Link Popularity – Best Practices?
I love when people ask me….Why is the reasoning behind when I check for my link popularity I can get different results?
For example, if we check (at Google):
1. By just putting the URL in quotes, such as: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22freshmenz.com%22&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=a1aa68cf1cc52832
2. By using the link: operand, such as: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=link%3Afreshmenz.com&aq=f&aqi=&oq=link%3Afreshmenz.com&fp=9733483af0cc9d26
3. By using a 3rd party site to check, such as: http://www.popuri.us/
