Link Popularity

[yamamura]

link popularity is determined by the number and quality of websites that have linked to your website (often referred to as "backlinks"). The effects of link popularity are threefold: (1) links to your site give Web users ways to find your site while visiting other sites; (2) links to your site give search engine spiders (robots) trails to follow to find and index or re-index your site; (3) links to your site are essentially votes for your site in search engine ranking algorithms, but not all votes are counted equally.

Link popularity denotes the number of links pointing to and from related sites and is an very important technique of improving your site's relevancy in search engines.

There are three types of links that will boost the link popularity of your site:

1. Internal links;
2. Inbound/incoming links; and
3. Outbound/outgoing links.

In search engine optimization (SEO) terminology it is the term used to describe the value of a Web site, where the measurement is based on the quantity of quality Inbound links (also called backlinks) to your pages. Many search engines, including Google use link popularity in its algorithm when determining where your Web site is listed in its SERP.
