Features of a Quality Link Required feature of quality link

1. Anchor text. Text links preferably contains relevant anchor keyphrase in text.

2. Adjacent text. Plain text next to a link is valuable if relevant.

3. Domain or link popularity aka PageRank of site.The site overall should have a large number of external or backlinks

4. Link popularity or PageRank of pageIf you can obtain a link that is run-of-site across all pages this is most valuable.

5. Context of page.Links are more relevant if related links on a topic promoted on.

6. Run-of-site/run-of-section linkNumber of pages containing link.If you can obtain a link that is run-of-site across all pages this is most valuable since it provides many links.

7. Location of domain.UK sites (co.uk) are generally most valuable since will help boost position for UK local searches similarly for .in it boost position for India

8. Destination of backlink (Deeplinks)Links that link directly to a category or product page are most valuable since these have context.

9. Site authorityMany SEO commentators believe PageRank is unimportant compared to the authority of site.Authority is partially indicated by number of links to domain and links out – hub site.

Undesirable feature of link

1. Redirected links.These links use a redirection script possibly to an ad server.If there is a query string (?) or a script such as .pl, .php in the linking URL, then this is a sign of a redirect.

2. NoFollow. Links containing nofollow tags have no valueView Source or use SearchStatus – see below – to identify sites which use nofollow

2. Link exchange network. Filters applied if identified.

4. Image links.Text links are most effective. So if link requires a banner or button, a text link in keeping with guidelines above could be obtained. Alternatively use Alt text to describe site.

5. Directory links on pages with many sites listed.Most directories are simply created to make money through Google AdSense (Made for Adsense or MFA sites) or affiliates. Bad neighbourhoods.

6. Reciprocal linksMany directories operate through offering reciprocal links. This will not be possible for the main Euroffice site, although it may be possible in future as part of a separate blog site.Such sites will have to be rejected.

7. Temporary linksLink needs to be present for at least one year.
