Link building results in web traffic. It is that simple. Every web master who has ever attempted to squeeze out a living from their web sites has found out soon enough that finding traffic is not easy, and that one of the best ways to do it is to get their web sites to rank near the top of the search engines for the keywords that best characterize their sites.

Sites that rank favorably in the search engines are typically those which are linked to from other sites from all across the web. So how do you go about getting the necessary backlinks?

The optimal way is to create great content for your web pages and encourage people to link to that content. But this poses something of a catch-22 type situation, because it is hard to convince people to link to you if you cannot first get them to your site to see that content. So, much of your initial backlink generation depends upon do-it-yourself operations. You write articles and add backlinks into the resource area at the conclusion of the article, and then you submit those articles to article directories and hope other people download them and add them to their site.

This approach does work as a link building method, but it can be slow and tedious. A better way to do this is to employ a service that takes your articles and automatically submits 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 not possible to automate this idea in any way because robots cannot understand the blog posts to which they are responding, and they cannot generate useful responses.

But there is an alternative to this. Instead of posting comments, a robot could certainly spin a blog post and distribute it to hundreds of blogs in a blogging network. This is much the same as article distribution, except that the posts appear on blogs, and people can respond to 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.
