Any search engine optimization that is not done directly to the website being optimized is considered off site search engine optimization. Link building is one of the most popular and fruitful of off site SEO techniques as the more inbound links a website has, the higher the website will rank in search engine results.

There are many factors that determine a websites ranking including content, the age of the domain, the geographic location a searcher is located in, and more, but link building probably ranks right under content as most important. I say probably as no one really knows the exact algorithms of each search engine, yet even Google, who is super-secretive, admits links are important.

Links to a website look natural and count more among the major search engines if they come from a variety of reputable websites such as blogs, social media sites, other websites with related content, niche directories and more. Finding these websites and convincing them to link to you is not easy.

It can each up the majority of a webmasters day, time better spend on other things. So whatever your website is about, or is promoting, your time is better spent working on your website and leaving the tedious link building tasks to professionals who know the best places to get high quality back links.
