Calculating
Link Popularity
 By
Henry James
Links are the building blocks of a website and your website cannot survive without
developing popular links. For, the links offer a gateway to the desired information
via just a click.
Thus, by building link popularity you would get targeted traffic and better search
engine ratings to your website. And this would further help you pace up your online
business.
You should always remember that link popularity is a vital instrument for determining
your search engine rankings. The quality links on your site directly decide your
good search engines' ranking. So for a better Internet presence, you need to maintain
efficient and correct links to your website.
The number of websites linking to your site is definitely crucial. But you have
to be very careful of linking with the other websites. If the site linked to your
website is good one, it's is surely an added advantage to you. In case, irrelevant
websites link to your site, your rating with the search engines can slash, at
once. So, the junk links should not be added to your website at all.
You cannot even imagine a good page rank in the search engines without maintaining
links popularity. And to get a good page rank, you must keep checking or calculating
your link popularity. Calculating link popularity is simple. A numbers of search
engines like Google calculate the link popularity of a website via a number of
factors.
To calculate it precisely, type "Link: domain name of your website". Then press
enter. You will view all the websites linking to your website as a result. The
number of websites that appear is the number of link popularity.
Suppose the number of websites linking to your website is 200, then your link
popularity is 200. This number will decide your rank in the search engine ratings.
Though, the search engines consider a number of things apart from the number of
links as well. But the links must always be targeted.
Calculating link popularity on regular interval, alerts you about the performance
of your website. You come to know the rise or the fall in the number of your links.
This way, you get to keep a track on the links. And by tracking the links, you
can definitely find out the targeted links that are increasing your link popularity
further. Though, the best way to get the targeted links is to get the links of
your competitor.
To find out the links that link to your competitor, type "Link: domain name of
the competitor's website". You will get a list of the websites linking to your
competitor. After this you can send an email-request to them to add your link.
The chances are that your link will soon be added as your website is in competition
with that website.
Apart from the search engines, you can also use software to calculate your link
popularity. You can purchase or download the software from different websites.
More over, this software is designed to give much more than the link popularity
calculation to you. You will get to know your exact link popularity on the different
search engines via this software. It will also tell you the details of your links,
page ranks and the number of quality reciprocal links, inbound links and outbound
links for your website. So the software gives you a summary of your performance
while calculating the link popularity for you.
