Link Popularity is one way to build traffic into your website.
The idea is initiated by Google cofounder noting that if
one website A points to another website B, this implies that
website A is endorsing B on its own website. Therefore, the
better a website is, the more links pointing to that particular
site.
This concept is now known as link popularity. A lot of webmasters
are obsessed about their site link popularity. Some tried
unscrupulous way by buying hundreds of text link from another
site. But this method works only in the short term. A frequent
updates from Google, also known as Google dance, change its
algorithm periodically.
The effectiveness of buying the so-called text link has
been decreasing as Google made some changes to its algorithm.
Recently, some suspect that the latest Google update also
diminish the value of reciprocal link. Reciprocal link is
exchanging link with other sites where site A link to B and
site B made a link to site A.
I am no expert in search engine algorithm. The only individuals
who know how Google works is those folks residing at Googleplex
themselves. However, I believe that there are some ways you
can do to gain link popularity.
First and most importantly, you need to build lots of contents.
Having lots of contents enable you to give information to
search engine users. When these folks like your thought or
insight, some of them will eventually quote your article
and provide a source, the equivalent of a linkpage, pointing
to your website.
Furthermore, as your content grows, you will be viewed as
the expert in your field. This will in turn attract more
surfers and webmasters which will ocassionally give you a
link back.
The second way to get more links is to open your own web
log or blog. People that read your blog will click on the
link you provided if you can give them an interesting article
to read.
The third way to gain link popularity is to submit a one
way link page to web directories. While this method is less
effective, a one way link is a safer way to go rather than
a reciprocal link. The reason is that your site normally
do not get penalized from a bad link pointing towards you.
After all, you can only control your links pointing to other
websites and not the other way around. If you are doing reciprocal
link with a 'bad' website, google will penalize you too since
you 'endorse' their websites by providing a link back. With
this method, make sure you don't oversubmit your website
to one specific directory.
Google's spider may suspect lots of links pointing to your
site as a sign that you are buying a text link from that
particular site.
