Busby SEO Test : Link Popularity and Back Link

Busby SEO Test : Link Popularity

The third aspect (and the last regarding link popularity) is to check
how many sites link to my competitor site (the number of back links). And
I do this using the command:

links:www.competitorsite.com
in Yahoo Search box.

I think it’s obviously that a lot of links indicates a powerful site, while
a poor optimized site will be recognized the low number of links.

The way I give points for our equation is the following:

-0 points for sites with less than 5 back links

-1 point for sites with 5-19 back links

-2 points for site with 20 – 49 back links

-4 points for sites with 50 – 99 back links

-6 points for sites with 100 – 199 back links

-10 points for sites with 200 – 499 back links

-15 points for sites with 500 – 1000 back links

-20 points for sites with 1000+ back links
