Link building
After letting the search engines know your site exists, the next major part in promoting your website - apart from traditional offline promotion such as adding your web address to all of your printed marketing flyers, posters, letterheads etc. - is link building.

A good great SEO friend of mine is obsessed by authority links. If you don’t know what authority links are, they are additional links that are indented underneath the main result in Google pointing to other pages in that website.
In addition, they are generally the first result in Google for a particular search term - but I’ve seen some at No. 2, 3 etc. More »
