How powerful is the website that's linking to you?

A strong website is usually one that has Many sites linking to Them. This is often denoted by Google Page Rank feature. Here are some examples.

  • If a page on another website is linking to you, and that website has 5 people linking to them, then you would get a 'Small Vote'
  • If a website is linking to you, and that website has 10,000 other websites linking to them, then you would get a much more powerful 'Vote' because their website is considered to be very topical and relevant by the search engines. Theses types of sites are called trusted authority sites.

The words that link to your site.

The world's best SEO firms and most noted search engine specialist try to get sites to use relevant keywords in the links linking to your site. (Called Anchor Text)

  • If a page is linking to you with the words "SEO Company" then the Search Engines would assume your site is about "SEO". (shock!)
  • If a page is linking to your site with the words "Laminate Floor Cleaner " then the Search Engine would assume your site is about? Wait for it! "Laminate Floor Cleaner". The website in question will have a much better chance of ranking high for "Laminate Floor Cleaner" if someone searched for that.

Internet Advertising for Search Engines also involves relations between the site linking to you.

The best online advertising tactics involve trying to get sites that are topically related to your site to link to you.

  • If you sell "Laminate Floor Cleaner" and a site about "Online Casino" links to you, you're not scoring much in the Search Engines relevance Charts!
  • If you sell "Laminate Floor Cleaner" and a site about "Wooden Floor Supplies" links to you, then you're scoring a LOT of topical Relevance, and may rank higher in the search engines for that particular phrase.
