Link building generates web traffic. It is that simple. Every web master who has ever hoped to squeeze out a living from their web sites has discovered fairly quickly that getting traffic is not easy, and that one of the best ways to achieve 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 well in the search engines tend to be 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 great content for your web site and encourage people to link to that content. But this poses something of a catch-22 type situation, because it is difficult 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 comes down to do-it-yourself operations. You create 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 method, but it is usually slow and tedious. An alternative to this is to use 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 onto their web site. I have discussed this kind of automated link building service in some depth at http://www.neurolinkerreview.com/

Another way to gain backlinks is to post 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 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 comment on them. This is another of the automated ways for generating links discussed in my review.
