What is Link Building? 

LinkBuildingHudsonHorizonspg.jpg

 

Link building is the process of creating inbound links that lead consumers directly to your website. Link building is an important part of search engine optimization that aims to drive more traffic to your website, increase brand awareness and increase sales and revenue.

How would a business begin the process of link building?

Businesses can start a link building campaign in many different ways. Submitting your company's website, articles, and press releases to online directories, search engines, social bookmarking sites, and online forums is a great way to begin the process of creating inbound links that direct consumers back to your website.

Why is Link Building Important?

Link building gives businesses the opportunity to position themselves in an endless amount of locations and websites which is so important to businesses because it gives people the opportunity to actually find them.
When a company has no inbound links, there is nothing leading consumers back to their website, which means that they will receive less traffic and, ultimately, fewer sales.

Advantages of Link Building

There are many advantages of link building for businesses.

Traffic: Creating links that direct people to your website will instantly increase your sites traffic.
• Sales: The additional traffic you will be receiving on your website pretty much guarantees that your company will also increase sales and revenue.
Brand Awareness: The more inbound links your company creates, the more aware people will become about your company and the products or services that you offer.
Credibility: Inbound links are also very important to a company because it helps establish credibility. When you submit articles and press releases to quality websites, your company instantly appears more believable.
Exposure: Inbound links will increase your exposure and ensure that your company is seen and heard by the world.
Higher Ranking: Creating quality inbound links will help you to achieve a higher ranking in the search engines

Link building generally does not drive direct traffic. It is a method of growing traffic by enhancing your link profile, raising your rank on specifically targeted pages to receive more visits through the search engine results pages. Link building is not a push marketing strategy like PPC.

When you've started with your link building efforts, you should consider doing all of the methods that you mentioned there, i.e. press releases, article submissions, etc. Doing those in unison will definitely be a huge deal for your link building. Well, just don't do it in a spammy way, though.
