   Hi Dana,

   Basically, link building is a way of getting "votes" from other authority websites to boost your position in a Google, Yahoo, MSN search for a specific keyword phrase e.g. "Hairdressers in Barcelona", if that was your business.

   Google likes it when you have authority links coming to your website and the better quality they are, the more Google trusts your website. The end result is that you move up in the search engine rankings and more people will find you for your keyword phrase.

   Obviously this is very oversimplified, but check out the websites below for more info.

   Link building is the process of getting links from other websites that point to yours. Google uses back-links to determine what your site is all about. So, if you want to rank high in the search engines then link building is a critical aspect. It is also a way to generate traffic to your site.

   Do a google search for "digital point" There is much seo information there and they have a section regarding back linking.
