Link building is an off-page search engine optimization factor which a critical to the success of any SEO campaign. The entire index at each of the major search engines is created by search engine spiders following links, to index new or updated content. If your website has very few links pointing to it, search engine spider actvity will be low. On the other hand, If you have many links, search engine spiders will make their way to your site more frequently, which ensures new pages and updated content are indexed in a timely manner.

There are three basic reasons why strategic link building is critical to every search engine optimization campaign:

1. Overall Link Popularity - Search engines view each link to your website as a vote of confidence for the content your site provides. In the eyes of a search engine, if your website has earned a link, the content provided must be important. As overall link popularity increases, so does the trust level assigned to your website by the search engines.
2. Determination of Relevancy - Search engines can learn more about your website and determine your site's relevancy through the sources of links you have received.
3. Keyword Optimization - Through optimization of the anchor text, the words used in a clickable link, you can incorporate keywords that are relevant to your website. This tells the search engine that your website is important for these keywords, which in turn help you rank higher.

A successful link building program entails much more than simply submitting your website to free directories. A solid link building campaign requires a mixture of different types of links, beyond free directories, and includes listings at high level authority directories such as Yahoo. Additionally, links from other websites, blogs, social bookmarking websites and more help balance out a successful strategic link building campaign that will bring traffic, and build the trust level of your website.
