Link Value

What is link value? Perceptible link value is allocated to your website by other sites based upon your site's overall appeal.

Other websites gain a handle on the approximate value of your website (usually from first appearances). If you've painstakingly constructed your website to be fully functional and theme relevant, it will essentially be comprised of rich linkable content that compels patrons to visit again and again. This is one of the fundamental reasons that other websites may find link value in your site.

Some websites may also be motivated to award link value to your site when they notice the value that you offer to your viewers.

Here are some key points to consider:
  • Is your site user friendly?
  • Does your site provide complementary material, products and/or services?
  • How can those items benefit your visitors?
  • Does your site have linkable content?
  • Are your services personalized?
Initially, outside parties may wish to reciprocate links with your website; which is thoughtful, but not the most beneficial outcome. When other websites find your site to be an important resource, the idea is that they will view your link as a valuable asset to their website. And, if you've addressed all of the points above, you may just be fortunate enough to gain a one-way or inbound link to your site. In turn, quality link value can lead to increased link popularity and may improve overall search engine ranking results as well.
