How can I know if I have a quality backlink?


Quality Backlinks Do Make A Difference

The quality of a web page does not require lots of metrics or formulas to evaluate its value and worth. You can judge the quality of a backlink by answering four simple questions:
  • Does the page link to your site have good information or quality content that will interest the average visitor?
  • Is content well written and interesting?
  • Does the content have any relevance with what you do? 
  • Do you think the web page linking to your site will have any value to people who come to your site?
If you answered "yes" to the four questions listed above, the backlink from that page may be of value.

Remember that backlinks are likes votes and have the greatest influence in helping your pages to rank in Google's search results. INVEST IN HIGH QUALITY LINKS to build up their trust, popularity, and high rankings with Google and the search engines.
