Link building
In this post I would like to focus on link popularity issues. No doubt, links are of great importance to site owners and SEO specialists who promote websites of their customers. It is harder and harder to rank well in the search engines with their every major update. One of the ways to change and improve the situation is to constantly work at your link popularity getting more related links of good quality that will refer to your website.
Link popularity is a measure of the quantity and quality of other web sites that link to a specific site on the World Wide Web. It is an example of the move by search engines towards off-the-page-criteria to determine quality content. In theory, off-the-page-criteria adds the aspect of impartiality to search engine rankings.
Link popularity plays an important role in the visibility of a web site among the top of the search results. Indeed, some search engines require at least one or more links coming to a web site, otherwise they will drop it from their index. [wikipedia.org]
