    Like in forums you can put links to your website in your signature and it would be some kind of "link building" ;)

    And let's say tonight your set up a new Facebook and Twitter accounts with backlinks to your site, after that you submit your website to some directories, then you post a comment on a blog with a link, then you submit an article to a directory, still with a backlink to your... Then you could say: "Well I've made some link building tonight!" :)

    Directory submission is actually the start of it all.

    You need to submit your site first into directories and link build your site. :)

    Of course, you need to make sure that the blog or forums that you comment to, is related to your site or the content of your site.

    Link Building is the process of creating a "net" of links that drive targeted traffic to your website. Building links can be done in a variety of different ways, but should focus on gaining links from websites that have a combination of keyword-relevant content, High PR (pagerank), and/or good traffic.

    The two goals of link building are to 1). drive targeted traffic to your website and 2). rank high within search engines for your keywords, with the ultimate goal of driving targeted traffic to your website.

    Example: If your selling shoes on your website and place a link on your uncle bob's used car site, it really doesn't profit you that much. The site isn't focused on shoes (so you won't get too much, if any value, out of the link as far as PR), and the people visiting the site are looking for used cars, not shoes.

    On the other hand, if you could get a fashionista blogger to blog about your website and how great your selection and service are, now you have gained a link on a site related to shoes that is visited by people who are interested in shoes. The result being you gain PR and targeted traffic.

    This is a very general overview, but I think it basically explains the need for link building.

    Lastly, consider the fact that if you never build any links, and no one creates any links to your site, then as far as the Internet is concerned, it really doesn't exist. Links are how people find stuff on the Internet--even with Google. If you don't tell it you are there, if it can't find any links to your site, your site doesn't exist.

    Searching in Google is one of the best way to find relevant and strong websites: search for keywords related to your website, and Google gives you a list of relevant web pages, "almost" in order of importance. Just scroll down the list and see where you could get some backlinks. You can ask to the websites' admin for link exchange too (look for websites that complement yours, not direct competitors).

    If you are looking for the best directories, the best article directories, etc. you can find it here on Digital Point in another threads.

    And I asked people here about their favorite article directories some months ago so I will refer to that, some good replies: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1286005

    Well, i think that myarro would make you a good friend! lolzzzzz

    OK go to wordpress.org and set up a blog... put some content in that blog with your anchor text (link) in place, then go to delicious.com and make a social bookmark to that blog, with the anchor text and "tags" bounteous. While you're there make a bookmark to your site too...

    If you look around the forum there are people giving away backlinks in various submission services from free, its not a quick process, can take 4-5 months to make an impact.... PR is no concern, make sure your website is relevant, interesting, organic and there for the true purpose of being a reputable resource.

    most importantly, Have fun, mix it up, vary your anchor text and IP addresses!

    Install the relevant seo toolbars -- seoquake etc

    DCx
