The Importance Of Linking, Link Popularity Plus Tag And Ping
Keywords: link popularity, backlinks, back links, tag and ping
The majority of the major search engines use link popularity as an important factor in ranking relevancy. As search engines have become more sophisticated, so too has link popularity. Link popularity simply is the number of links from other websites that point to your website.
This strategy has gained immense success due to the crawling nature of most search engines. Spiders crawl from link to link and store pages into their database. Link popularity is generally gained through reciprocal linking. Other websites would usually point to your website only if you have a link to their website from yours.
A few years ago, the number of websites linking to your site gauged link popularity; little emphasis was placed on the “content relevancy” of the linking site. In an effort to gain more link popularity, “link farms” began sprouting up across the web. For a nominal fee, a website owner could join link farms and enjoy increased link popularity overnight.
Search engines caught onto this tactic and created better tools for detecting legitimate links. Websites that have links from websites with “similar” or “relevant” content score higher, thus earn better placement in search engines.
However, Avoid joining “link farms”; some search engines consider them a form of Spam. Many engines will actually penalize sites for maintaining an abundance of links from non-related websites. It is more important than ever to develop a solid “link-popularity” strategy. One excellent, although time consuming, method is to simply write complimentary website requesting a link exchange.
Link analysis is somewhat different than measuring link popularity. While link popularity is generally used to measure the number of pages that link to a particular site, link analysis will go beyond this and analyze the popularity of the pages that link to your pages. In a way link analysis is a chain analysis system that accords weighting to every page that links to the target site, with weights determined by the popularity of those pages. Search engines use link analysis in their page-ranking algorithm. Search engines also try to determine the context of those links, in other words, how closely those links relate to the search string. For example if the search string was “toys”, and if there were links from other sites that either had the word toys within the link or in close proximity of the link, the ranking algorithm determines that this a higher priority link and ranks the page, that this is linked to, higher.
The higher the page rank of the site linking back to yours the better. The so called “authority sites”, which may just be glorified link directories but have page rank of a PR6 or higher will rocket you to the top of search engine listings quickly.
So how do you do this? Well the way to do it up until recently was by blogging and pinging, but now the new generation is using what is being referred to as “Tag and Ping”, referring to tags, such as Technorati tags placed in the blog and then pinged to authoritative social bookmarking sites.
