G00gle For Idiots, Simple Concepts. Links and Authority
While speaking to people in the industry who don't have any, or much of any, clue about the engines and the SEO game, I've come up with several easy to understand analogies that kind of give some insight, or an easier to comprehend template for the basics. I figured I'd share them with you cause they are first off kinda funny, and secondly they really make sense.
So since its long enough as it is, I'll cut to the chase and get to it. This one is about linking, and about authoritative links or websites and how important they can be.
Quote:
Google goes to this party, its a huge party, there is about 10,000 sites at it. Its a Big Tittie party, and ALL the big tit websites were invited, about 10k of them actually showed up. The Big Google starts mingling around, checkin sites out, and as inquisitive as it is, starts asking around the party "Who's got all the 'Big Titties'?, Where's all the big titties?"
Several guys (sites/links) around them start mumbling 'www.bigtits.com' has some titties, google doesnt really know most these guys, but it keeps it close in its head and continues browsing through the sites, asking about big titties.
The google runs into a site it knows, oh yeah, they've partied with him a few times over the years, they go way back, and he tells google that 'www.bigtits.com' has all the big titties too. And woah, haha, look theres so-and-so.com also talkin about 'www.bigtits.com' they also go way back, years back, no question where to find the big titties now.
Google heard lots of people tell it/them were too find the titties, they heard from about 400-500 of them people (sites/links) saying that bigtits.com had the goods, and of that ammount, some old time friends and respected sites CONFIRMED what the lesser known dudes told them, this is what anchors home the fact and convinces them without question it belongs.

Now this gives a great "introductory" understanding of how google watches and values links and gives some sites authoritative (more important) link power. A solid link on a authoritative website will slam up your rankings, and GIVE VALUE to your weaker links, like it validates and confirms what the lesser known, lesser weighted links are telling it also.
If it all makes sense to you its pretty simple to start building a strategy to achieve some longterm rankings that can send traffic for years.
All you need to do is get into that party, and bring a couple hundred of your own friends (links) with you. :thumbsup |
