If you are anything like me, then the last thing in the world you want to do is spend your time and energy building “links”.

I mean, Link Building has gotta be most tedious and BORING chore we have as online marketers, but the problem is, it’s arguably the most important if you want to rank your site and get traffic!

Before we go any further, let’s get everyone up to speed on exactly WHAT “Backlinks” are, and why they are so critical to your marketing success…

Backlinks, which are links from one site to another, count as “votes” for your website in the Search Engines.

The higher quality, higher “Page Rank” (a ranking system from 0-10 that Google assigns to websites) the website is that contains YOUR link, the more valuable the ‘vote’ is seen in the Search Engines.

If your site has a good number of these valuable ‘votes’ the Search Engines, especially Google, will put YOUR site higher in its index.

Simple, right?

Ahh – But putting it into action… Not So Much
