Technology in the realm of the web is ever changing. However for
it to metamorphose to the extent that content, link building,
and link baiting become redundant has not happened yet. This
dream of slow growing sites or of those that are worthy of
recognition but get swallowed by the big bad wolf (search
engines), is yet to come true. According to those in the know
this will happen only when the Semantic Web becomes a reality or
when a brand new protocol takes the place of present ones.
As of know for search engines like Yahoo, Google, and MSN links
and unique content are the "keys" to high rankings.
In the competitive business of the internet you must make use of
all the help you can get. Consider using a publicist who
specializes in the net and think about hiring an expert to
handle the tiresome and nerve wrecking business of link
building. Acknowledged experts are WeBuildPages among many
others.
Gurus who have years of net experience recommended that you
should avoid:
1. Submitting dummy content in the hope of building links or
using one page that has been successful time and again with few
changes. 2. Using paid directories the returns are never useful.
You will just loose money at an average of USD 15 a hit.
3. Using spamming to build links. The worst thing is to ask
questions and post answers yourself using varied IDs for your
own site.
4. Using what are known as "garbage" links.
5. Using stolen or copied content.
6. Making use of shams like fake mails that tempt people with
great amounts of money.
Links should be built on strong web presence and excellent
meaningful content. Only the "right" path will lead to
sustaining success. Try:
* Providing easy to comprehend content and make it exciting and
interesting. If content is useful word of it will spread like
wildfire and links will pour in.
* Ensure that the content is well written and has no punctuation
or grammar errors. This will ensure that schools, universities,
and libraries too will link to your pages.
* Establish your status by including a picture, writing briefly
about the site and your aims and objectives.
* Submit material to ezines and article sites like
EzineArticles, GoArticle, and iSnare.
* Use syndicated press releases to promote your site
Use fair not foul means to build links or link baiting. Check
for orphaned URLs and remove them instantly. What you must do is
spring clean, create, update, and delete URLS regularly. Set
yourself a schedule of sorts. Employ methods to check dead pages
like examining server logs and jotting down all pages that give
a 404 file not found error.

Although link building and linkbaiting are "buzz" words today
and are creating great excitement. The process has been in use
by serious content-friend webmasters since the beginnings of the
World Wide Web.
