 Link Popularity
What is link popularity?
Link popularity or how webmasters love to call it "BackLinks", is the
number of links pointing to your website from other relevant
websites.
Link popularity is determined not only by the number of links
but also by the quality of websites that have linked to your website and
the quality of the link it self, inbound links, text links, anchor text.
The effects of link popularity is to determine how important is your
website. The search engine spiders (robots) trails to follow these links
and re-index your site. thus every backlink will indicate a vote of your
website popularity. The more back links you have the more popular your
site is.
Why is it important?
link
popularity is the single most efficient technique to generate and increase
traffic to your web site. first people will click on these backlinks that
they have found on other sites and go to your website, second these links
will boost your search engine rankings and you will receive a high
targeted traffic from the search engines. But to gain that targeted
traffic you need to have very quality links. The quality and content of
these sites is critical. Ideally, you will want to approach established
sites already listed in the search engines which have content related to
your web site. These sites already have a steady stream of targeted
visitors . In addition, links from these sites have the advantage of being
considered 'more relevant' by the search engines and will help your own
rankings improve.

Search Engine
Rankings
Search engines such as google
have found that judging a site by who links to it is one of the best
indicators of site quality. After all, we put links in our website to
offer something with value to our audience, It is like a free survey we
"webmasters" do to vote for other websites.
search engines can only be successful as long as they deliver relevant
search results to a vast Internet audience. On the other hand, webmasters
and SEO companies are trying to manipulate search engine in order to be
indexed in the first search results. and that results is damaging the
ability of search engines to deliver relevant search results. until they
began to use link popularity as a factor. This factor cannot be
manipulated. not yet.
How to improve link popularity?
link building strategies
1.
Create a link bait, link bait can be a list of very important "in your
niche category" information, resources and tools. People still love lists
of "top, best, tips, strategies". The best example is `101
link building list` from
SEOBOOK, I hade to link to it.
If you can build a good
useful list that other webmasters will love they will link to it. In your
own website you have linked to other websites, why? Research your own
behavior to understand other webmasters.
2.
I love website directories; it is easy fast and valuable one way link
back. You must do some submitting, I recommend submitting to at least 50
website directories each month beginning with the "free with no reciprocal
link and high PR" directories. Go to this list of
website directories, bookmark it and
you can also link to it (with my pleasure) you see I am giving you a
reason to link to me.
3.
Link exchange, swapping links with other relative websites, it is a little
bit hard frustrating and time consuming strategy. You will come accrues
some webmasters who says "do not build a link page; swap only text in
context links". Well I think you don't have enough content and text pages
to swap links with others; you have to build a partner or resources link
page and exchange links with it. Your link in the other hand will be
placed into link page also. I can recommend link exchange software like
auto exchanger I
have used their free version and found it very helpful; and now I am using
the full version and it can build you some good quality links. You can use
also LinkMetro.com to find link
exchange partners.
4.
Article marketing, with my humble experience I am sure that this is the
best quality link building strategy on the net. It is the only must do
link building strategy, it is not a choice if you want to have a high PR.
First If you can write:
a.
chose 2 of your niche keywords and write a 500-750 words article around
it, repeat smartly those 2 keywords at least 4 times and maximum 7 times
in this article.
b.
build 2 versions of this article "text only" insert your url in it as
www.yourdomain.com, and "html" insert you links with anchor text
(anchor text is the text that you will click on to visit the site) as <a
herf=http://www.yourdomain.com>anchor
text</a>
c.
write your BIO or resource box also in two versions text and html as" name
the author of "your website" some about you and one more link to your
website.
d.
submit this article to article directories like
iSnare " I have also
arranged a list of article directories only for you". Some directories
accept html version so post your html version and others don't so give
them the text.
e.
Try to find some relative websites and ask the admin to swap articles with
hime.
f.
You can purchase a distribution service like
iSnare they can
distribute your article for only $2.
If you have no idea of
writing you can hire a professional service like
Majon.com they can write
and distribute articles for you.
5.
Blogs
a.
You can create one or more blogs post article and other keyword rich texts
and link back to your website.
b.
Ask other bloggers to swap articles
c.
read relevant blogs find some useful information and participate by
committing. Do not spam, do not do it only to get link back the author
will know. Be professional so the readers will like your commits and click
your link. Link to some of these blogs from your blog. Outbound links are
one of the cheapest forms of marketing available. Many bloggers also track
who is linking to them or where their traffic comes from, so linking to
them is an easy way to get noticed by some of them.
d.
tag your posts
with relevant tags and submit to
Technorati.
6. Get some easy free links from
Craigslist or by
participating in
Yahoo! Answers and
Google Groups
7.
Submit a story
to
Digg and
other social bookmarks.
8.
Build pages in
Squidoo and
hubpages and link back to your website from it.
9.
Join forums that discuss
your niche, so you can be helpful, make the forum members trust you love
your contribution and they will easily click on your signature. Try to be
smart on writing the signature, use only anchor text.
10.
