Don’t Be Afraid Of Link Building
April 26th, 2010 by Nick
Link building is one search engine optimisation technique which can be hugely useful for many businesses and is often required in an SEO campaign. Link building is also an SEO method which is greatly feared. A large number of business owners know link building is important but don’t know what kind of links they should be building, how many of these links they need and the best way to build them.
Link building can be confusing and mistakes in link building can have a huge impact on your search engine optimisation campaign. However, this doesn’t mean you should just ignore building links and that you should accept your fear of the link building process. Instead, you must learn about ethical and productive link building and work with professional SEO specialists if it still does not become clear.
Quality is what always should be remembered when creating links to your website. If you see content online stating it is the number of links to your website which is of greatest importance, this simply isn’t true. You need to have relevant links to your site from other respectable websites which achieve high rankings in the search results. The more links you have of this kind, the better. Stating that it is the number of links you have to your site which is of most importance is not accurate.
If you use a link building scheme to establish thousands of links to your website you may think you are helping to get your website noticed and visited but in fact you will be damaging your reputation and potential. Links from low quality and irrelevant websites make the search engines and potential visitors view your business in a poor light. You become associated with spam websites and this does not make the search engines want to rank you highly and will not encourage your target audience to view your business as valuable and of high quality.
You must only establish links to your business from high quality websites and must create as many links like this as you can by using ethical methods. The search engines look out for the use of unethical SEO techniques and punish businesses found to be using them.
Link building is a long process and is time consuming but is extremely worthwhile. Don’t fear link building but begin your link building development so you can work alongside your SEO specialists in creating useful and appropriate sources of traffic to your website.

How true this post is. I see clients all the time that have already tried mass submission strategies and they FAIL. In fact Google and other search engines are aware of these tactics and snadbox (penalize by banning your site for a time) any site that seems to be practicing this from their own IP OR even excessive linking form other sources.
What DOES work are high PR links done over time – to your index page AND deeper linking into your sites pages, to good quality sites SLOWLY at first then gradual speeding up of this process.
Still it takes time, patience AND constant linking to achieve this result you want -there ARE ethical link building companies that exist, but make sure they only use high quality linking sources and that they do NOT spam links all over the internet.
