The Link Popularity

The Link Popularity
How can your website be improved by the link popularity
Being popular is what most of the people desire, because they are recognized, and all the people know them. This is also applied when it comes to the website industry. Some sites are more popular than others, and by this they receive more visitors. The Link Popularity means the amount of sites that are linked to your site. If your site is very good it will be advantageous for the other sites to link your site, but if your site is not good not many sites will be linked to you.

Even if it seems childish to have as many links as possible, it is not because the link popularity affects the website's position into the search engines.

How does the link popularity work?
Google introduced the concept, by adding websites to their search engines; they also added crawlers, or spiders, to follow the hyperlinks of each of these sites. They calculate how many websites have links to your site, and it makes it easier for Google to index your website if many sites have linked you. In this case it is not even required to submit the URL of your website because the spider will find your site following the links.

Quantity against Quality
The link popularity can boost your site on top on many search engines. They see that you are popular amongst other sites and they want to share that with the people. Your site won't reach a high position in the searches if all you do is submit URL's, because the spider is updated software and it recognizes when something is not right. A site being submitted to hundreds of search engines, but without any other accreditation might be considered junk and won't be taken in consideration.

Also is important what sites are linked to yours. The bigger sites are much more valuable than the smaller ones, so it's not just enough to have a large number of linked sites. A few well known sites might be more important than a dozen of unknown sites. Do not post your link in low quality sites because Google is against this, and it will ban such activities.
