Among the popular misconceptions among novice or young online entrepreneurs is that once you have created a website for your products and services, coupled with on-page SEO (Search Engine Optimization), you are on your way to a successful online business. But this were not so.
An excellent product or service, a well-designed website and a SEO optimized webcopy are but necessary requisites. These are only the components of your website’s first level foundation. There is more.
Search engines, especially Google, are very dynamic, so much, so that their algorithms are sometimes too complicated to predict or analyze. They’re always changing. This is primarily to protect the integrity to their SERPs or Search Result Pages. Many black SEO practitioners out there are relentlessly looking for ways to go behind the current established algorithm. Thus, from time to time you will notice diluted SERPs in your queries.
There is a consensus among SEO practitioners, both legit and black hat, that link popularity still plays a huge part for ranking high in search engines’ results. However, not just links or reciprocal links in some cases, but links coming from relevant sites. Moreover, appropriate anchor texts are also being given a high importance by search engine spiders.
The question now is, would link building services can still provide you these quality and relevant backlinks you need for your site to rank higher in SERP? Yes. Definitely. I think there is no contention on that.
However though, for novice and young entrepreneurs, these could be costly. Hence, when I am asked what is the best way to get these relevant incoming links, I would always proffer the conventional way doing it, by commenting on other blogs and writing quality contents that are link-worthy.

Subscribe toA very interesting post. Your I will try your rules and hope I get some links more. Thanks for sharing.
Back and cross links are essential to gain readers and clients. The truth is, you can never sit back and assume that people are going to find your web site. Links are like web billboards for your business.
Interesting, though lots of speculation about whether or not commenting actually builds links, based on do follow and no follow blogs. Apparently from my recent reader, most are no follow blogs, no follow being the default code in most blogging platforms. I've recently deleted the no follow on my blog, but still don't know how to tell when I'm visiting a blog whether or not they are a dofollow or a no follow blog?
Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm always interested in reading articles like this in an effort to learn more.

I couldn't agree more. That' why I am trying dispel here that misnomer.

I always check my google analytics and apparently googlebots are actually crawling those links, followed or not. No wonder you'll see a lot of spam commenters around.
If you are using firefox, you might want to install a 'do-follow' plug-in that can easily detect do-follow blogs you might want to throw comment to.
Place your websites link where it can stay for long time so that trust factor of website will boost and also try to get links from authority sites that are having the relevant content rather than link pages.
