Garrett French, Search Engine Land | 5/27/09

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

Relevance (R) is the measurement of a page’s relevance to your keywords, Value (V) is an approximation of the amount of link juice a page is capable of directing to yours and Potential (P) is the likelihood that a particular link prospect will actually “convert” into a link to your site.

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. Link Building from A to Z
    Wiep Knol, SEOmoz | 5/7/09
  2. Link Building Evaluation Guide
