Link Popularity Notes

Ever wonder how search engines decide which sites come up first in the list after you enter a query for a particular term? They use secret algorithms that assess many different factors. They look at on page structure, the nature of the content on the page and one other thing that is more important than most anything else--link popularity.

If you have a lot of sites linking to yours, the search engines naturally assume you must be doing something right. Inbound links are a vote of confidence in the eyes of Google and the other big engines. Those who have a ton of inbound links invariably rank higher than their competitors.

Obviously, you want as much search engine traffic as you can get. That means you want those links. Building a healthy link total, however, can be very tough. You either have to supply something the world will naturally want to link to or you have to try to organize link trades. There is another way…
