In addition to the sheer number of the links,
the quality of the links is also important. The links to your website should be high quality links. As soon as it was clear that inbound links were extremely important to get high rankings on Google, webmasters tried to manipulate the number of links that pointed to their websites. They submitted their websites to thousands of FFA (free-for-all) websites and they created automated linking schemes to artificially increase the number of inbound links. For that reason, search engines improved the way they evaluated links.
Nowadays, it’s not enough just to have many inbound links. Symbiosis - Link Partner Manager® provides you with the tool to evaluate and effectively manage link applications, approving only the ones that will benefit you.
The more relevant websites that you have linking back to your website, the higher your search engine rankings will be. The idea behind this concept is simple: if many other websites link to your website then your website must be important.
