When looking to increase the number of visitors your website receives, constructing an effective link building strategy can be the first successful step towards an overall improvement in inbound traffic. A well planned link building campaign can also be a fantastic contribution when looking to increase your website’s ranking in Google, Bing and Yahoo! As search engines are our first port of call when navigating towards new content, it’s critical that search engines recognize your website above others when users enter search queries that relate directly to your niche.

When search engine users are presented with pages of results, the likelihood of them scouring through pages to find your website listed on page 7 is very unlikely. This is why gaining as many links from popular websites within the same of a closely related niche gives your websites a lot of credibility when search engines value it.
