How to get backlinks that put your website into the right context

The effect of co-citation is often overlooked by search engine optimizers. The websites that are also linked by websites that link to your site can influence the position of your web pages on Google’s search results.

Does Google put your website into the right context?

Here’s an example: web sites 1, 2, 3 and 4 all link to the web sites A, B, C and D. Although A, B, C and D don’t link to each other, search engines think that A, B, C and D are related to each other because the same web sites link to them:

Websites can be related without a direct relationship

If A, B, C and D are all linked from 1, 2, 3 and 4 then they might be related to one another, even though they don’t directly link to each other. If A, B, C and D are all linked by many other websites, they have a strong relationship. The more sites link to A, B, C and D, the stronger the relationship.

If your web site is web site A, you should make sure that web sites B, C and D are related to your site.

Google might think that your site is about gambling

Suppose you have a web site selling shoes. If the link to your website is on a website that mainly links to gambling sites then search engines might think that your web site is related to gambling.

Search engines look at the linking pages and they check which other sites are linked by the same site. If the other linked pages are gambling sites then it’s logical that your website will be seen in a “gambling” context.

In that case, it might be difficult to get high rankings for “shoe shop” related keywords.

How to benefit from this system

If the other links on the websites that link to your site are related to the topic of your site, then your website will be seen in the right context. It will be much easier to get high rankins that are related to your topic then.
