Golden Rule in Link Building

by

Link development is not an easy task, esp. if you have too few friends with quality sites to ask inbound links from. But what do you think will make it easier for you to gain those coveted links that will make your site get a good search engine placement for better visibility?

This how Mike Grehan, author of the Search Engine Marketing book:

When you’re looking for links, take a brutally honest look at your own site. Make a list, check it twice. If you can’t list 10 good reasons someone would want to link to you, then ask who you built the site for and why.

    Absolutely… linking is tough.So the content has to be that good as there just too many websites out there.

    We were at some of these same sessions at SES and there were some excellent points made.

    We also like article marketing but we found that many marketers and website owners do not have the time to write and distribute their own articles. So we created a new article marketing and link building service called Internet Marketing Auto Pilot. We do everything - write articles with links to the client’s site, submit them to article directories and then post them to a blog all with text links pointing back to their site. Works out great.
