Link building is an integral aspect of achieving and maintaining high search engine rankings in the natural listings, particularly with Google. It has been estimated by insiders that over 50% of all factors responsible for how well Google will rank your website are related to ‘off-page’ factors, so this means the link popularity of your domain is key when it comes to getting on the front page of Google for any competitive phrase.
You may well be asking “why link popularity is regarded as being so important by Google?” The answer is that increasingly over the years, people were able to manipulate the code and text on their websites to achieve high rankings, so mention a word more and you’d rank higher for it, This being far too easy to manipulate, Google switched a lot of the emphasis on to how other websites interact with yours, i.e.
- do they link to you?
- what text do they link with?
- are they an important site?
This is a similar principle to people recommending someone to you, such as a plumber. The idea is that if enough people (i.e. websites) provide a link to your site, then you must know what you’re doing.
What difference can one-way link building can make?
Imagine a specific page of text on your website, with its unique words and phrases on it. You may well rank 50th in Google for a specific phrase on that page. After 6 months of link building you’d rank approximately 10th for the same phrase without changing any content on that page. This is the effect of increased link popularity as Google rates your domain -and everything within it – as higher than it did previously, meaning the on-page code and copy optimisation work is far more effective than it would have been before.
