Link Popularity Nearly every major search engine is now using link popularity or link analysis as part of their ranking algorithms. Search engines can use link analysis as a useful tool to weed out those individuals who spam search engines by manipulating keywords on their pages.

Individuals can improve link popularity by recruiting webmasters to link their websites to yours that have the same themes.
