I’ve just read a great article on Wiep Knol’s site, in which he combined opinions of 17 link building professionals who have expressed their thoughts on factors that determine the value of a link. Every factor has been judged on a 1-5 scale, 1 being “no influence” and 5 being “very strong influence”. Each factor is assigned a final mark that represents the average from marks given by all participants. The article is abundant with explanations and comments, but most importantly it is a mixture of opinions by so many established link building experts, which should be an interesting read for anyone involved with SEO and link building. Oh, and finally, everyone seems to agree that Alexa rank is not important, or very remotely important at best, as a link value factor.
