Editor's Notes

  • We have to remember that links are just a proxy in the algorithms. They help to show Google how useful, trustworthy and popular a page or website is.
  • Links and citations are just a proxy for brand prominence within a market area.
  • Links help to convey WHERE you are, not just from the anchor text, but from the topics of the sites that link to you
  • Links help to convey WHAT YOU DO-again not just from the anchor text, but from the topics of the sites that link to you.
  • The best links are those that have the most potential to send qualified traffic to your website, customers to your door and calls to your phone.
