I know building links is one of the most important process and SEO. I just want to know how its properly done. I heard of link exchange and back links but still a bit confused. I you look at my site hiphopnote.com. All the site i exchanged links with, i added them to my blog roll. I would like to know if this is the proper way to be done. I also would like to know how to create back backlinks and all the other basic things that need to be done..... Any tip is greatly appreciated ..
Placing link at blogroll is right way for blogs or if you don't like that, you can use usual way placing links in footer.
You can get quality links by posting on forums. Some directories are also good for back links. But do not submit everywhere, be careful who ask money for a backlink. its my personal bad experience.
Link exchange is the best if you are getting relevant links and from high pr page ( no of home page). + always notice that getting links from one level is the best its totally useless to get links from deep pages.
I prefer writing articles at article directories and put my link in the signature . That way you can get some links .
Gray171 should place the links in the footer. he can not keep placing all the backlinks as blogroll links. I agree with you he should place the backlinks to the footer.
I started to implement all these task and gotten real good ranking in alexa. I stop blogging for about 2 months and fell of in the ranking close to one million, i was near half a million before. Got real dismotivated since i wasnt seeing no money. Time to start grinding again
