Link Popularity FAQ

Building links doesnt always have to be so stressful. Many sites tell you that theyll increase your links by 1000 overnight if you spend $39.99! Im here to tell you, its not the quantity, its the quality.br /
br /
Although quality does help, its hard to judge what is quality and what isnt. The first comes first, reciprocal links arent all that great, so dont spend hours upon hours of sending hopeless spam mails to sites who, if you had good content, would link to you for free.br /
br /
The best way to gain links quickly is article submission. One article, if well written and of high quality, can generate 10-15 links. Think of the possibilities! Write one article a day for a week and you may end up with 100 links. And that is, 100 non-reciprocal links. br /
br /
bWhy are non-reciprocal links so important?/bbr /
Well, I will tell you. Search engines, such as Google and Yahoo!, are now counting reciprocal links for less. There is even speculation of the recent update that Yahoo! is penalizing sites which have links pages.br /
br /
Even if this were not the case, non-reciprocal links are more important for one reason, visitors. Visitors dont like to see sites with worthless links to websites they dont want. Why have a link to a travel website if you are in entertainment (besides the obvious, but you get the point)? Even if you do have a reciprocal link to a site which is your competitor you may lose visitors by giving them a higher link popularity.br /
br /
bShould I not link to anyone then?/bbr /
No. In fact, you should link to as many iauthoritative/i sites as possible (authoritative sites are sites which are ranked 1 or 2 throughout your genre).br /
br /
Links are very important on ievery/i site. Dont just give them away, choose carefully. Link to authoritative sites with great content you know your visitors will appreciate. Just ask yourself, If the links are not for the visitors use, what use are they then?br /
br /
bSo, Ive done the whole article submission thing, what other ways can I gain link popularity?/bbr /
Directories and great content. Content is king and is becoming more-so with the evolution of Search Engines. When a site owner finds an article useful he or she generally places a link to it, even if it is just a blog, its still a link. But whatever you do, dont do the silly thing and spam blogs, that will only get you banned.br /
br /
Directories are also a major part. If you can write a great description and have an editor in your field at DMOZ.org, submit it and forget it. Either you will get in or you wont. If there isnt an editor, try becoming one. It will only take a few hours of your time, just dont get too hopeful.br /
br /
If you cant get in DMOZ, dont worry, there are tons of other useful directories out there. Tons of FREE directories. Dont spend $10-$20 on a directory submission unless you know they are worth it and can generate quality traffic. Google and others are starting to crack down on directories who require a fee in order to get listed.br /
