    Why do people link to other sites?

    1. Because the content is very interesting

      When people find very informative or interesting content they are more likely to link to it to benefit their readers.

    2. To get a back link

      Many people link to other sites in order to get the chance of getting a backlink from the site they linked to. A webmaster can link to a site then notify the webmaster of the other site hoping to get a backlink.

    3. Dissatisfied customers link back

      Dissatisfied and unhappy customers can link back to sites that gave them poor service for the sake of bad mouthing the site. Those people usually write complains in their blogs then link to the website they are talking about.

    4. They believe its an authoritative website

      Authoritative websites usually get more backlinks than other sites. People usually link to sites when they believe they contain factual and authoritative information.

    5. Link to a news source

      Websites that publish news usually link to news sources. Sometimes webmasters link to sites that publish the news even if they weren’t the original news publishers. It all depends on which news source the webmaster will encounter first.

    6. To give their audience more information

      Sometimes webmasters link to sites that can give their audience more information about something. Instead of copying the whole thing webmasters provide links to sites that contain more information.

    7. The content supports their point of view

      People usually link to sites that support their points of view. When a person writes about a controversial topic then finds someone else writing about it he might link to that person’s site to get more support and to sound more authentic. (See Why Amp pages are good for your site?)

    8. They are reputable sites

      Some webmasters only link to reputable websites because they fear losing some of their page rank or getting a penalty if they linked to an unknown sites. Some search engines like Google put penalties for sites that link to bad neighbors.

    9. It has a useful tool

      People link to sites that have useful online tools. For example a tool that can determine site speed or assess the number of back links is very likely to get links from other sites if it was useful.

    10. For SEO reasons

      Some Webmasters believe that linking to good sites and providing references can help them with SEO (Search engine optimization). (See Why is SEO important to a business?)

    11. To provide a refrence

      People can link to sites in case they want to include a reference in their posts. People who copy facts that are new to them from other sites are more likely to link to them for referencing purposes.

    12. Because they are not sure about the topic

      When people are not 100% sure about the topic they are writing about they might link to other sites that contain proven facts to back their writing.
