| The number of links to your site
from other sites is key to the success of your site.The
more links there are, the easier you are to find and
the more traffic you will get. Our Link Popularity Tool
will search HotBot, MSN, and AltaVista to determine
how many pages on the Internet contain links to your
site.
What is link Popularity? Link popularity
is a general representation of the total number of web-pages
which link to a website (or individual web-page). Most
of the major search engines support the "link:"
operator. Type in “link:” (without the quotation
marks) in front of the URL that you want to learn about.
What does this tool do? This tool will
query all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN,
and Teoma) when you enter the 'link:' operator with
your chosen URL. It will return the total link count
for each URL.
You will notice that the totals vary
greatly from search engine to search engine; this is
because the figures shown represent the number of inbound-links
that are known to that search engine (which will vary
based on the size of their database). Most of the search
engines (Google especially) also apply various filters
against the inbound-links, therefore, some inbound-links
may not be counted toward the total.
Why is link popularity important?.
? Link popularity is important because it is a major
factor used by search engines in influencing a site's
position in search results. Generally, sites with more
inbound-links will be positioned higher than a similar
site with less. Other factors that are considered include
anchor text.
