Link Building this Week (32.2008)

Thomas Schmitz made an interesting list of everything you wanted to know about inbound and external links. He not only explains why links (and which links) are important, but he also threw in a few nice examples that turned his post into a solid introduction to links.

And also:

• Pete Wailes compiled the ultimate guide to internal linking
• Eric Enge explains what the best way is to move away from paid links (after all, nofollowed links are accepted as well)
• Justilien Gaspard published the second part of his link building with customers series
• Everett Sizemore shows 5 search queries to find sponsorship link opportunities
• David Patterson got caught on camera and talked about link building
• Darren Rowse wrote why a mix of linkbait, passion and fluff is ideal
• Lee Odden compared link building with content promotion for links
• Rand Fishkin nailed the coffin shut on the “don’t link to external sites” philosophy
