Hi, I've a petty confusing question. I saw many sites who don't have as many backlinks, but they rank high on search engines, not even rank but stay there as well. Where as sites with more backlinks, same keywords ranking very low. I'm confused that whats happening around? Any clue guys? Regards
Either the backlinks have been devalued for those sites on those searches, or Google thinks the page is more relevant based on factors other than off-page ones like links. Maybe user metrics have ruled the day.
If the website has low quality, according to search engines, they will rank very low, despite everything else. Seems like search engines are getting clever.
In Google ranking algorithm most important thing that matters is your websites structure and your sites content that can lead your site well in search engines. and Google don't show all your back links in search it only show your important links. lots of link to your site with no Relevant sites have less value while some or less link with High relevancy and quality can pay attention to increase your ranking...
unique content on the site, website age, authoritative backlinks make them stay on top if i am not wrong... Which is very hard....
Unique content helps a lot i didnt even submit my site to the search engine and within my first week i had over 1000 pages indexed by google. And all i do is forum commets for my off page seo so far i plan to do more.
Sounds like the backlinks to the lower ranking websites are poor quality. As Brandon says, 1 good link > 100 poor links.
Google values your backlinks. So if you have a lot of garbage backlinks (those that link to your site from several low-quality and copied content sites) google will punish you for it. In other words, your site value will decrease along with PR and also exposure via relevant search queries.
1. quality backlink are much better than quantity of backlink 2. the anchor text of the backlink are playing important roles too (eg. site with 100 backlink in anchor text "online games" might rank better in "online games" than site with 1000 backlink in anchor text "RPG games") 3. The onpage seo of the site affect the ranking too
