Newb Linking Question

    I just started the whole internet marketing stuff about a month ago, so I'm still pretty new to this whole thing.

    What I still don't get is link relevancy... I tried to read up on it, but didn't understand. Can someone please explain it to me in good ol English?

    I was ranked number 1 for a couple of keywords in Google a week ago, but I checked this morning, and I was out of the top 50. I'm thinking this could be due to "irrelevant links," since I joined a couple of link exchange programs and basically accepted every single trade.

    Theres some speculation about links being more powerful if the site the link is placed on is about the same topic as your site. As of right now it doesent seem very important but as Google improves itself it most likely will become very important.

    Hi!

    You got a Google penalty :( and yes it is for irrelevant link, linkechange with linkfarms, buy world clow links, etc etc etc :( sorry for that..

    The key
    Add more pages
    Make link with related websites
    Try to take of from these websites....

    My 2 cents,
    Regards,
    Jakomo

    If you have a dating site, look for links from dating, matrimonial or similar sites. That’s Link Relevancy.

    You should link exchange with a site having the same content or subject that you have on your own site, that link relevance. Also this will help in gaining certain link popularity and page rank in the future.

    Links is relevance if you have links to site that is related to your site.

    You should start removing all irrelevant links to and from your site.
    As what they've said, link only to relevant sites. Improve your site overall site (content, layout, etc) to encourage backlings. :)

    Okay cool, thanks guys.

    So if my site is about magic tricks, should I focus singularly on magic tricks, will anything in the arts and hobbies category be considered relevant?
