Link building still important?



Recently with Google’s recent algo updates lots of questions have been raised whether link building is there or dead. The answer to the question is its still there but it should be done with caution, not that we go anywhere and add our link, it should be done in proper way.

As now Google algo is looking for good and trustworthy links and giving less importance to links from bad quality sites, we must concentrate to acquire links from good sites. To identify good links we have to see the domain age, the page rank the website has etc. The other thing is user information, how long a user stays on a website, so the site must be relevant to search keywords, more bounce rate means site will not rank.

Submitting to good directory still works, before submitting just make sure the site has a page rank and also max pages are crawled by Google, else submitting to it will do no good to you. Same way submitting in quality article directories will also help. Do not submit one article to more directories one article to max 5 article directories.

Alternatively, one can think of outsourcing to save cost, there are many firms offering affordable link building services.
