Measuring the quality & SEO effectiveness of Inbound Links

Quality of Inbound Links depends on many factors but still a lot of SEO guys especially newbies measure the quality and SEO effectiveness of inbound links using the wrong methods and parameters.

Here are 8 parameters which should be considered while measuring the quality and effectiveness of inbound links.

  1. Keywords as anchor text - This is one of the most important factor for better search engine ranking. The proper use of keyword and its variations as the anchor text of the backlink provides the higher search engine credibility.
  2. Link from an authority website - A website which links to you, if has a high authority score then your backlink will also be considered as authentic. Read more about domain authority here http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority
  3. Relevancy with the webpage where the backlink is put - All SEO guys always says "relevancy matters a lot", always try to put the links only on the webpages having content relevant to your website/webpage.

  4. Followed or No-Followed - check for the rel nofollow attribute within the anchor tag, if present, it provides no value  in contributing to the search engine rankings.

  5. Traffic on the linking website - How many people read the website which links to you is another parameter to measure the quality of an inbound link. Because Google always says, create websites/content for users, not the search engines. If nobody is viewing the website linking to you, your link doesn't worth. 
  6. Depth of the content - Content is always king, links with high quality, in depth and original content around it are always better than just the links.

  7. No. of outbound links on the webpage - The no. of outbound links on the same page also matters, it should not be too much. 10-15 are enough.
  8. Page Rank of the linking page - better the page rank of a linking page, better the page rank of linked page will be and better it scores in terms of quality of content on it and ultimately the search engine rankings. Read more about page rank here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
