About Link Popularity: Why You Should
Participate in Link Exchanges
“Link popularity” refers to the
number of links pointed to a Web site.
The higher your link popularity,
the better you stand to rate in search engine placement. The more links
your site has connecting to it, the more often it is scoped out by
search engine robots.And
sites with many links to them usually rank better in searches.
Relevance is also important.For example, if you have a horse site it is better to have other
horse-related sites linking to you than, say, a site about the mating
habits of the Hungarian Spotted Spam Lizard (made up name).
Additionally,
links can drive targeted traffic to your site.People love to browse and love to “find” a great site.Equine Web sites benefit from linking to each other because doing
so generates visits from others within the horse community.
