Who is plannedcity.com?

As you can guess, www.plannedcity.com derives its name from the world renown nickname given to Longview, Washington way back in the 1920's. We chose this name for our site because we feel that it not only shows a tie to Longview and its historical beginnings, but that it also makes a statement about where we are going.

R. A. Long was a man of vision who lived his life in an attitude of gratefulness with a keen attention to detail. He went out of his way to thank his Creator for what he had been given, and was dedicated to doing things the right way. He saw the citizens of this new city as co-laborers in a work larger than them all… a work that would be a heritage and a gift passed on to future generations of families that would spring up and call Longview home. As a result, R. A. Long and Longview’s founding citizens took great pride and joy in their labor of love, building a place where their families and future families could live, work,  and worship together.

www.plannedcity.com is dedicated to the vision of R. A. Long and Longview’s founding citizens. We take pride in their accomplishments and seek to promote the values they lived by. Their faith, sacrifice and hard work laid the foundation for a beautiful community and great place to raise a family.

www.plannedcity.com is a subsidiary of Hudson & Hudson Image Media services.

Link Address Ranking

All visitor search results are displayed by default by "rating". The "rating" is derived from visitor votes on the value of a link address. This ranking order produces a list that we feel best serves the visitor and web site owner. Those site owners who have worked hard to provide what visitor choose as valuable, get the best positioning. Our software is set to allow only one vote per link per ISP number, thus eliminating the possibility that someone might venture to "stack the deck" in their favor.

Additionally, we see value in asking each link owners to place a "reciprocal link" to www.plannedcity.com on their web site. What is a "reciprocal link"? It is simply a link back to www.plannedcity.com placed anywhere within your site. This benefits both parties, providing higher search engine result on the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Search engines like these work on a set of rules known as an algorithm. One of the rules used is called link analysis. By analyzing how pages link to each other, a search engine can both determine what a page is about and whether that page is deemed to be "important" and thus deserving of a ranking boost. For this one reason alone, we believe it is worth your time to place a "reciprocal link" to www.plannedcity.com on your site.  More visitors for all involved!
