    Hello,

    In short SEO means Search Engine Optimization. This means improving one's website rank in natural search results for some searched keyword.

    "Link building" stand for ... well, you guess it ... link building. The search engines rank sites in their natural results by the quality/number of links that are pointing to a website. Search Engine Optimization uses link building (read getting links to your website) in order to influence those rankings. Basically search engines try harder and harder to separate real links (real people that link to your website because of your website's content) and links "built" specially for increasing the ranking. Ofc writing content that would naturally attract links to your website is good and it's a great SEO strategy, but it might take time. Also, you need traffic(people coming to visit your website) in order for visitors to view that content, like it, and then link to it.

    Do you have a website, Monalisa?
    If so, you would need to do SEO on your site to gain high ranking with search engines for the keywords that you are targeting.

    A timesaving tip for in the future: You could have answered these questions in about five seconds if you just "googled it" first.

    "The verb to google (also spelled to Google) refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web."

    The Big G knows all.

    Think of links like votes, a link from site A to site B is a vote, by site A, for site B. The more votes a site has, the higher it ranks.

    Hello Viewers,

    Thanks for your response and idea that you have shared with us..

    Here what i really wanted to share my knowledge with you all.. which i missed in my previous post.

    what does the term SEO mean?

    Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks," the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

    The true definition of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be stated as a highly specialized process of building a successful website. We say successful because if a commercial website cannot be found in the major search engines, it is not successful, it just isn't doing it's job.

    Definition of Link Building

    Link Building is the name given to the technique of building inbound links to ones own site not only that to it even means to sharing links of their site with others... You can do this by reciprocal links, enlisting them in directories, e-zines, search engines and newsletters. Resort to link building, if you want to popularize your site.

    What is the purpose of link building?

    The purpose of link building is to generate inward and out ward link..
    It help in visibility..
    It matter a lot in Search engine ranking
    It even help in promotion...
    and many others.......

    How is link building beneficial?

    Indexing web pages becomes an easy affair through link building. Certain sites are designed in such a manner that they appear to be complex in structures. Users and search engines find it difficult to crawl on these pages. So these pages are usually ignored by the crawler/spider. Here link building plays an important role by ensuring better indexing through links directing to web pages of your site.

    Link building assists in getting a high page rank, thus raising the standard of your website. It also aids in traffic generation. The more traffic upgrades your sales figure, thus adding to your profits.

    Note: Not link farming should be brought into practice.... There are higher possibilities that goggle would band that sites...

    These are my views about the above topic....


    Thanks
