Your Guide to Everything in SEO

Optimizing only the WebPages is not enough for gaining high search engine ranks. In fact the search engines have designed a system in which the website rank is determined by its “Link Popularity” as well. This system was initiated by Google for the first time and now many other search engines including MSN and Yahoo are also following the same system. So to acquire the top ranking you should try to link to as many related and relevant sites as possible.
