it was making the link exchange more relevant for my friends whom I was listing. Over the years it was becoming more popular for business owners to send a request for inclusion into the site. After 16 years and the selling of JT's Boat Rentals, I will continue to maintain and grow this directory to share my knowledge with you.
