It is the method to generate links back to your site as Google’s algorithm computes how many websites link to your website. The value of those back links is very important and each individual link is taken into consideration along with what those links say.  When building links, it is done by linking one site to another through community participation, directory submissions, article submission marketing and commenting on high quality blogs.

Build links by getting other web site owners to link back to their sites through direct exchange. You can write to the owner of the site you want to exchange links with stating your purpose. He or she may check out your site thoroughly to see if your site is acceptable enough to link back to. 

Why is link building important?

Link building is important because it gets more people to see your site. They might be interested to click on your link while reading other people’s site that you linked with.  Link building requires action, you have to exert extra effort to create massive back links to let the search engine and other people find your site.

To work on link building, it is taking a proactive approach on getting your site seen by visitors and search engines. Link building is important to drive traffic to your site. It is important to note that no matter how great of a site you have, it will be pointless and useless if no one visits it because of lack of traffic.

Google’s pagerank is also another factor you should look into. Even though that Google’s algorithms are kept secret, it has been observed that getting a link from a higher ranking site will improve the ranking of the site being linked to.

In link building, quality is important than quantity. Linking to many less quality sites is useless. Getting links from several high-quality sites does make a difference. The more quality sites linking to a page, the better ranking your site can achieve!
