Quick Introduction to Link PopularityWritten by Alan Grissett
Continued from page 1
Then along came click tracking and link popularity. Click tracking is another topic in its own right, so that won't be covered right now, but basis of link popularity can be explained in one sentence: The more sites that provide quality links to yours, better. It's not really that simple, because there are different kinds of links and linking methods that affect ranking, but for an introductory article, it'll do just fine. Basically, algorithms, or rules, that search engines use favor those sites that have a large number of quality links pointing toward them. You can think of it as a popularity contest. Page A has more links pointing toward it, so therefore it must be a more useful page than page B, which has no links pointing toward it. Because of this, building links with other sites is simply one of most effective forms of promotion for your site.

Continued from page 1 you don’t need your link to be approved by webmaster. But how do you find similar websites that offer a guestbook on their website? Easy! You’ll want to use Yahoo.com as your search engine because it’s best. Click on advanced search, which is right next to search box. The first box you’ll see gives you option of specifying words that MUST be included in each search result. You’ll want to use words that relate to your website content. For my website, I used words “business, money, opportunity, income.” The second box lets you specify a phrase that must be included in content of each search result. This is where you put “sign my guestbook.” Click search and you’ll have a ton of websites that are similar to yours and offer a guestbook for you sign. So start signing away and soon you’ll increase your link popularity and skyrocket your website traffic! **************************************** Ryan Cote’ is webmaster of http://www.MonthlyNetIncome.com?gb – your one stop source for making monthly income on Internet, GUARANTEED.
