Link popularity and page rank are two things that you will get to know really well. But most people tend to confuse link popularity with page rank. Though they may seem similar, in fact they are completely different. Link popularity measures how popular your website is and how many links are directed to it. Also link popularity measures the quality of the sites that are directed to your own website. Page rank is actually a Google term ranging from 1 to 10 and is used to classify a website based on description, link popularity and keywords. So in other words link popularity measures quality where page rank measures quantity.

Link popularity is one of the most important things in your online presence. If nobody knows about your website, it is as if it doesn't exist. You could make your website popular through pop ups and campaigns on websites with a bad reputation, but that is when quality control could become a problem, and this is when link popularity is determined.

Link popularity can be earned through having the right keywords on your website, good reputation and link exchange. Link exchange can make your website a lot more popular with the search engines. This in turn means more traffic for your website witch in fact is what we want.

Also a good way of getting some extra link popularity is to have good content on your website. Do you have interesting information on your website? You should make sure you have enough interesting material for your visitors, sometimes you might get linked by viewers on other websites, or maybe a webmaster might find your website interesting and ask to use some of your content of your site's content and all links in place, this adds to your link popularity.

If your website sells and gives information on "books" for example, when you type in books on a search engine and your webpage isn't in the first ten then you know your link is not optimized. Look at the other websites that are in the top. Using some browsers you will be able to view the page source of such websites. Use your competitor's website to your advantage and see how you compare to it. See how many links you have on your website and how many websites are targeted to yours. All these important factors can lead you to greater link popularity

Also keep in mind that keyword oriented articles and reviews can bring in that all important traffic to your website, and the best thing about this is that you don't have to do much of anything. Good luck with promoting your website.
