Loading ...The number of links you have to the web pages of your website is of great importance if you want your website to be ranked highly in the search results of the major search engines. Whilst it is quality not quantity that is regarded as the most significant factor when dealing with links, the number of links you have to your web pages should still be monitored. It is necessary to know the number of links you have to your website in order to compete effectively with your main competitors. If two websites both have a selection of high quality and relevant links, the website with the largest number of these links will likely be ranked higher in the search results.
With the numerous online tools currently available, it is fairly simple to monitor and keep track of details that are important in search engine optimisation and it is possible to find out how many links there are to your website quite quickly and simply too. If you visit Yahoo.com and enter the text “linkdomain:www.yoursitehere.com” you will be taken to the ‘Site Explorer’ service currently provided by Yahoo. When you are directed to this page, you will see that the number of web pages your website has and the number of links to these web pages is displayed. Not only this but details of all the links to your website will also be given so you can see exactly which websites are linking to your website and can assess the value of these links.
Once you know how many links your website has, where these links are coming from and the quality of these links, it is then time to carry out a little research into the number and quality of the links your main competitors have. This is to ensure that you are remaining competitive in terms of links in search engine optimisation.
If you carry out some simple search engine searches using keywords and search phrases pertaining to the business market you are in, you will be presented with the main competitors in your industry. You will then be aware of which companies you need to explore further to see why they are outperforming you or how you can remain in higher ranking positions than them. This is extremely important research that can help your website be ranked higher in the search results of the search engines as links are such a significant factor.
Once you have identified your main competitors, it is then time to return to Yahoo in order to explore the links these websites have and how they compare to the links to your website. This information can be extremely useful in helping your business to remain competitive through high quality inbound links.

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job!
