Importance And Benefits Of Link Popularity
Topics: Linking, site linking, links, link popularity, link quality
Everyone likes to be popular. In a way, the web is just like one big popularity contest. It wasn’t fair in high school, and it might not seem so fair now. You can have the best-designed, most informative site online, but if no one links to you, you’re going to have a harder time getting a high search engine ranking. Ranking high with search engines relies on two things: content and link popularity.
Of course, if you have the most informative site online, your job is half done. One of the keys to bringing in new links is having a well-designed site. If you go after link exchanges and your site looks like it belongs in the last decade, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find any takers. People don’t have all the room in the world to add links on their site. You need to provide a site that is worth linking to. On the flipside, you should find link partners with quality sites of their own.
Link popularity is not just about quantity, but quality. Certainly, it is a good idea to have a great number of links coming in, but search engine spiders also take into account the quality of those links: i.e. how many sites link to the site that links to you. Spiders hold a premium on sites that link to you without a corresponding reciprocal link. When search engine spiders surf your site, they’re looking for the type of content that you have on your site and the number of links going both in and out.
An easy way to start building link popularity is to add your site to a number of directories. These directories may or may not require a reciprocal link. The higher the quality of the directory, the more the directory listing will be worth. Really, you should spend a good amount of time adding your site to as many directories as possible. Look for other immediate avenues for link building as well. Post in forums, on blogs, or create a blog of your own. All of these will be indexed by search engines, which will help increase your ranking.
One of the major advantages of having a blog is you have one more place to add a link to your site. In addition, you have one more place where you can trade links. Contact other bloggers in a similar field and trade links. You should not only be looking to increase link popularity for the host site, but for blogs and other sub-sites as well.
It is absolutely imperative that your site is useful. The more content you provide, the more you can get a foothold in your industry. When you write new content, promote it: Digg.com the article and add the article to directories and other sources. Websites can then potentially place the article on their sites, linking to the site where the article originated. A link doesn’t necessarily have to be permanent. A temporary link to an article can help search engine ranking as well.
What this all means is that link popularity is an evolving process. You should always be corresponding with site owners looking for a link trade. And you should be frequently providing new content to ensure that your site is worth the link.
