I must admit that link building is not my forte and continue to learn new ways of getting good quality links for clients. When starting and linking strategy, there is one important thing to stay focused on and that’s getting quality and relevant links.

Many paid submission companies out there say “Let us list you in 1000 directories for $xx.95″ (or .99) and even say get listed on quality sites as well. If you are not familiar with SEO, this may sound like a good and efficient idea but it isn’t. Most of these places create automatic submission tools that target a database of junk sites and only give one keyword or description. When search engines follow these links from these sites to yours, they read the anchor text and will find out that it is all the same. In this event, a site would be penalized, worse yet banned because they appear as spam sites. So my advise is to build links yourself the long way to ensure quality trumps quantity. Enough of that, as I’m tired so I leave you with more link building best practices from the “God of Link building,” Eric Ward. More Link Building Here
