 What is Link Popularity
Link Popularity is the number and quality of inbound links to a particular web site or page. This is becoming as important as the optimisation of the page content. Search engines now use this as part of the positioning process.
Your link popularity is the total number of external sites that link to yours and a site with a lot of external links is considered to contain valuable site content. Search Engines do use different algorithms to rank sites but the major ones do take into consideration link popularity. By having lots of links to your site you will also improve your own Search Engine ranking . As more and more sites link to yours the odds are increased for the search engine spiders to encounter your site more often which will make it less likely for your site to be droped from their databases.
