It means a website with more backlinks or votes will always rank high? NO!

Consider Quality over Quantity while creating Backlink

Here comes the point what Google likes in your backlink. It is keenly observed while creating a backlink the quality is mostly overlooked. Because internet marketers start getting backlinks from everywhere. For example, if someone is going to get a link from forbes.com is way more effective than a backlink created from a site like www.outreachbee.com

Google make their algorithm smarter than what it was in past. Google knows that its way hard to get a link from forbes.com than to get a link from a www.outreachbee.com. To get a link from forbes.com is hard because;

1. To get a turn to get a post on Forbes.com needs a way long patience.
   To fulfil the content creation guide line for forbes.com actually a big challenge
2. This clearly describes that Google likes the quality in content.

Google knows that the published content on forbes.com will be of high quality. The fact of the matter is, content publishing on sites like forbes.com can get you a high rank in your niche.

How much related is backlink?

Getting backlink from forbes.com is good at one scale. But to Google, it is also important how related is that link? If your business website is about some Search Engine Optimization and the backlink you created on forbes.com is nothing to do with SEO then it has least value. But if you linked your website from www.outreachbee.com it will be of more value in comparison because www.outreachbee.com is directly related to your niche.

Since Google gone smarter, it’s hard to betray him. If you get a link from high profile site instead of the related site, you cannot fool Google, instead of yourself.

Backlink from Authoritative websites

If you go one step above the relevance, there is a point to a website called authority. Domain authority is from the scale of 0 to 100. Sites like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, etc are the most authoritative sites in the web space having Domain Authority like 99 to 100. Getting high authority for a domain in web space is quite a tough game as this scale works like the logarithmic scale. Means, it’s way easier to go from 1 to 10 than to go from 10 to 20.

The last and most important factor considered by Google while analyzing backlinks of your website is Domain Authority of the website. To check Domain Authority of a website, Google “Open Site Explorer” and you will be directed to some sites where you can get to know the Domain Authority of any site. Just copy/paste or type the URL and you will find the Domain authority of your desired website.

Now as you are generating more backlinks considering their quality over quantity, relevance and from authoritative websites you will see a tremendous change in your website ranking.
