Getting links to your website from others is a very important component in accelerating search engine rankings - not to mention, a key strategy of search engine optimization.

SEOMoz ranks top pages and top domains, recently releasing an updated list of the 500 most popular pages and domains in terms of link popularity...rankings are done in order of linking root domains, not the number of links themselves - getting a set of root domains (i.e. http://www.seo-advantage.com/) is much harder versus getting a lot of links to specific pages on one site.

According to randfish at SEOMoz, this ranking method is "a metric that we've found incredibly valuable, both for identifying broad popularity as well as filtering spam."

An interesting fact that will find with the rankings is the distribution of inbound links - the top domains have the majority of links, which explains why the top 10 hardly fluctuate. Google, which is #1 on the domain, has over 1.5 million links - Twitter.com on the other hand, rising 11 positions to the #46 spot, has just under 135,000 links.

We urge you to take a few minutes and glance through the top domain and top page lists and see some of the interesting trends taking place.
