So what are the most important factors in building links? There are 3 main factors in building links that you have to live by. Do this and you will get great ranks and lots of Google love. Ignore it and your site will be doomed to a dull live on page 107 where no one ever sees you.

1. Page Rank Getting links from sites with a high Google Page Rank is the most important factor. The logic is that if an important site thinks that you are important enough to link to, then you must be important (yes it's a twisted logic, but that's Google for you).

2. Relevance Getting random links from random websites is fast becoming worthless. Google's algorithm is getting smarter and one thing that it's getting smarter at is sniffing out relevance. Getting links from other authority sites in your market, niche or category is wort infinitely more than random links from generic websites.

3. Anchor Text The common example of how important anchor text is, is with the search term "click here" which has Adobe Acrobat as number 1 in Google. Why is this? The words "click here" does not even appear on that page? Well, it's simply because millions of sites use the anchor text "click here" to link to the download page of Adobe Acrobat. So, when you are building links it's important to use your keywords and keyword phrases in the anchor text.

There's a lot of debate about how quality and quantity of links match up in the Google ranking wars. For the most part the evidence is that quality of links will always outweigh quantity. A good strategy for link building is to focus 60% of your time on quality and 40% on quantity. The important thing is to get links though cause in the end it's the only thing that will get you ranked and make you money.

Those are great tips mate. Thanks.Will take a look at your blog too

That's really awesome quote #3. I never thought about that or tried to see for general keywords on what comes first in Google results. You are very much into this SEO and doing some great research.

I agree with the first two points and learned them by experience. But the last one was never clear to me. I didn't have proof to believe. The term "click here" is a wonderful proof of anchor text's importance in SEO. Out of 2 billion search results only the download page of adobe acrobat reader ranks 1st in search results. Too ahead of competition.

Thanks for sharing. Your blog seems to be full of innovative SEO tips!

Thanks for the tips. I must say they are all very true.

Just to add to your advice...

I found that if you combine anchor texts with quantity, you also get some amazing results.

Few months ago, I found three a low PR related web sites that were willing to put my link with a particular anchor text on many of their pages. That caused my website to jump from #81 to #7 in one week.

Yes, quality is important, but remember that something is always better than nothing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Quality is always a factor and the second factor is relevancy. 100 backlinks from relevant sites is much worthier than 1000 backlinks from irrelevant sites.

Use of right keywords is important. Always remember to include them as your anchor text. No wonder why 'click here' is very famous.

thanks for the great tips..

Your tips are actually very efficient. If one follows them rightly, it is bound to get a good PR in Google. Thanks for the tips.

I guess I will just keep these three factors into mind when I do the SEO.
