How Important Are Inbound Links?
Inbound Links:
Google does not release its ranking algorithms, but they often drop hints pointing to inbound links as the greatest factor.
Inbound links, which Google considers to be the “democratic” value of the internet, each count as a “vote” for your web site. The more “votes” your site has, the higher its PageRank value. The PageRank values of the sites that “vote” for your own by linking to it are also considered. Web Sites should make it a priority to increase the number and quality of incoming links.
