Link Popularity
Written by: Chris PadavickArticle Overview: Link building is a targeted way of building a web sites link popularity. You may ask why is link popularity important and why does my site need it? Good Question. And the answer is because search engines like Google put a lot of emphasis on inbound links that come into a web site. The anchor text that is used to point to that inbound web page should also match the optimized phrase for the page, but that's a different topic. Link building will over time get you to place better with the major search engines.

Link Popularity
Link building is a targeted way of building a web sites link popularity. You may ask why is link popularity important and why does my site need it? Good Question. And the answer is because search engines like Google put a lot of emphasis on inbound links that come into a web site. The anchor text that is used to point to that inbound web page should also match the optimized phrase for the page, but that's a different topic. Link building will over time get you to place better with the major search engines.
You can start your link building efforts by doing a search for your desired keyword or keyphrase on Google for example and contact some of the top results to see if they would be interested in exchanging links with your site. Have the code that you would like them to use to point to your web site ready to give to them when you contact them. Make sure that you have an area of your web site that is devoted to posting your relevant link exchanges. That's right you want to exchange links with sites that have relevancy to what they will be pointing to.
Building inbound links to your web site is very powerful and if done correctly it will:
Increase web traffic to your site
Save you advertising money and time
Make you more of an authority on your subject matter
Increase your visibility in the search engines
Building Backlinks Is Definitely The Key If You'd Like Regular Site Visitors

Re: Best looking social networking site?
- Hi Kevin
[quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08]
For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks.
Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important.
btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.
