Link building, while a very broad and vague term, usually describes anything you do to point hyperlinks back to your website from third party websites. These hyperlinks, or links for short, help to get traffic to your site, allow others to find your valuable site, create awareness for your website, adds credibility, and most importantly assists in having your site found by search engines such as Google. Search engines, through use of complicated algorithms, give better search result rankings to those that have more links to their website. Links equate to ‘value’ or ‘popularity status’ on the web. It should be noted that search engines also have other criteria that determine their results, but inbound links are often given the most weight.
Link building can be done by reciprocal links, being listed in e-zines, newsletters, link directories, article directories, search engines, profile creations on high page rank sites, forum profiles, press releases, social bookmarking etc. Link building is one of the best ways to make your site popular.
