go to google, type in "link:www.garagegames.com" and hit the google search button to find out.(without the quotes)
The "link:" allows you to search for pages that link to whatever URL is after the colon.
I know the results surprised me...

I can't say I am a guru on improving link popularity, but one thing I know is that the community can change this number (yes some additional news articles don't hurt), but linking to www.garagegames.com on your game websites and if you're posting on other sites and in relivant forums will effect how we come up in google.
Anyone besides me want to see GG get highest link popularity?
