Link Building this Month (05.2010)
3 Jun
Newspapers are asked to remove links, natural links become a rarity, and more and more webmasters become link-greedy; the link graph is breaking down. In other words: link building seems to become more difficult.
Sure, there are still many relatively easy ways to get links to your SMB website, or to build links to local websites, but this trend will probably not go away. Link tactic differentiation, of which creatively pursuing .gov links or by building links backwards (a very effective way of content based link building) are just a few examples, is probably more important than it ever was.

Hi Wiep, thanks for the pointer to one of your earlier techniques about just giving site owners what they want. I think all linkbuilders would be wise to remember that the straight forward, frontal approach works a lot of the time.
What does “building links backwards” mean?
I thought it would be bad, if 2 sites link to each other?
Well yeah i also want to confirm about building links backward .please give us the info about this.
