Link is the ranking factor for website

[curaqua]

Links are an important factor for ranking a website. Many SEOs focus only on content and on SEO sites and neglected links and say, "We know everything about links." But maybe they are big mistake

Linking is very important because Google has confirmed that the links are the number one ranking factor, along with great content. Ranking without link is really very difficult, Google is interested in more links than anything.

I can say that a website can not rank without link.

Why?

- Because link is Google's # 1 ranking factor
- Because the link is WEB
- Because link pointing to great content (well worth ranking)
- Because through the links that Google discovered your site ...


In March 2016, in a conversation with Google, Andrey Lipattsev, a senior search strategy strategist at Google Development, said the first two ranking factors were links and content.

Note that these factors are not "proof" of what search engines use to rank websites, but simply show the characteristics of web pages that tend to rank higher.

Don,t think links importance are still equal as it was before, now a days Google approaches only quality websites which satisfy user experiences.

There is no doubt good quality inbound links are one if the main factors, when it comes to Google Ranking. But it is not the only one. Many factors play here. That is why it is hard to keep on the first positions.

Yes, the link is the important factor to gain DA and rank higher. But only quality links affect these things. If you have quality backlinks then it is best for your website other low-quality links, unnatural links are not countable and give bad impact.

Link building is the only way to improve search engine ranking and to improve overall traffic. Pay per click in search engine advertising, the advertiser would typically bid on a keyword so the PPC rate changes.
