There is no question that link building is the most important aspect of you SEO strategy. At least the most important part of you off page strategy. The more links are pointing to your web site, the higher the resulting ranking.

But it is not only important to get just any links pointing to your site. You need backlinks with sufficient quality. What you should be looking for are links from sites within your niche or industry. Ideally you would get links from every page that currently shows up on the first page of Bing, Google or Yahoo.
You would go to the search engine that you target and basically try to get a link from every page that is currently ranked in the top ten. But this is in most cases not realistic. Then you try to emulate these links as close as possible. You try to get similar links.
Another strategy is to find the #1 listing for your keyword and try to copy their link profile. You go to Yahoo site explorer and find out which web sites are linking to your competition. The search command for this is link:http://target_website.com.
After you found out who is linking to them, you can now build the same links for your web site. Just figure out what they did to get those links and you are on your way to getting the same rank in a few month from now.
If this seems too much work, or you do not want to do it because your time is too valuable, you can hire a link building service to do the work. Since you are already here, why not give me a call and I’ll do it for you
