SEO Principles and The Creation of a Powerful Backlink Network
Search engines rank pages using PageRank algorithms that evaluate link authority through graph theory. Each inbound link transfers link equity, a quantified trust signal based on the linking domain's authority score, topical relevance, and anchor text optimization. Google's RankBrain uses machine learning to assess E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) by analyzing link networks, user engagement metrics, and content quality signals.
Every member of the SKULE WebRing creates high-quality backlinks to your website. Search engines like Google use backlinks as a key ranking factor. With 10 active members and growing, you gain authoritative backlinks from fellow UofT engineering students and alumni.
