SEO Tools - Link Popularity
What is
link Popularity? Link popularity is
a general representation of the total
number of web-pages which link to a
website (or individual web-page). Most
of the major search engines support the
"link:" operator. Type in “link:”
(without the quotation marks) in front
of the URL that you want to learn about.
What does this tool do? This tool
will query all the major search engines
(Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Teoma) when you
enter the 'link:' operator with your
chosen URL. It will return the total
link count for each URL.
You will notice that the totals vary
greatly from search engine to search
engine; this is because the figures
shown represent the number of
inbound-links that are known to that
search engine (which will vary based on
the size of their database). Most of the
search engines (Google especially) also
apply various filters against the
inbound-links, therefore, some
inbound-links may not be counted toward
the total.
Why is link popularity important?.
? Link popularity is important because
it is a major factor used by search
engines in influencing a site's position
in search results. Generally, sites with
more inbound-links will be positioned
higher than a similar site with less.
Other factors that are considered
include anchor text. |
