Reasons Why Links Are Still Important

Links are still the lifeblood of the internet and should be an important part of your internet strategy when building a website.

Why are links important?

* Links from other websites can provide visitors to your website. A link from a related or themed website can can pre-qualify them as someone that is interested in your product, service or informational website. A close match can mean better conversion rates for you.

* Having a number of links from websites that are already indexed in the major search engines can help bring in spiders (also known as webcrawlers) to index your website. Although there are no guarantees for ranking, the webcrawlers will help organize your websites information in their search indexes at some point in time.

* Word of mouth marketing works. Whenever you get a link from another website it’s like getting a personal referral from the site that linked to you. The more personal referrals you get, the better.

There are many ways to get links. You can submit your website to directories, exchange links with other webmasters or submit your articles to social networking websites like Digg, Thumbd.net or Sootle.com.

I hope that this helps explain why links are still important and gave you enough resources to get your link building campaign started!
