SEO Friday – A Week In Link Building
This week produced quite a bit of excellent content around link building. In this week edition of SEO Friday, we’ll recap some of these excellent articles and references that were published during this week. As you may know, link building is a very important aspect of improving your visibility in the search engines.
Ann Smarty, author of the successful Search Engine Journal, wrote an article titled, How To Build Links and Awareness by Pitching Bloggers. In this article she addressed that bloggers can be an excellent resource towards building links for the fact that most bloggers are always on the hunt for new material to write about and they are connected with many friends which gives your links the opportunity to go viral. The article was submitted into Sphinn, so be sure to help Ann out by casting your vote.
The author of a blog titled, Link Building Best Practices, wrote a very thoughtful piece that distinguishes the difference between SEOs and Link Builders. It is stated that there is a clear difference between the two skilsets and it is noted that commonly most people are either one or the other but not both. Understanding the difference between the two very well might break the boundary and expand the skilset from both professions. You should take a moment to help out by casting a vote on Sphinn.
SMX in London is at full force this week and one of the more popular topics — you guessed it — link building. Wiep Knol, author of a very informative link building blog, provided some coverage for all the folks who could not attend SMX in London with an article titled, Blog Your Mind Link Building Techniques. Without a doubt, there are some excellent links and references found in this article including a wonderful overview of the line up of professional speakers who gave speeches. As with the other two articles, providing your vote on Sphinn will help out the author.

Search engine optimization is the name given to the process of ensuring that a website is compatible with the requirements of search engines. It involves ensuring web site code is search-engine-friendly, writing keyword-rich text content, and deciphering how links affect the flow of information.

Good gig here Garry.
Link building and SEO are hand in hand here. Where one goes, so does the other. You need it all. I did Sphinn a couple of the well written articles, but who uses Sphinn? I think it is like preaching to the choir and I can’t see where it would attract any new traffic.

That’s a lot of great info and I love Ann Smarty’s posts as always. She’s really defining herself as a top link builder with one great article after another.
