    Link building is just the process of getting links pointed to your website. There are many, many ways to build links. Many of those strategies are discussed on this forum, including:
    -article marketing
    -web directories
    -press releases
    -social bookmarking
    -blog commenting
    -forum signatures
    -social networking profiles
    -link baiting

    Before you jump into any of those strategies take some time to read what other people are saying about it. You might find some good tips on what to do and what to avoid.

    Some strategies work better for some websites. So try several strategies and see what works for you. Ideally you would be using a few strategies concurrently to get many links from many sources.

    Good luck.

    I can see that you have a url in your signature file. That is link building in its very advance form!

    Yes he does have a signature link, but unfortunately it is targeting a very poor keyword phrase that nobody searches for. Remember that you should do through keyword research before building links, otherwise you might just get rankings that don't result in traffic.

    You should be link building on a regular basis and make it a part of your regular routine. Just focus on quality one way backlinks and spend as much time as you can get links on quality websites to your site.

    According to the gurus there are four types of links.

    1. Links for traffic
    2. Links for link juice (PageRank)
    3. Links for both of the above
    4. Links for none of the above

    If we consider type 1 (Links for traffic) these could be paid for i.e advertising links such as Google AdWords or TextLinkAds. They will drive traffic to your site but they won't pass any 'credibility' or improve your PageRank. But they are not bad links, they will (should) send traffic and this could equal business.

    Looking now at type 2 (links for PageRank) these are links to your site from authority and trusted sites. These links may not send a lot of traffic to your site but the search engines will recognise these links as a vote for your site and your site's ranking or stature may well benefit.

    Type 3 links encompass both types 1 and 2 and represent the very best type of link. These links will pass valuable link juice and traffic. Not surprisingly these links are not easy to secure.

    Type 4 links are links that neither send traffic nor improve your sites ranking by giving it a valuable vote.

    Linkbuilding is an offpage optimization strategy. Examples: forum posting, link exchange, social bookmarking, etc.

    Link bait is simply using a controversial title, or something outrageous so people can't help but click.

    How can it not be good practise? What do you think newspapers do every single day with their headlines?

    I don't read the news paper :)

    I just dont get the point of baiting people onto your website if they're just going to look at it for 2 seconds and then leave.
