As i have told you in a last thread i want to start a new promotion for a website. i am knew to SEO and i want to start as much as i can for my website.

Can you please tell me how does link popularity work?

thanks in advance

When some search engines index a page, they will check their database for how many pages are linking to that page (or domain). This will give the page a 'link popularity' rating. In some cases, such as Google, it will also use the link popularity of the site that is linking to that page to determine the quality of the link. For example, a link from C-net would push the rating much higher than a link from a personal page.

When a search is performed, the engine will first scan for relevant results. Once it has the results, it will use the link popularity rating to sort the results. You can see great examples of this by performing searches in Google. Most of the results for general query's are from high traffic sites. For example, the top 3 results on Google for an 'entertainment' search are Netscape, Lycos, and Yahoo.

yes it is true.

i'd like to add that some webmasters will want something in return. In that case you can either offer a link back to their site, or offer them a payback in terms of a commission for each visitor they refer. You can buy software that will keep track of these links.
By persuading other Web sites to link to yours, your search engine rankings will improve greatly. In addition they will be sharing some of their traffic with you. Another bonus is that as their sites grow, your site will grow with them -- without any extra effort on your part!

Just to add to this post:

the relevancy of the backlinks have a lot of influence too.
Is better to get links from sites within the same subject.

Yep, link quality is much more important than link quantity. In fact, I've heard suggestions that it may not be wise to have many low quality links. I don't know if the opinion is that it could negatively affect your ranking or if it's just a matter of it being a waste of time?
