Link building is one of the most important practices of any  SEO out there. In this article I just like to emphasize how important link  building is in your site&#8217;s SEO.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The data from SEOmoz says that Link building makes up at least 42% of your  site&#8217;s page rank. Here&#8217;s the breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>22%<\/strong> Link Popularity of the Specific Page<\/li>\n<li><strong>20%<\/strong> Anchor Text of External Links<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>42% is a very, very big number. How big is it? Well let&#8217;s look at the rest of  the breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>24%<\/strong> Trust\/Authority of the Host Domain<\/li>\n<li><strong>7%<\/strong> Traffic and Click-Through Data<\/li>\n<li><strong>6%<\/strong> Social Graph Metrics<\/li>\n<li><strong>5%<\/strong> Registration and Hosting Data<\/li>\n<li><strong>15%<\/strong> On-Page Keyword Usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you see that 24% &#8211; authority\/trust of the host domain? Well most of that  24% is also based on your links. Why?<a title=\"Google and other websites\" href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/google-yahoo-or-bing-pick-your-poison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Because Google or other search engines <\/a> know that if you have more links, you&#8217;re probably a trustworthy site.<\/p>\n<p>Not all links are made equal. And not all links are valuable. Not all links give your site more juice. So what makes a good link?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Site relevance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the website that the link is coming from is a site that has relevant content or focus with your site then that makes the link very valuable. Links are verified by the search engines if the sites it connects are relevant with each other. The more relevant the link, the better the value of that link is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Site authority and reputation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Links that come from websites that are regarded by search engines as a reputable, trustworthy site will have more value and weight when they link to your website. Websites that are new and up-coming have less authority and reputation due to the fact that their <a title=\"Domain age matters\" href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/in-seo-domain-age-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">domain is young<\/a> and is yet to earn the trust and reputation that the search engines require.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the reason behind this is because there are so many spam sites out there with which you can easily acquire links from. But since those sites have bad reputation and no authority at all, you would be forced to think twice about getting links from them now that you know that search engines value a link that comes from a site with authority and reputation. Getting links from useless, spammy sites is the same as getting wind and putting it in a bottle &#8211; it&#8217;s simply worthless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anchor text<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Anchor text is the text used to link to you for example: <a title=\"Anchor text to SEO Hacker\" href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anchor text to SEO-Hacker<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is very important because the search engines read it due to the fact that it immediately tells them how relevant the information of your site is to the website linking to you and why it is linking to you. It is the reason or the &#8216;why&#8217; the website is linking to whomever it is linking to. And that &#8216;why&#8217; is very important to the search engines. Just imagine that you are reasoning with the search engine on why you&#8217;re giving out this link to this particular site.<\/p>\n<p>These three things should be your focus when you&#8217;re getting a link from other websites. It&#8217;s not easy &#8211; you have to study if the sites have credible authority, reputation and trust, if they will give you a good anchor text and if they are relevant to your website.
