brbrbrDoes placing links to related sites improve rankings?brbrAs google says that their motive is to provide better information to people, I think they give weightage to links to related sites as well.brbrFor example many pages in wikipedia have links to .gov or .edu sites like say 20 links per page. This is because wikipedia tries to provide more info to people. And the pages rank well.brbrHas this something to do with the .edu or .gov links on the pages? I know that wikipedia has many back links but I still wonder if the .edu or .gov links have something to do with it.brbr

A relevant link would more strongly influence ranking potential of your site as compared to a non-relevant link. Also with a non relevant link, the click through traffic to your site would also be less.

Ya if you get links from quality and related sites with the keywords you are targetting then it will defintely improve your rankings.
