Link building

I am very new to this so please forgive me if this is a little basic

I have read a lot about the importants of having other high quality sites linking to my own. What are some of the ways that I can do this?

How do people find my site to link to it if I am not showing on the search rankings?

Any advice would be welcome, also advice on the best seo software to use!

any help would be great

Hi Lewis,

This is my first post and I will try and help you as much as I can.

The first step I take to build back links to a clients website is to submit to as many web directories as I can over a long period of time, maybe submit your site to two directories a day. Here is a great a site with a directory of online directories you can submit your site to: http:// www.best-web-directories. com/

The best strategy of building back links is having large amounts of quality, unique content on your website, if your website for example sells snooker/pool tables, set up a blog within your site offering pool and snooker tips. Find any excuse to write some content for your site as long as it makes sense and is beneficial to your users.
