What
is Link Popularity?
Literally speaking, link popularity means the number of
sites linking to your site. However, this does not mean that
you should aim at getting thousands of sites linking to
yours. However, if you are aiming to get a high ranking in
the search engines, you need to know that the quality of
links is more important that the quantity of links. If your
site is linked to many popular sites then you are sure to
get a higher ranking than if it is linked to hundreds of
unpopular sites. The idea behind link popularity is that
other sites will link to you only if you are a quality site
offering quality resources. So, if many sites link to you it
follows that you are a popular site and therefore deserve a
high ranking.
Look at link popularity as a way of getting more traffic to
your site. So, by getting other sites linking to you, you
are not only ranked higher in the search engines, you also
have a large volume of targeted traffic coming to your
site.
With the competition increasing daily, getting a good
ranking in the search engines is of utmost importance. If
you really want a high ranking with the search engines, you
need to follow a focused linking strategy.
