About Link Popularity
Search engines use 'link popularity' as a factor in determining your ranking for relevant search terms. In the most basic sense, link popularity simply is the number of links from other websites that point to your website.
Link popularity has traditionally been acquired through reciprocal linking however, as search engines have become more sophisticated, so too has the way they interpret your inbound links in determining your link popularity.
Content Relevancy
In the beginning there was little emphasis placed on 'content relevancy' between websites that linked to one another. In an effort to gain more link popularity, 'link farms' and other 'reciprocal linking schemes' began appearing across the web. For a nominal fee, a website owner could join one of these schemes and enjoy increased link popularity overnight.
Search engines have since caught onto this tactic and created better tools for detecting legitimate links and filtering out those that are irrelevant. Put simply... websites with links from other websites that contain 'similar' or 'relevant' content score higher, thus earning better placement in the search engines for the search terms that are important.
In fact, some search engines will actually penalize a site for maintaining an abundance of links from non-related or irrelevant websites.
Link Analysis vs Link Popularity
While 'link popularity' is generally used to measure the number of pages that link to a particular site, 'link analysis' goes further, actually analyzing the 'popularity' of the pages that link to that site. Search engines use 'link analysis' in their page-ranking algorithms and also try to determine the 'context' of those links... in other words, how closely those links relate to the search string.
Link Strategy
This means its more important than ever to develop a solid 'link strategy', which brings us to the purpose of this post on the importance and benefit of linking to www.AnnaMariaIslandLife.com (or any one of our sister Anna Maria Island based websites).
Improve Your Link Popularity by Linking to Us, and Here is How it Works!
First... If your business maintains an online presence in the form of a website, blog or online journal, then your listing within the Anna Maria Island Life Business Directory already contains a links to it. This link is relevant and contextual, which makes it a legitimate, purposeful link that contributes to your overall link popularity and placement within the search results.
Second... As the www.AnnaMariaIslandLife.com directory becomes increasingly popular, the more beneficial that link becomes.
Popular directory websites, such as www.AnnaMariaIslandLife.com, can quickly develop high page rank, which in turn will increase the value of their links pointing back to you. This can help move you to the top of the search engine listings quickly.
Third... The links we provide will be coming from a blog page fully dedicated to promoting your website and business. Blog's can be powerful in your effort to achieve top search engine ranking for your important terms, and much like an 'about page' for your business, the blog page we provide is dedicated solely to you and your businesses website.
It doesn't stop there. Every time we do a post that gives us the opportunity to include your business or URL, we link to the page we created, thus breathing new life and authority into your post on a regular basis. As time goes by, the dedicated blog page (interview and about page) we provide increases in popularity and Page Rank, and that popularity (via links back to your website) is continually being transfered back to you.
Fourth... When we create your dedicated interview / promo / about page and / or interview, we also do a post in our forum under the appropriate category. This further increases the popularity of the blog page we give you and in turn increases the popularity of your website.
Fifth... Once you enter into an arrangement as described above, there are limitless possibilities. For example, we can publish regular blog pages with information about an event or business promotion. We can publish a feature article that focuses on the industry in which you operate, your local community, or your business operations.
