Improving Your Site’s Link Popularity, And Search Engine Ranking November 16, 2006
Posted by HART (1-800-HART) in : Articles,Link Popularity , add a commentBy Donald Nelson
Have you ever wondered why one web site (maybe yours) is buried deep in the search rankings for a particular keyword, while another site (your competitor’s) is at the top? Both sites may have similar content and even similar metatags, but one is number one and the other is number 131.
The answer to this disparity may lie in a factor known as link popularity. When search engines determine rankings, many things are taken into consideration and one of them is how many sites are linked to your site. Search engines such as Google give much importance to both the quantity and the quality of these incoming links. If many sites are linked to yours, your site is considered to be an important resource in that particular field and that is why the search engines would like to give such a site a high ranking. Also if the links to your site are coming from “important” or high ranked sites, then your web site is considered still more important.
