What is Link Popularity and why is it so important

Link Popularity

• Link popularity is defined as to how popular is your website. The more "votes" your website gets from other websites or back links in your website, the more popular your website becomes.
• The more popular your website is, the higher the ranking it gets (although there are other factors involved).
• Ranking high in the Search Engines is extremely important for websites since the higher the ranking, the more visible the website gets.
• More visibility means more visitors, and more visors means more business.
• You can check your link popularity by visiting Link Popularity.com. You can also check your link popularity and compare it to other websites at linkpopularitycheck.com
   

In the past one of the factors that made a website important in the Search Engine's eyes was how many incoming links it had. The more links it had, the more important it was. This eventually created an avalanche of getting links from websites with related and unrelated content pointing to websites for ranking purposes. Getting linked involved: Directory listings, link exchanges, link farms, Internet advertising, paid links, one way links, etc.

 

Today Page Ranking is so important to website owners that some are paying thousands of dollars per month for just one link pointing to their website from sites with related content and very high PRs. Related Content is the KEY but buying or selling links for the purpose of obtaining a high PR is a violation of rules set up by the Google search engine and they can penalize websites in their ranking for doing so. Google can also penalize sites for getting involved in link farms and other spamming techniques. Other search engines also have similar rules.
 

Demanding links from websites that need to link to good content is not only the best way to get linked by sites with related content but is also serve the needs of the websites needing this type of content. As a pleasant side effect, visitors to these sites also WIN BIG by getting more and better content.
