Editorial link

When deciding on site relevancy and quality search engines like to count links as a mark of this quality. An editorial link is a link that is earned. It is not a paid for link or part of a link farm, which will devalue a website. Some paid links are classed as quality links such as those from trusted directories and these will still get a vote as the editorial standards are still high in them.
