    It's no secret that getting quality of back links helps boost website traffic. Here are some techniques to help you get started with link building and SEO:

    - article submissions

    - comment on blogs

    - classified ads

    - directory listings

    - link exchange

    - forum posting

    - press release

    - social groups - facebook, linkedin, etc

    - social bookmarking

    ----

    SEO is about quality NOT quantity!

    -Links don't bring in traffic if they are from directories or crap sites that nobody visits.

    -It's all about the quality of the links and knowing where to find them. What other websites does your target market visit online?

    -Do some research into your keywords/industry/competition/customers/etc and you'll probably find some great links out there that will bring in tons of traffic!

    -Analyze your keywords/website analytics and check bounce rates... optimize pages as needed.Add articles and keyword content pages as needed

    -Add value for customers

    SEO is all about links, links and more links! Try to stick to one link building method and do at least 50 - 100 links per month using only that method!

    While links are one of the most important things for SEO, I feel like people are getting lost in the method of getting links.

    In addition to the list above, another way to get links is to provide content that naturally rewards users for linking to it.

    Agreed. Link building today is much different than it was 4 years ago...even a year ago for that matter. It's all about quality, trust and relevance. Not blog roll links on spammy sites....in content links on trusted sites.

    SEOArbiter - while getting 100 links a month may sound like a lot, it might actually not deliver any customers or SEO benefit if not done correctly.

    For example we recently redesigned a magazine website that only had one very strong, established PR7 backlink (partners)... with just one main link the company had managed to get a PR4.

    Getting Link Popularity is good way of SEO. That's why link building is very crucial than creating/making contents. :D

    Indeed, 10 quality backlinks will easily trump 100 low quality backlinks. Try your best to provide great content and you should see the backlinks roll in.
