These links would have to be carefully picked so that their information matches a relevant query.  Thus an authority webpage would consist of specialized informative pages with relevant hyperlinks from many other authorities or experts in a particular topic.

Many of us believe that an authority site is one, which is picked upon by search engines as quality site, that is filled with pertinent content, which consists of relevant links and is seen as a trusted source of information and online profits. While these aspects are known qualities, a true definition points out that an authority site is one that engages its community with its qualities mentioned above namely relevant content and relevant hyperlinks from experts on a particular topic.  Current websites are ones that are Web 2.0 ready.

An authority website consists of a basic domain name and hundreds of sub domains on different but related topics. An authority site should serve as a well-defined and large market.
