Importance of website authority

May 07.2013

According to me authority of a Web site is important because it is often used to determine the weight given to links to your Web site. A link from a large Web site is better than a link from a small new one, and a link from the main page of a Web site may help you more than a link from a back page of that Web site.

@frankdevineMay 08.2013 — Establishing your website authority within your niche has many advantages.

1) Authority websites are trusted more by users

There is a lot of information on the internet however there is no standard method to validate the information found on a site. Users tend to trust the information found on authority websites and often turn to them in order to find information on specific topics.

2) Authority websites are also trusted more by search engines

One of the biggest benefits of establishing website authority is because search engines like Google favour authority sites in search results. Search engine trust the information and consider it to be of high value. As a result authority websites tend to rank favorably on search engines above other results.

3) Branding

If your company’s website establishes itself as an authority within its field, it will have a positive impact on how your company’s brand is perceived by other users and businesses. On of the main reasons why it is common for company websites to also offer a range of information and resources on topics related to the industry it operates in. Quality content covering topics related to your industry is the foundation for establishing website authority.

4) Stability

Although search engine ranking can fluctuate, search engine traffic is more stable than traffic from other sources such as banner marketing, pay per click or even social media. Websites with high authority will continue to receive traffic from search engines for many years to come as they are considered trustworthy sources of information by search engines.

5) Viral effect on link building and promotion

Authority websites are often quoted and referenced by others. Although it can take time to establish website authority, there is a viral effect on promotion of your business and back links further. Authority websites attract more and more inbound links from other topical or industry related sites. As long as content is added on a regular basis, the website will continue to maintain its authority.

6) Increase in Customer loyalty

Visitor loyalty is key to the long term success of your company. Authority websites provide users with valuable information. Users tend to revisit the site again in future as opposed to searching again for sites that offer information on a particular topic.
