==Links, Search Engines, and Context==
Some of the things that modern search engines measure in relation to your website pages are the following:
1. keyword density/Frequency
2. The type and number of links pointing to your webpage. Keeping in mind the issue of a natural link profile mentioned above another thing that is important is to consider the page reputation of the link that is pointing to your webpage.
Here is are two articles on link reputation which is the reputation of the page that is linking to you: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/whats-your-link-reputation/ and http://www.evancarmichael.com/SEO/1279/Link-Reputation-and-Your-Website.html A key point in these articles is that Google and other search engines look at the context of the page linking to you. In other words, if a webpage having a very high Google PageRank (lots of websites linking to it) links to you it may not help you rank high for the search clams if the webpage focuses on zebras (text on page is regarding zebras and zebra related site link to that page). In addition, all other things remaining equal strong websites that are OLD websites carry more weight than new websites that link to you.
Recently, I ranked very high for an extremely competitive search. One of the things I did was create an excellent article and them I emailed or call the owners of the websites or webpages that were in www.dmoz.org for this topic and I got a high percentage of them to link to me. Since www.dmoz.org is highly regarded by the search engines, I believe this is definitely one of the factors that got me to rank high for this search term. I would also recommend contacting related websites that were in http://botw.org/ and get them to also link to your webpage since this website is also influential in regards to search engine rankings.
==Link Popularity Check==
I have found that a good and reliable way to see how many webpages link to your webpage relative to other pages is by using SEO Firefox which is a free program and you can get it here: http://www.seobook.com/4515-8-3-28.html
