In the process of link building, quality is more important than quantity.  It is important to choose quality sites to link to yours.  Find web sites that have some relevance to your site, business or products.  For example if you sell insurance, a link from an insurance information site would benefit your business more than just a link on a general “catch all” link site.

Probably the most important benefit of having a high number of quality links to your site is the effect it has on the search engine rankings.  Most of the major search engines use “link popularity” as a main factor in determining where your site should rank.  If your site has a lot of high quality sites linking to it, the search engines will think it is a popular site and give it a high page rank.  Building quality and relevant links has two advantages; you gain visitors from the linking site and you also boost your page rank with the search engines.

A complete link-building program involves generating links to your site from a variety of sources.  This includes directories, social networking sites, blogs, even writing articles.  Directories are one of the most comprehensive ways to generate incoming links.  They are designed to promote links and are sometimes fee based.  Social networks and blogs have become a great way to generate incoming links to your web site.  It does take patients and skill, however, to utilize blogs and social networks to generate links; it may be best to leave this to a professional SEO company to do for you.

Besides social networks, blogs and directories, article sites are another way to create incoming links to your site.  Article sites usually only allow links in the resource box of your articles, not in the text of the article itself.  The links generated here are permanent links, unlike directories and blogs where links might be deleted.  Article sites rarely delete articles.  Article writing also makes you the “expert” on the subject you are writing about, making it more likely that people will want to visit your site.  Article submission can be a tedious process, best left to the professional SEO company.

A complete link building program will benefit your page rank with the search engines, establish you as the expert in your field and increase your page visitors and thus your chances of increased revenues.
