Link Building is a very crucial strategy for a website. Links are one of the factors that Google looks for on a website to determine its importance or popularity. The more links you have on your website, the more influence you will have with Google when they assign your website a search engine ranking.

There are two different types of links that are used in Link Building. The first one is called Backlinks and the definition, according to wikipedia, is: Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node. Backlinks are also called incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.

The other type of link is called Reciprocal Links and is defined as: A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites in order to ensure mutual traffic. Here is an example of a reciprocal link: Acme’s Detective Service and Mystery Inc. have websites. Mystery Inc. places a simple text link on their website referring to Acme’s Detective Service website. Acme’s Detective Service also places a link referring to Mystery Inc. Both websites are now pointing to each other creating a mutual advertising bond.
