The most important backlink factors

A link is not just any link – there are a lot of different factors, which influence your link profile and you should pay attention to them, so that you are not penalised by the Google Penguin update. Basically there are two things that are important for your domain: The domain popularity and the trust, which emanates from your backlink profile. This can also be described with quantity and quality: On one hand, it is naturally important that as many websites as possible show a link to your site. On the other hand, the quality of the back link and the sites giving the links is also decisive. In order to rate a link profile, the following fundamental key data are important:

QUANTITY OF THE LINKS
A decisive factor is the quantity of the different backlinks which are shown on your site.
Domains
The number of different domains with links to your site is also important. The more domains there are, the better it is.
IP-Addresses
How many different IP-addresses (e.g. 215.19.25.178) of the domains with links to your site are there in total? What is imperative here as well: There should be as many different IP-addresses as possible that refer to your website.
Class C
How many different IP-addresses (e.g. 215.19.25.178) of the domains with links to your site are there in total? What is imperative here as well: There should be as many different IP-addresses as possible that refer to your website.
Text Links
Text links are the most usual form of linking. Here a word or a group of words is simply supplied with an HTML link. This type of backlink is the simplest one to register for Googlebot.
Image Links
Image data can be linked as well. Often this is the case of an advertising banner or teaser, but also photos and illustrations are often linked.
DoFollow & NoFollow
Depending on which properties the links have been provided with, we then speak of bequeathing the so-called “Link juice” of the website giving the link (rel = “dofollow” or not (rel = “nofollow”).

As you can see, there are many different influencing factors, which characterise your link profile. The right mix of these factors is decisive – thus a balanced ratio of quantity and quality of your backlinks. Google has become increasingly better at rating the link profile of websites by using various algorithm updates and also to display its ranking of search results. If you execute a search engine optimisation, beside the content of the site, it is just as decisive how this website is linked on the Internet. The free backlink checker helps you to identify the sources of the links and to find out whether your website must be linked better. For beside your own site, you can of course analyse the sites of competitors at no cost. Thus you will possibly find new link sources quickly, which you can also use for your domain and, as such, enhance your Google ranking.

Backlinks as a Google ranking factor

One of the first factors, which was decisive for the ranking of a website in the Google search results are the backlinks. While in the past only so many links as necessary had to be created, today the relevance and the trust of the backlink sources are first and foremost. External link referrals still belong to one of the most important ranking factors at all. Although it is assumed that little by little Google is reducing the importance of backlinks as influencing factor for the ranking, however presently the right link profile is the decisive fundament for a good position in the search results in most cases. As well-done as the onpage optimisation of a website can be – if good, relevant and strong backlinks are missing, then you will not reach a good ranking with Google in most cases. With our backlink tool for instance, you can analyse quickly and check which websites are way at the top due to a specific keyword and which type of link shows these sites. The right mix of anchor text, age as well as position of the link (e.g. flow text, footer or sidebar) and naturally the number of different sources is an important signal for Google regarding the ranking. The more trustworthy and of better quality the site giving the link is, the more this link also helps to maintain or improve your position in the search results.

Analyse and optimise your backlinks

There is one thing you can be sure of: The Google Penguin update will be developed further and the search is then in a better position to find and rate external links. If your website mainly has NoFollow links and too few different IP-addresses, however a lot of links, this could be a sign for Google that artificial link building is at work here – thus acute danger of a penalty arises. It is important to spread your backlinks in a clean manner: Many domains alone are not enough. The links should also come from as many different IP-addresses and subnets as possible – this means: If most of your link sources are located at the same host, then they often have a similar IP address and the same class C within the address – if this is often the case, once again the danger of being penalised exists. It is better when as many different sources as possible show links to your site. For example, if the domains are spread over various hosting providers, then they do not only have different IP-addresses, but also different classes C, then your backlink profile already appears as much more natural. And this is exactly what you can immediately find out with the free backlink checker.
