How Do I Build AUTHORITY?

Before April 24th, when penguin hit, I had a site that ranked for 100's of terms, #1.

Many of its long-tail terms it wasn't even trying to rank for.

This is what Authority means to me.

Is this teh definition of authority?

I guess I am wondering how to replicate this again on future sites

Is it from

1.) Content / pages that targets tons of keywords and is all interlinked?
2.) Links from very high PR sites?
3.) Very specific anchor text pointing back to the site?

I realize it may be all of these things, but what is the number one thing?

    This seems like a pretty weird question.

    You want to build authority for your users/customers,so you would become the nr 1. resource for the info you provide.

    If you want to build authority for google, get backlinks from high PR sites that rank well and are old etc.

    Post Penguin, I'd say content is most important and backlinking 2nd.

    For me good way to judge the authority of any website is enter the domain name in opensiteexplorer.org and it let you know domain and page authority right away.
