Link building is a pain in the Arse
Link building is a pain in the arse – I love being my own boss, and running my own business, and out of all of the tasks I have to undertake, building links is the task I hate the most. It’s tedious, and one email to 20 website owners, might bring 2 or 3 links.
I’ve thought about hiring someone to build my links, but I am having trouble finding someone reliable, and someone who will care about my website, and not just slap up a link to any website. If any of you have suggestions to help with link building please leave a comment, I am sure it’ll help us all sharing your own experiences.

I don’t enjoy much sending emails to build links, and I hate submitting to directories. What remains .. leaving comments, asking people that write about the same thing as me to exchange instant messaging id’s and talk, writing on forums related to my blogs (links in signature and visitors to the blogs).
I prefer to make myself seen in the forums or blogs very related to my topics. Got to mingle and socialize with the crowd interested in the same things as you if you want to make something with your blog. Might bring less links right now then just asking people to put me in their blogroll, but I hope it will be better in the future with this metod.
Most of my links to the Travel blog I write, are from 1-way links, from people who think their visitors would be interested in my content.
Write unique content, and people will link to your blog, gaining links is not that difficult for blogs. It’s a lot more difficult for sites that offer a service or product, as people don’t want to automatically link to that type of site.
It\’s not just the quantity which you need to look into, the quality of links you build to your site matters more than quantity. One easy way of building links is writing unique quality articles and to make people who use your articles link to your site.
Another way of building links is to submit to high PR directories, you can hire someone to submit your site to directories manually.
