Link popularity and its effect on search engines

[sourabhweb]

Link Popularity is the number of links pointing to & from related sites.It is a useful method to improve your website's releavancy in various search engines.

There are many link popularity checkers are available free on internet to check the link popularity of a website.

There are 3 types of links to decide the link popularity of a website.

1) Internal links: They are the number of links to and from within a website. Cross linkings to the important pages of a website is also important as this helps search engine spiders to find and index all the important pages in a website.

2) Incoming Links: They are linkspointing to a website from other related website.Always select the keywords to get incoming links to your website.

3) Outgoing Links: They are links pointing to other related websites from a website.But it is a matter of debate if outgoing links are liked by search engines or not.


Thanks,

One is for sure:

It is good to have incoming links from web sites that are in industries related to yours.

Imagine good child care site that only had incoming links from porn sites...

No good, hum? :wink:

[sourabhweb]

It is always to be kept in mind that link building should be done based on theme of a website.

It is always good to get inbound links from other related websites.

A person who will try to get link from website which not related by any means are not that intelligent. ops: i am sorry to say that.

I hope all members in this forum have minimum sense otherwise how can they reach here?

Yeah, all good points.

The topics of both sites involved are indeed important, but as are where the links are, how they're presented, etc. A link in the middle of a passage of text is only going to be as good as the text surrounding. If that is engaging enough for anyone to read it, then the link itself is obviously going to get good exposure.

A link coloured black on a dark grey background isn't too good either obviously.

[sourabhweb]

Yes, link presentation is also very much important.

A inbound link from a related website can make wonders for your website if gets proper exposure.

If the link is surrounded by related text, then it gets lots of attractions.

A link in hiding corner of a website is of mo value either.

Colour also plays an important role here.

The color of the anchor text must be in contrast with the background of the website for great visibility.

Cheers!!

That also condenses down to simple web design skills though. Contrasting colours are the backbone of any website - they set the "mood" (yes a website can have a mood!), enhance the ease of use and viewing and just look cool.

So yeah, get a link noticed well (but not too in your face, otherwise it's just obvious they're desperate for traffic) and you're sorted.

The most important factors have to be the relevancy of the link and the context. Also its true that the link presentation needs to be thouhgt out v carefully

It's important to note that Google PageRank is not the same thing as link popularity.
PR is actually a subset of link popularity.
Whereas PR focuses strictly on the quantity and popularity of links, link popularity adds a "quality factor" into the equation.
Many people mistakenly use the terms "link popularity" and "PageRank " interchangeably, which has served to confuse the issue further.

All major search engines place some emphasis on link popularity in their ranking algorithms. There appear to be 2 main types of links that work best to increase your link popularity: links from other sites that focus on the same keyword phrases your site focuses on, and links from relevant categories in major directories and industry-specific portals.

[sourabhweb]

Thanks for your wise post.

Actually Link popularity & Page Rank is not the same thing.

With out making it more complex i want to say the bottom line:

Link Popularity of a website is one of the prime factors to detremine the Page Rank(PR) of a website.

[humpty]

hei is link popularity really that important?
there are softwares and wizards, even companies that offer these kinda services right, should we go for these? or should we build on our own?

which would you suggest?

[sourabhweb]

Yes, Link Popularity plays an important role as far as a website's popularity is concerned.

Instead of that wired cross linked exchanges, one should go on his/her own for link building.

[maggots]

yeah, although it takes time and effort, the result from it is far more rewarding in the long run, as for those chasing quick results, you'll eventually end up with a lot of terrible links and you gotta remove them one by one, that's the time whn you'll remember this post and say, sigh, i should've listened to these people hehehe

[sourabhweb]

Certainly.We always do our own Link Building work.

These wired link exchange firms are not at all effective.Some even can not show you where your website link is placed.

They just ask for a monthly or yearly charge.

[humpty]

god doing the links on your own is a really tedious job don't you agree?

but i guess, paying other companies who just know how to ask for money without providing real link building work is just a waste of money and time after all, heheheheh

i agree, it's tedious, but well worth the effort

as for the second remark, well, do yur research wel, make sure you get a reliable company, that's all

[humpty]

true enuff, thanks for the tips guys

No site is worth its name if it does not have incming as well as outgoing links. It is the link that gie credence to the site.

[janetgan]

i disagree,
some sites are worthy sites, just that they serve different purposes

a conventional MNC's corporate site perhaps, they may need incoming links,

that i agree but i'm pretty sure they don't give out outgoing links

so, your statement is kinda over-rated don't you think

[hassen1]

You are right janetgan. I may not be 100 percent correct. You have a valid point.

[janetgan]

hehehhe thanks there

i dont mean to be mean ehehehhe just find that it doesn't sound right and i had to do somethign about it hehehehe
