Hello Friends,

Link building is a technique that has always been used to push sites up in the Google rankings. It became even more important after Google and other search engines introduced link based algorithms that led to the fact that link building became the most important method to improve search engine rankings for a site.
Since then Google has become more and more sophisticated and has improved to better evaluate link growth and link quality in order to fight against automated link spam. A lot of new quality signals have been put in place in the last years that show if a site really deserves ranking high in their results.
