I am what you call the lazy dog; i don't like to bend my neck too much here and there. I am sure there other lazy dogs like me in dp too. Please can you tell us what you found is the easiest way to build links?
I'm only just starting out on the road of link building - but signing up to forums like this seems to really assist in getting Google to know about you. I've been submitting to loads of directories too. bttradespace has been a really good free site that has given my site (homecontrast.com) quite a good set of links. Richard
You need to pursue not quantity but quality of the links you get. They should be from a site related in topic to yours and ideally one way. Such a link will most probably be valued a lot by Google
Probably, or will? There are actually two ways to do it. You can go for quality and just a few dozen good websites linking to you will probably do it. Or you can go for quantity, and probably achieve the same results. The problem is when you're in a very competitive field, there's only so much quality you can get. When your average competitor has over 20,000 incoming links and is a PR6 or above. The whole quality versus quantity argument goes out the window. At that point, you have to just go for mass. I'm currently working with a client, and have a long term plan to get over 100,000 incoming links over a year. Not going to be easy, but in a field that gets over 20,000 searches a day, the payoff is huge. But for 90% of websites, quality will get you there. Just realize the upper 10% are going to require quantity as well. MR
It's better that you have quality backlinks. PR is not only calculated by number of backlinks but quality of backlinks.
