How many do you spend per week for link building?

    Link building is a serious thing when it comes to driving quality traffic to your sites. Therefore you need to spend a few hours every week for connecting web pages. I normally spend say about 8 hours a week for link building. Is it enough? Do you spend more time for link building?

    Find quality, niche-sites, post in forums, write good articles, and your PF will rise.

    Yes of course. I spend around 20 hours per week for one website for link building. You can increase back links for your website by doing all the off page activities daily.

    If you spend lots of time on Spam work so its useless. but you spend 3 to 4 hour daily but you do quality work, you will get benefit from 4 hour work instead of spending 10 hours on daily basis.

    Instead of spending hours to get links from low quality websites, i would suggest to drive few links from high quality website and increase the participation of users through social networking sites.

    I think publishing articles on PR writing sites can also go a long way in building quality links to your websites.

    I spend around 5-8 hours per week. Usually that's enough to drive good traffic since I have a very well defined system in place that I follow.

    I think it is not enough because some people are spending more than eight hours on link building every day.

    Personally I spend probably on average of 20 hours each week on link-building. I have relied highly on guest blogging for backlinks and each quality article takes a good chunk of time. But it's all worth it, especially when cranking out 14-18 articles with links that will go on niche-related PR3+ sites.

    I also spend a small amount of time blog commenting, forum posting, and social bookmarking for backlinks also. Outsourcing is too much money and you don't have the same quality control. In the end, time will pay off.

    3 hours per day is enough, avoid overdo linkbuilding for this can harm your site.

    I spend about 10 hours or more in a week, about 3 hours each day. I map out what I need to do each day, like for today I do forum posting, tomorrow it's article submission. Keeping a schedule helps me stay organized and not focus on just one method of link building.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    That is an excellent way of going about link building. There is nothing like mapping out because you cannot miss any useful avenue of link building.

    Its not necessary that you should sit for so many hours for getting backlinks. Only the thing i should suggest is there should be quality backlinks towards our site and avoid spamming.
