Link popularity check is one of the best ways to quantifiably and independently measure your website's online awareness and overall visibility. Simply put, link popularity refers to the total number of links or "votes" that a search engine has found for your website.
Here are some ideas for useful data you can gather using the Link Popularity tool:
1. Total number of pages in each search engines index that contains a link to your site, including your own website.
2. Browse through the sites that are linking to you. This gives you a view of the volume and quality of pages linking to you. It’s another way to view the sites that may be referring traffic to you. Once you find out who is linking to you and where they are linking to, you can understand the areas of your site that are performing well. You’ll also be able to strategize ways to improve your reach and performance by knowing your audience.
3. How are your competitors performing in search engines? If they are performing well, you can look at the sites that are linking to them to understand the places you need to improve your visibility.
This tool SHOULD NOT be used to:
1. Determine the dollar ($$) value of a website domain name. This tool is simply provided as a convenience and the user should take note that not all Links are equal in the eyes of the search engines. Just because one site has more links than another does not mean that it is a better site or necessarily more popular.
2. Excessively track link popularity values. Measuring your link popularity values once per month is more than enough. Checking daily or weekly is not a good use of your time. Instead, go create some new content that your visitors would benefit from. Suspicious activity may be reported to the search engines at Marketleap’s discretion.
In the future, I will make it a button so you can place it on your site. Stay tuned :)
Everything You Need to Know About Link Popularity
The number of websites that link to your website is one of the factors that help search engines determine your relevancy for a search term. Link popularity and gaining new links from outside websites to your website have proven to be a popular concept for people seeking to improve their search engine rankings.
What is link popularity and how exactly does it work? Search engines don't just look at the content of your website to determine if you are a match for a search. They also look at the number of outside websites that can validate, by linking, that you are a good match.
Search engines have also begun to rank the importance of the sites that link to you. This means if the New York Times links to your site, your credibility is higher than if Joe's Online Newspaper provides a link to your website. Search engines also consider the text contained in the link that is pointing to your website. If the text in the links contains keywords you are trying to compete for, the search engines consider your site to have even greater credibility.
Since link popularity has become a factor that people feel like they have some influence over in determining their search engine positioning, many solutions have been proposed for growing your online link popularity. One of the more popular ways is also one of the least effective.
Several software programs have been written that help you create lists of websites in your space that might be willing to link to you. These programs also help you gather the email addresses for these sites and even help you craft an email requesting that the site add a link to yours.
The concept sounds good but the results are often mixed. If you use one of these tools and simply follow the templates they give you, your email will read like a spam message that won't be taken seriously.
The best way to build long-term link popularity is to offer good content and features that provide real value to your audience. As people discover your website and realize its benefits, the likelihood of them linking to your website naturally increases.
There are several critical targets if you want to build up your link popularity without appearing to be a spammer. The first is good links from Yahoo and the Open Directory Project. Both of these sites are human based directories that have a lot of influence over search results. If your site is listed in the correct category and has a good description, links from these two websites are seen as validating you are the real thing.
The second place it's important to have a link from is topic specific or niche directories. These are websites that are dedicated to news and information that is an exact match for what you provide online. If you have a website that deals with tractor parts, being listed on sites that focus on tractors is very important. In the case where a niche website doesn't know about your website, it's okay to ask them to link to your website. But your message should be personalized to them and also tell them the benefit or feature their users will get from linking to you.
Another part of the web that helps build your link popularity is resource sites. Resource sites are lists of links that people put up on their own. These pages are often spread amongst friends and readers who find good information available from the resource. In order to reach this audience, a good PR campaign and press releases can ensure that these individuals know you exist and have a link to your website that they can easily include.
One of the most overlooked spots for building link popularity is links from partners and vendors for your business. Because you already have a business relationship with these companies or individuals, you are more likely to be able to request and receive a link from their website. These websites help validate your place online and also establish you within a community of websites online. If you are visible to the community, you are more visible to the search engines.
Link popularity also starts at home. You must make sure your link architecture is solid and easily followed by search engines. That's the first way that search engines see you. It's also the way that visitors find information within your website. The easier you make it on your audience to find good information, the more likely they are to link to it.
The final way you can work to increase your link popularity is to participate in newsletters and online forums that relate to your website. You don't want to just jump in and give a plug for your URL. You must participate in the discussion as an expert or authority who gives good advice. When you sign your name at the bottom of your posting, be sure to include a signature that includes a link to your website. If these forums and newsletters are archived and remain online, search engines continue to see them and the links they contain.
If your website doesn't have a lot of content and you are wondering how you can build your link popularity you should think about building a tool or feature on your website that will be valuable to your online audience. Marketleap's Search Engine Marketing tools are a good example of a feature built to generate link popularity.
Marketleap's free tools provide unique data for search engine marketers that they can't find other places. We've also made it possible for people to place our tools on their sites easily by cutting and pasting a piece of HTML code into their web page. Because the tools are valuable to our community, many websites have linked to the tools or added the tool to their own website. Consequently, if you search for "link popularity" at Google, Marketleap will usually appear in the top 3 results on the first page.
Link popularity will continue to be an essential factor in successful search engine marketing initiatives for the foreseeable future. Links are a helpful tool for search engines trying to wade through billions of documents and find ones that are relevant to their users.
Link popularity FAQ
A. Link Popularity is important to several groups for different reasons.
Link Popularity (a concept mostly pioneered by Google) is important to the major search engines because it provides one of the strongest methods available for delivering highly relevant search results. If a search engine cannot deliver useful and relevant information to its users, those users will find another search engine.
For the website owner or operator, Link Popularity becomes a strategy or tactic that can be used to boost site referrals and develop new online relationships.
Market researchers and analysts are interested in Link Popularity because it provides a real-time marketing performance metric that is based on an index of independent and publicly available data sources (i.e. Google, FAST, Alta Vista, AOL, MSN, HotBot).
Q. Are all links created equal?
A. No. The search engines can look at the source of a link and weight it differently from others. For instance, a link to your site from CNN.com is better than a link from SomeDumbSite.com (in theory). So, if two sites are equal in every respect except that one has a link to it from the home page of CNN.com, and the other site has a link from SomeDumbSite.com, the first site will perform better for relevant keyword searches. If you've had your site posted to thousands of bogus link farms (sites designed to artificially inflate Link Popularity) don't hold your breath. Bottom line: attain as many relevant and credible links as possible and don't count on shortcuts.
Q. How do I interpret my Link Popularity score?
A. Your Link Popularity score should be looked at in two respects: 1) How do you compare to your direct competitors and others in the same keyword space? This will give you a sense of how visible you are within your online market. 2) Is your Link Popularity score growing or shrinking over time? If it isn't growing, this will help you understand that you must perform additional marketing in order to expose yourself to a wider audience.
Q. How can I increase my Link Popularity?
A. Link Popularity can be increased by implementing a variety of tools and techniques, such as a thorough site submission to all major relevant search engines and directories (for starters), link letter campaigns, viral marketing applications, and more great content with an ongoing search engine optimization strategy.
Q. Why does MSN Search report 0 link popularity? I know there are more than this!
A. Unfortunately, MSN Web Search does not support hyphens in linkdomain searches...
a URL like "www.some-domain.com" will result in 0 links from MSN Web search. Of course this does not necessarily mean that there are no pages linking to you. Until MSN Web Search can support hyphenated linkdomain searches, the Marketleap Visibility Index cannot support them.
You can try an "Advanced" search at http://search.msn.com/advanced.asp... enter your domain like www.some-domain.com, Select "Links to URL" from the drop down box, then check the "stemming" check box. Your search will produce the closest thing possible to a link popularity search. NOTE that the resulting links may not actually contain links to your URL... they may only contain a textual reference of your domain which is not considered "link popularity".
Q. Why does Google return 0 or very low link popularity? I know there are more than this!
A. Linkdomain searches at Google work better using the "www." portion of the domain name that you are reporting on. Google will many times return 0, or a lower value if you only submit the second level domain portion of the domain name. Include the "www." portion of your domain name (if applicable) for an accurate link popularity report from Google.
Having a high link popularity number (assuming those pages linking to you are quality sites) will help your ranking with search engines like Google. A high index count means that you have more pages available for the engines to consider when building its search results. The two numbers are not tied together. They are both unique ways to understand your availability and popularity online.
