This is your link building report for the website http://www.link-assistant.com. The report explains the most important link building terms and processes and gives a quick overview and a deeper analysis of your link building campaign to let you evaluate your progress.

Each link pointing to your website adds up to website's overall importance in the eyes of search engines and is bringing you a certain value called Link Value. There's a special formula to calculate Link Value associated with every link. Depending on characteristics of the link partner's page from which the link comes, this Value can be smaller or greater. Your website's rankings grow as soon as Values of each and every backlink sum up to form your website's overall Link Value.

Example: If you've got one link from site A with Link Value = 0.03, one link from site B with Link Value = 0.25 and one link from site C with Link Value = 0.09, the overall Link Value you're getting is 0.03 + 0.25 + 0.09 = 0.37

The easiest way to check if a link building campaign is working right is to make sure that Link Value is going up.

SEOs will hardly predict how big a good Link Value should be, as it's too individual and it's not the exact Link Value figure that matters. The important point in link building is the lasting growth of the Link Value you're getting over time. No matter what the exact digits are, if Link Value is going up, your website is getting more efficient. Look at the chart below to see how good your Link Value progresses.

Another quick and reliable way to estimate the progress of your link building is to check how many links you have and how well the quantity of links is growing. Your website's search engine positions also depend on the total number of links you have. Check the dynamics of your links growth and see how you improved.

It was already mentioned that different links bring different link value, depending on the qualities of the exact link partner's webpage from which the link stands. You're getting the best Link Value through links from the 10 webpages listed below.

Google uses a system called Page Rank to determine the usefulness of a website. Your site's PageRank (ranging from 0 to 10) is one of the factors that improve your rankings in search engines' results, and it hugely depends on the number of links you have. The more links you have from higher PageRank pages, the greater your own website's PageRank and the more important your pages look to Google.

These partners' pages linking to you have the highest PageRank:

While we're concentrating on the powerful SEO effect of link building, one mustn't forget the direct profits inbound links are delivering to a website: that is, new visitors or traffic. The value used world-wide (or rather Web-wide) to evaluate a website's traffic is Alexa traffic rank. Alexa arranges websites judging by the amounts of traffic they're getting. The higher the website in the Alexa rating, the greater traffic flows it has. Quite obviously, a link from a traffic-rich website will send you a good portion of traffic as well.

Note: Please don't get confused. The smaller the Alexa Rank value, the greater traffic the website has. For example, the site www.example-1.com with the Alexa Rank = 500,283 obviously has many more visitors than www.example-2.com with the Alexa Rank = 3,300,283.

Take a look at the top 10 traffic-rich websites that have put links to you:
