Incoming links - why bother?
Seeking out other web sites that will link to your web site, referred to as incoming links or inbound links, is time consuming and staying with it can be hard if your requests for links are ignored. But getting other web sites to link to your web site is the MOST RELIABLE way to help your web site to move up in the search engines.
Aimclear blog recently recounted a presentation at the 2009 SMX conference in Seattle:
“…When Rand [Fishkin, of SEOMOZ] was initially looking for an absolute among metrics, he found only 1 metric that has any ability to predict rankings and that is the number of different domains linking to a URL.”
It’s worth your time to seek out and get incoming links. See my other posts under link building for tips on how to get inbound links.
