Link Popularity
A growing number of search engines use link popularity in their ranking
algorithms. Google
uses it as its most important factor in ranking sites. HotBot,
AltaVista, MSN,
Inktomi, and others
also use link popularity in their formulas. Eventually every major engine
will use link popularity, so developing and maintaining it are essential
to your search engine placement.
Link popularity can do a lot for your site. Not only will many search
engines rank you higher, but links from other sites will also drive more
traffic to you.
Not just numbers
Link popularity is much more than a measure of how many links point
to a site. Search engines use far more sophisticated formulas to gauge
how popular sites are. In general, however, link popularity is measured
by the following three factors:
- Number of Links - The more, the better. Although lots of irrelevant
links are less effective than a few relevant ones, they're better than
nothing. Inktomi,
a company that provides search results to engines like HotBot,
still values the number of links more than anything else.
- Relevance - Search engines prioritize incoming links from pages
that are relevant to the page in question. For example, if you sell
puppy food, a link from a dog food supplier can boost your rankings
more than one from, say, your sister's gardening site.
- Link text - The text used to describe a link can also affect
your rankings. These three links all point to the same URL but use different
text:

Search engines' spiders figure that any words other sites use to describe
your site are particularly relevant. So, if lots of sites linking to
you use keywords in their link text, search engines will boost your
ranking for those keywords.
