Link building is one of the most important aspects of search engine optimization that you can undertake for your website. The number and quality of inbound links to your website (your link profile) accounts for 7 out of 10 of the most important factors in determining your search engine rankings according to a report published by SEOmoz.
Here are the top 10 factors with the ones related to links highlighted:

Clearly, link building is hugely important and it’s something that we all need to pay attention to. That’s why I wanted to tell you about an article written by Wiep Knol over at Wiep.net. He has compiled a list of 69 link building strategies for 2009 that’s very inclusive and provides a lot of great link building tips.
Here’s how he breaks the list down:
- 7 internal link building strategies
- 10 beginner strategies
- 12 places to submit your site to
- 12 old school link building techniques
- 12 ways to make people write about you
- 12 common business tactics
- 4 important considerations
Probably my most favorite part of this article is the end… Advanced Linking Strategies. It’s my favorite because there aren’t any listed!
“There is no such thing as advanced link building. While this list already sums up quite a few different strategies, I’m pretty sure that you can easily come up with a dozen more, that are specifically suitable for your company or industry.
Eric Ward once said that link building is “one part marketing, two parts public relations, and three parts common sense”. I’d say that link building is 10% basic SEO knowledge, 20% business thinking, 30% creativity and 40% perseverance. Either way, there’s nothing advanced to it.”

Where Harry Potter Really Messed Up
I have to admit, I was really looking forward to Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince - due out in November 2008… That was until I heard the astounding news that the Warner Brothers Studio was pushing it back until July 2009.
I call this astounding news because the only reason that I’ve heard sited for bumping it back was so that the studio could make more money.
