    In a link building, you build the link for your website.it gives you traffic to your website.and you also get good page rank so, it is called the link earning.

    Link building is actively going out there trying to build links.

    Link earning is creating meaningful, link-bait content that people like.

    Needless to say, the latter is better for you.

    The Penguin algorithm update last spring penalized sites that were abusing link building. Later on, exact match domain links were penalized and even more recently, article links and directories have been hit.
    Link earning is a welcome change for ethical SEOs who want to promote great content. Content creation has always been the best way to gain backlinks from relevant websites, but it wasn’t a nice and easy way to increase your links like buying them was. S

    I'd say the difference between building links and earning links is that you actively set out to build a link--leave a comment, create a profile, get listed as a vendor, etc. Earning links happens naturally as the result of your social media and content marketing. You create a video or blog that gets shared, linked to, quoted and referenced. For instance, a blog post I wrote several months back just got linked to from a New York Times post. I didn't actively ask that blogger to use my content, they found and used it on their own. That's an earned link.

    Link building is building artificial links to your site, link earning is when you MARKET your stuff using social media, etc. and let it naturally attract links.

    LOL. No doubt. SEOMOZ doesn't even do their own SEO, they pay a SEO firm to do it so they can focus more time on teaching people how to do SEO. Make sense to you? Yeah, me neither. The strategies they share could possibly work well for an established brand, but unfortunately when you're starting out everything isn't unicorns and rainbows like it is over in MOZland. It's a lot more difficult to get people to share your content then they make it out to be. Trust me, I've tried it their way and I almost went broke. When you're dealing with a paying client, it's a little difficult to explain that we're doing "natural" link building when you're three months into it and they haven't moved from the fifth page.

    I think link earning is the new age of link building ... link earning is more natural than link building. After i read some posts here and browsing.

    Alright, sounds awesome. Tell you what, you start "link earning" and I'll continue "link building", and we'll meet back here in a month or two to share results. :)

    The bad thing about "link earning" is that it takes FOREVER to get results, can cost a fortune to produce the type of content that "earns" links and quite honestly it just doesn't work for 99.9% of the folks that try to do it. Now, unless you feel like the lucky .1%, I'd recommend that you stick with link building, at least until you're in a position to where you're already ranking, getting traffic, have a decent sized list and can afford to try your luck at earning some links. Just my opinion, anyway.
