Link building generates web traffic. It is that simple. Every web master who has ever tried to generate a living from their web site properties has learned fairly quickly that finding traffic is not easy, and that one of the best ways to do it is to get their web sites to rank highly in the search engines for the keywords that best represent their sites.

Sites that rank well in the search engines are typically those which are linked to from other sites from all across the web. So how do you manage to get the required backlinks?

The optimal way is to create top-notch content for your web site and encourage people to link to that content. But that poses something of a catch-22 type situation, because it is not easy to convince people to link to you if you cannot first get them to your site to see that content. So, a great deal of your initial backlink generation comes down to do-it-yourself operations. You generate articles and add backlinks into the resource box at the conclusion of the article, and then you submit those articles to article directories in the hope that other people download them and place them on their site.

This approach does work as a link building strategy, but it is usually slow and tedious. An alternative to this is to employ a service that takes your articles and automatically adds them to the web sites of web masters who have agreed to place articles from the service on their web pages. I have discussed this kind of automated link building service in some depth at http://www.neurolinkerreview.com/

Another strategy to secure backlinks is to submit comments to other people's sites and use a backlink as part of your signature. This is yet another very time consuming approach, but it can work well. Unfortunately it is impossible to automate this process in any way because robots cannot understand the blog posts to which they are responding, and they cannot generate intelligent responses.

But there is an alternative to this. Rather than posting comments, a robot could easily reword a blog post and submit it to hundreds of blogs within a blogging network. This is much the same as article distribution, except that the posts end up on blogs, and people can comment on them. This is another of the automated methods for generating links discussed in my review.

If you want to get started with the automation of your link building efforts, I suggest reading my Neurolinker review to see what is involved.
