We have all seen statistics for different information. These statistics will help people to understand certain information in a clearly defined numerical order. For instance you will find statistics about the number of voters in one state. You can also find statistics on the employed section of a city. There is also different surveys which have taken place to provide smoking statistics.

These statistics while they will not show a complete picture will provide data they is needed for various reasons. These reasons may have to do with the aspects of health and employment in a state. The amount of tax payer’s money which is needed to support no smoking programs could be given in smoking statistics.

With all of these different sources of information there is one fact that you will need to keep remembering. This fact is that information can change from one moment to the next. Due to this reason when you are looking for smoking statistics which are current you should access data which has been gathered within the last 3 to 6 months.

As there is a time period between the smoking statistics being complied and your actually reading them the information that you have accessed may be quite out of date. You should perhaps look at some generalized smoking statistics for the last five years just to get an idea of how the trends in smoking can change from one month to the next.

Having found this pattern you can check with census data, medical data and also data that is given by the Heart and Lung Association. For the most part you will find that the information that is given from these places is accurate. The information that you are looking for will be arranged in various formats according to what is considered as being the most important.

In one type of smoking statistics data you could be given the statistics based on different years. This will allow you to see if there was an increase or a decrease of smoking and smoking related health problems at certain years and varying times of the year.

You can also find smoking statistics which state the mental condition of the people who have undergone this survey. When you look at these many different statistics the one fact that you will get to know is that there are no barriers to be found with smoking. You will find from smoking statistics is that men and women of all ages and health conditions see smoking as a vital part of their life.

OK, this is a immersive concept and I need to emphasise it’s not an exact science. But here is what I have learned in my research at the Backlinks clinic:

Authority – basics

The more authority your site has the higher you will rank on Google. Authority means that people trust you and your information. The great news is that authorities trusted by people are also trusted by Google. A great example is the .edu and .gov domain extensions. These domains imply they are authoratitive sources of information and it’s a proven fact that in the eyes of Google backlinks from these domains to your web pages will send authority to your web pages. Another shining example is Wikipedia as the web pages here are mostly authored by by tribes of people as opposed to a single source.

So it follows that authority is very heavily influenced by the source of your backlinks and if authoritative content link to your site then you inherit their authority and as far as Google is concerned you become more authoritative and so the trust in your content by Google goes up.

How Google pronounces what is and isn’t authoritative is kept secret for good reason and falls in line with Google’s philosophy of “Do no evil”. The last thing the web needs is an individual or a group exploiting the mechanisms that Google employs in its efforts to try and regulate probably the most significant technological development of this period in history.

How not to get Backlinks

And on this thought it’s worth my while stating some underhand sources and practices of building backlinks that Google not only dislikes but appears to be acting to ‘’categorize as illegitimate authorities. In no particular order of severity, the prime offenders are:

• Paid backlinks – web sites where people buy and sell backlinks
• Comment spam – entries that contain links on web pages that are just not related to the main theme.
• Low quality and *duplicate content – ‘scraped’ or copied
• Rapid backlink growth – there are a large selection of ways that this is achievable, Google isn’t dumb. Any sudden rise in the amount of backlinks is going to register on Google’s radar, specifically if it’s a recently registered domain.
• Backlinks from bad reputation web pages – these are particularly nasty as you are guilty by association – need I say more.

*There is another factor where I may be on dodgy ground, but key media properties appear to get a lot of authority and I have definitely seen significant numbers of the same article over and over again on different web sites with no penalties, I am still monitoring this, only as a portion of of the results I am seeing defy the normal behaviors I usually expect to see. More on this is in a future post….
