Hi,

I am often confused of this, and have seen many debate on this particular topic on various forums and particularly linkedin.

Do the WEBSITES that I am getting BACKLINKS from really a matter of concern? I mean, seriously, do I need to check all these below listed things before getting a link?

1.Relevancy
2.Domain Age
3.Google PR
4.IP Location
5.Quality of Content
6.User Experience
7.No of daily visits
8.No of OBLs from the page where I get a link from
9.No of pages indexed


Because, I don't think we can get links from a website that fits all the above. I have seen many websites ranking for top key queries with low profile links. As I mentioned above, there were debates between people where someone says that 'only legitimate' links can get you top in the ranking while the opponent says that 'I can get you the top rank only with the low profile links. Not only that they even challenge the opponent!

My question is, do we really need to care about all these points when getting a link? Or any link(except porn) will do the trick?


Could you please help me? I am getting tons of websites that I need to finalize for link building every quarter. When I analyze each and every website, they lack in some of the above and I have to exclude them. I thought I was not good.


Thanks a ton!
