Link building in simpler term is means the number of links you gather from other sites to yours. These links could be generated via articles, directories or from other websites. The more quality links you carry on your site, the better. The main thing any search engine would consider when determining on page rank is the number and quality of links, which you have pointed on your site. On the other hand, the more incoming links you will have, the larger the traffic will be on your site.

Here is what Google have to say about Paid Links "If a site is selling links, that can affect our opinion about the value of that site or cause us to lose trust in that site". Search Engine’s goal is to provide the best search experience to the users by giving them the most relevant and accurate results. So if you sell links then it increases the ranking of those links artificially so that search engines places those links on top. But such links hurts the relevance of search results causing inaccuracies and inequities.

If you still want to sell links then you can do that for sure but it must be disclosed through a "rel=nofollow" or other techniques.

As you might have noticed Google has updated the PageRank for all websites few days back. I’ve got a PageRank (PR) of 3 from 0. And I achieved this in less than 3 months of link building and of course also by updating the blog regularly. Before this recent PageRank update I’ve checked several Future PageRank Tools and all of them predicted a PR of 0 itself for this blog as according to them I didn’t have enough backlinks. But I got a PR of 2. Although a PageRank of 2 is not really great I consider this as a big achievement as I worked less than three months. So when building your site forget about this Future PageRank Tools and start building a site with quality content.

The Next Google PageRank Update

No one can predict about the next PageRank Update. It’s anybody’s guess. But we can estimate that from previous PageRank Updates.

Going From PageRank 0 To PageRank 10

If you want a PageRank in the next update then you have to start today. Now, it’s the right time to start building your website as Google updated the PageRank few days back. So that if you have a quality website then Google will give you a PageRank in the very next update itself. Backlinks generated within few weeks of the next PageRank update are not counted. If you start your link building today then Google will count that and will be used to calculate your PageRank.

Start Link Building

The easiest way to get a few free backlinks is by submitting your comments on DoFollow blogs. So all you have to do is to submit your comments on these DoFollow blogs and Google will count that as a backlink to your site. Make sure you write something useful to the users or the blog owners will delete your comment. You can leave your comments more than once. So leave a comment each time you visit those blogs. These free backlinks alone can get you a PageRank of at least one in the next PR update.

Submit Your Website To Free Web Directories

The next step to Link Building is to submit your site to free Web Directories. You can start your directory submission right from here AddURL.nu: Submit your website to 850+ Search Engine Friendly Web Directories. Add URL.nu have a list of over 875 Free Web Directories ranging from a PageRank of 0 to a PageRank of 7. They also offers a paid service which costs a one time $275 so that AddURL.nu will manually submit your link to all those 875 listed directories. That’s 800+ backlinks. Don’t go for their paid service if you can do it by yourself.

Don’t think that your site will be listed on all those 875 directories. But it’s safe to assume that you will listed on half of them and that’s not bad either. That’s enough to get a PageRank of at least 3 in the next Google Update provided you have submitted your comments on all those DoFollow blogs.
