Here's the basic factors of a Link Profile (http://www.reliable-seo.com/knowledge-base/seo_strategy/basics_of_a_link_profile.html)


One way links v Reciprocal links; these are 2 types of back links pointing to your site. It is wise to keep ones reciprocal links to a minimum and have a higher ratio of One Way Back Links to Reciprocals.

Back Link Relevance; the main considerations here are the relevance of the website – the page name (Title) --- and the actual link text itself. Try to maintain a strong relevance throughout where possible.

Back Link Quality; The old adage is as true as ever and it’s Quality over Quantity. Don’t spend time adding your site to every directory on the planet or marketing your articles to EVERY repository you can get your pixels on.

Bad Neighborhoods; avoid involving with sites that seem - less than reputable. Not to start over-doing old adages, but if you lie down with dogs…..

Link Age; If you’re utilizing viral endeavors or an article marketing program, then monitor the links as they will ultimately slip into supplemental/older results over time. New campaigns must be timed to ensure no ground is lost over time. It is, as with many things in web marketing, and ongoing endeavor.
