Google: Why Websites Rank High - Checking Your Backlinks continued

(Page 4 of 4 )

To check your backlink quality and quantity, you can use this tool:  http://www.php-developer.org/backlinkcount/checkyourlinkpopularity.php

For example, say you are interested in knowing the quantity and quality of backlinks pointing ONLY to SEO Chat's home page. You will need to enter it as follows:

Make sure you select "Only to this specific URL" if you need to know about the links pointing only to the home page or to a specific URL.

The tool provides the following estimated statistics:

LINK POPULARITY REPORT FOR http://www.seochat.com

ESTIMATED TOTAL BACKLINKS FROM UNIQUE DOMAINS POINTING TO THAT SPECIFIC URL ONLY: 87465
 
ESTIMATED TOTAL BACKLINKS FROM UNIQUE DOMAINS IN UNIQUE CLASS IP POINTING TO THAT SPECIFIC URL ONLY: 57399
 
LINK RELEVANCE REPORT FOR http://www.seochat.com
 
seo = 15. Percent occurrence: 3%
google = 11. Percent occurrence: 3%
linux = 10. Percent occurrence: 2%
search = 9. Percent occurrence: 2%
devices = 7. Percent occurrence: 2%
engine = 6. Percent occurrence: 1%
security = 5. Percent occurrence: 1%

Here is a short explanation of the results. The first number, 87465, is the estimated number of backlinks coming from unique domains, but this line does NOT check whether they are also coming from unique class C IP addresses.

The second number, 57399, is the estimated number of backlinks coming from unique domains, and also from unique class C IP addresses. Note that this quantity is less than the previous result, since domains using the same class C IP addresses are filtered from the analysis.

Now for the link relevance statistics. This tool analyzes the title tag of the back linking pages, since it will tell us what the inbound link page is all about. The tool ranks "seo," "google" and "search" as among the top keywords found in the back linking pages' title tags.

This means that the backlinks are highly related to the topic and niche of SEO Chat, which also focuses on those keywords when ranking in Google.

If you analyzed your website using that tool, and the backlinking pages' keywords are not related to the topic of your current website keywords, then this mismatch means that your inbound links are not related to your website content and will not help much in ranking your site. Consider partnering with trusted, related and authoritative websites in your selected niche.
