Recently an article was published on Business Week online about how much money some bloggers make. While some of the bloggers that were profiled talk about smart link building, SEO practises, and more content building practices the article did not even link to one single blog they had profiled.

It’s funny how mainstream media doesn’t link out to the new breed of self published bloggers. Bloggers that talk about building links will tell you it’s not easy right from the outset. Sending email requests for links is probably one of the least successful ways to get a linkback to your site. The best way is to have content that will get noticed enough to be linked to. But in the ever growing web even if you have the best information out there if you’re not linked by anyone you probably won’t get noticed.

Many advertising platforms have been set up to provide websites with text links. Submit A Website.com is one such service that offers solutions for text links. On their site they state that they have partnered with over 20,000 leading websites across the Internet.

They strive on quality and if I see that someone such as Patrick Gavin, owner of text-link-ads, gives them a recommendation then they are probably worth a shot. The web has become an economy now, it has moved away from the main pretext it was set up for which was sharing information. Today it’s all about relevancy, search engine goodness and incoming links.

Building popular incoming links should be one of the top priorities of any website.
