This is one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time on link building…
The author spells it out quite clearly, and summarizes the subject very well. If you need links (and you do, or you wouldn’t be reading this) it’s a must read that will bring you back to earch and back to the basics… There are no quick fixes. You need to have a “linkworthy” site to get inbound links.
Reading that article inspired me to finish up an article of my own, that I’ve now posted in my SEO101 area. It’s called “Link Building – What Will do the Trick?” and it’s not a “beginners guide to link building”, but more of a “think outside the box” article.
