   I wish to thank Lawmacs first of all for sharing this much of great posts. Really, your articles give some great idea, suggestions & more. I don’t feel that link building is dead. However, SERP ranking doesn’t depends only on back links. So, link building is still alive.

   Interesting article! I think link building will continue to be important in determining rankings in the foreseeable future, however I think too many people become obsessed with the numerical scores involved in determining rankings: PR and Alexa are important but at the end of the day it’s SERPS that matter. The way to get good SERPS is to create great content and lots of it, regularly. If the content really is great there is no reason why other sites will not start to link back to you with one way links. If the content changes continually more and more traffic will be generated. In terms of use of time is it more valuable to seek out good quality links or to build the content that will increase your search engine rankings and probably result in more one way links long term anyway? I have content on one of my photography sites that is linked to from a PR 8 page one way text link. They like the content, they link back to me.

   For someone like me trying to actively seek out PR 8 links (especially one way) that would be a lot of time wasted. Personally I think it’s more valuable to build and reap the rewards down the line, killing two birds with one stone in a way.

   I am no expert in SEO though, just my opinion!;-) I post on valuable blogs like this in my free time because I enjoy it and if it can help my SEO a little too in the process – great stuff!

  I cannot agree more. Great contents are the secret to an increased ranking in the SERPs. If you have good contents, people will link to you naturally.

For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

    PageRank is an algorithim google invented that assesses the strength of a website. The algorithim evaluates a site on a scale of n/a to 10 with 0 being the lowest/weakest and 10 being the highest/strongest. We can check our site’s rank by using a pagerank checker tool.

    Well i see most of the times people comeup with new things ,they will just say the classic methods stopped working. All link building methods works so far good including directory listing ( there is a lot of conversation going on nowadays whether directory listing have link juice nowadays.) In my experience we can really target high competition keywords with just these classic link building methods like directory listing, blog commenting, forum posting, sbm etc…

    Linkbuilding is the core of Internet. IMO it will never die. Even if Google stop taking external links as a rank factor – links will always be vital for a website.

    Thanks for that post

    If linkbuilding is dead, you wouldn’t know it from the linkbuilding software promotions that are out there! I have heard linkbuilding in combination with activity (a blog with active comments) and fresh, unique content is the key. In otherwords, you have to have the trifecta, not just links.

    I don’t think link building is dead, although most sites won’t link to you when you are starting out until you have at least PR2-3. So, until then you have to rely on normal link building, and once I do get to PR3, I don’t need to ask for links from other sites.

    Wait, does this mean that link building is dead? I’m confused now

    Link building is not dead, it’s just that there are more effective methods in generating traffic that are being formulated and capable of driving same results, such as social media marketing, email marketing, ppc, branding and many more.

    but what makes link building important are:

    1. drives traffic
    2. improves your site’s authority and trustrank
    3. visibility (keyword ranking or branding through blog comments)
    4. pagerank (importance of a site to the community)

    Well, I know that there’s more than those I’ve mentioned.

    I don’t think that “Link Building” will ever be dead unless Google and the other search engines figure out some way to make irrelevant the weight of links all together, which I don’t foresee happening. Unfortunately, so long as there’s link building, there will be insurmountable sums of spam spewed throughout the Internet with each passing moment.

    The truth is, the Web has always been social, but in my view link building can be effective if your link are useful to integrate the article people are reading, so they are most interested to read the content behind the link and you receive target traffic as well.

    If link building is dead then SEO is dead. As simple as that. I think link building forms the bulk of a SEO. Maybe people still have this google page rank in their minds when they think about link building but for me, link building is one of the ways to build a good relationship in this blogosphere. I do it mostly for creating a good relationship with my fellow bloggers. And in the process it gets me a decent amount of traffic and also a better google page rank. Yes, page speed is now a factor to a google page rank but you cannot ignore the importance of quality backlinks which is only possible if your link building is good. As a whole, Link Building is vital to me as a blogger though I am not much into it now. I am happy to be a link baiter which I believe is more fruitful in the long run.

    I had to read this right away as soon as I read the title. A good teaser I have to admit. Anyway, link building is obviously not dead and I will maybe risk saying that it will never be dead. On the contrary, I think that search engines and everything else “organic” will further rely with links pointing to websites as this is one form of “endorsing” any website. The quantity in my view is what maybe drilling down to a slow death as “quality” inbound links will get stronger and stronger.

    Gary, It seems like all your latest posts are thought provoking.

    In answer to your question, I think link building is very much alive and well. However, I do believe the way we build links has changed over the past few years.

    It’s not just a matter of building links any more. It’s more about building relationships with those you link with. It’s also important that you know who you are linking up with. Linking to sites with a bad rep can hurt your rankings.

    I wish I had more time to spend on building links but for now, my favorite methods of building links is commenting on good blogs like yours and posting in forums.
