Building backlinks, those are links to your website from other websites, are great for increasing the ranking of your website and pages. This simple fact is enough information to make most website owners a danger to themselves. It’s for this reason that so many websites provide link building services. Unfortunately, most website owners don’t understand the difference between building solid backlinks, and ones that can actually hurt their rankings.
Free Link Building Tools
Think that a free link building tool is the right way to go? Think again. Most of the “Free” link building tools actually hurt your rankings unless you pay for an upgrade. The free ones that work, such as Google Webmaster Tools, take quite a bit of effort to use and are not click and wait to soar to the top of your keywords. Be weary if a link building site is free without being clear about plans and pricing options, promises to link build for you, and doesn’t provide solid reporting.
