Great info to keep in mind. And yes, it can be difficult to get in-bound links. But it's well worth the time. Also make sure you have lots of good, fresh and original content on your site.
Good Post. Also keep in mind that it matters what sites these links are coming from. Links from big, trusted sites are good, but not optimal if their content is completely unrelated to yours. Aim to get links from sites operating in the same category/niche than your own. That not only gives you visitors who are more likely to buy from you but also higher rankings in search engines.
Nice share, but you can get many inbound link so easily if you make a post regularly and do a lot of good share.
Other than size of the site of the outbound link, is there any way search engines determine some links are better than others?
Kathy, good question! Reputation of the linking site is really important, as is the keywords the link comes from. For example, if you're trying to rank for the keyword "software", you want your site to be linked to from that word. Links from keywords tell the search engines what the destination site is about.
wondering if/when/can google will start looking at traffic coming from twitter and make that part of their search algorithm?
Really good post, it would be nice to have all traffic being counted. It is also true that quality links are hard to get.

Yes that's right quality link building is so important but you did not say something new.
I'm a new business online, everything about internet marketing seems hard to me at this point, only e-mailed.
You all are so helpful,and it's so obvious that everyone is excited and wants to share!
Thank you, you did a real good job explaining the importance of links,I actually get it.
We make this a win win for both of us! Help me help you.
I agree that links play a big part and most people tend to ignore them since they take time to build. But to truly succeed in SEO you need them. And you need to focus on the anchor text in those links (anchor text meaning the actual name of the link). If you can strategically place keywords in the link that relate to the keywords on the linked to page, all the better according to Google. Here's a helpful post on using anchor text.

Great article - this is one of the things we get asked a lot when doing SEO work for clients. We can't stress enough the need for good quality linking. Like others have said, it takes time, but it's worth the effort in the long run.
