I often get asked about the easiest ways to start building links to your website.  This is a fundamental aspect of search engine optimisation and one that should never be underestimated, it’s key for you to start ranking highly on your targeted keywords.

Often I see people build websites, get excited, and then find out that when they install Google analytics they’re getting no traffic.  This is pretty obvious really, without people knowing about your site then they’re not going to link to it nor is Google likely to index/rank much of the content.

Link building is important to build your rankings in the search engines but it’s also important that you don’t get carried away too quickly.  We should always build links naturally, that’s to say that 22k new backlinks in a month is clearly not natural.  A small trickle of backlinks is what you want, slowly but surely.  It is easy to get carried away when you find potential linking partners and sign 50 up in the first day, just go steady and spread them out – it’s worth the wait in the long run.

So what are the Top 10 link building strategies? More >
