How Search Engines Value Backlinks

Baba — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:35:48 +0000

Incoming Links from other URLs are known as backlinks. However, the number of backlinks isn’t the factor that affect ranking. Its quality of backlinks. Google says that backlinks are one of the 200+ factors that affect ranking but it is also true that backlinks have more than 70% role on getting a website ranked top ! People are confused on what is actually meant by quality backlinks and why a website with very less amount of backlinks is ranked higher than the website with 10x times more backlinks. The answer is simple, the site ranked higher has higher quality backlinks. So lets talk on how search engines evaluate backlinks.

InContent Links have much more value than links on sidebar > footer

Yes, if you can get incontent link then its the best way to boost your ranking. Just give a quality content to high authority website with a link in it ! It is counted as high quality backlink. So, guest blogging is very very popular these days. Article Marketing was over-spammed but the backlinks count !

Backlinks from High Authority and Trusted Pages are valued more ! Even from low quality or poor pages

Yes, its true ! Its best to get a backlink from loc.gov (A in-content link). If it is not possible then just getting a backlink from any forum inside the domain is also valued high ! Thus, profile backlinks are popular ! However, spamming all the forums with software doesn’t worth guys !

Backlinks from Unique Domains are more valuable !

Getting 1000 backlinks from the same domain is not valuable as getting 10 backlinks from different domains. Assuming the quality/authority of domains same ! So, just try to get backlinks from different domains.

Backlinks from Spammy Pages can harm !

Well, many people say its not true ! Backlinks can never harm because if it used to harm then competitors would use to harm their enemies ! No, it harms. But if you have a backlink from one authority website then 100s of spammy backlinks won’t be counted much ! That means, if you have many spammy backlinks and no or very few good backlinks then your website will be penalized !

Of course, no webmaster wants his website to see with full of spammy links ! But the comment spam syatem is very popular these days. It is hard to stop ! However, sites that approve comment manually are great resources to get backlinks. Leave a valuable comment and they will allow you a backlink !

Anchor Text in Backlink has high value !

Its simple and we all know that a backlink with Anchor Text in it is much more valuable than the one with no anchor text ! Here, HTML anchor text is again more valued than other coding. Like wiki pages have different system tho they allow anchor text ! Which is not counted more valuable !

Links in first para or first sentence is counted more valuable !

Ahh !! What if Ezinearticles allowed a do-follow link in first paragraph ? It would be counted more valuable ! Search engines are really getting smarter and such factors affect ranking ! They always say use high quality content in your website to get ranked well !

Well Guys, These were few factors that search engines use to evaluate the quality of backlinks. If you are looking to buy backlinks then simply go to :

Buy 250 High Authority Backlinks

Purchasing Links from High PR Pages.

Baba — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:10:04 +0000

Today, we mostly purchase link from niche related high PR sites to boost SEO and PR. But the problem here is good links are always expensive and you may not be able to purchase links forever unless you earn good. People are selling PR4 links for $20 permanent or even cheaper but these links are totally useless. Either they are dropped domain or there is something wrong. A good PR link will cost you minimum $30 a month and its fair price. A pr7 link will cost you $150 to $250 a month. We can not expect PR7+ link to purchase. However i find people selling PR8 and PR9 backlink also. I would like to request you never to buy such links and never to buy more than 5 links. The main focus of buying link should be to get PR for your and not to boost your search engine ranking.

Best Deal – Purchase one PR6

Purchasing PR6 link in long term would be best deal. You have to be very careful about the site history, its content and reputation before purchasing links. You will get PR6 link for about $100 a month and if it has low OBL it will make your site PR4 which is good deal. You can earn $100 by selling links and pay your charge.

Never search for cheap links

You may find cheap links being sold in various forums like digitalpoint, warriorforum but never purchase such links. As i mentioned above they are either afraid of being their PR dropped or they have a dropped domain or they are going to sell site or close site etc etc. There can be various reason behind.

Never deal on more than 3 months

No one knows what is gonna happen in next google update. The PR6 site can be PR1 in next update so dealing for more than 3 months is not recommended. This is benefit for both the parties.

No need to purchase relevant links, but its better if we have one.

Though you don’t find relevant links no problem. You can purchase link if it fulfills other requirements. Its always better if you get relevant link. Also try to check that all sold links from that site are also relevant for better results. I have found relevant links helping much in SEO but not in PR.

Contact Webmaster directly : Best option.

Try to search sites yourself and then contact webmaster and then have a deal. This would be best way rather than contacting a person in network.

Well, i have mentioned main points here and if some points are missed you please mention it in comment. I will update here too.
