Below is an introductor except from the article:

Having a website is important, but having a website your customers can find is critical to the success of your online business. A tried and tested method for improving search engine rankings is through a gradual increase of inbound links.

As I’m sure many webmasters are aware, Google regards inbound links as one of the most important factors in determining a site’s page rank. But many misunderstand the key to a successful web marketing campaign.

People try to get as many links as possible as soon as their site or marketing campaign goes live, and many fail as a result. People try all the scams in the book to boost page rank, and consequently get kicked out of Google. Put simply – time and research is the key to successful link building.

The Importance of Industry-Specific Keywords
To ensure your links remain relevant, up-to-date and specific, it is vital to spend some time doing keyword research. First, compile a list of keywords you think people might use to find your website. Try to make this list as extensive as possible, and include as many variants of each keyword as possible.

Using a keyword selection tool to source keyword volumes and additional keywords will broaden the keywords you are targeting. It will also allow you to really focus on the keywords that are most specific to your site, and to target keywords that people are actually using to search for your website. But remember, be realistic – only target keywords that are specific to what you do.

That's not the key to successful link building. The key is have something worth linking to.

That one key thing makes every other thing you try easier. ....People will link to you without you having to ask, beg, cajole and bribe. ....When you do ask, it's more likely you will get a positive response if you've done the work of developing something worth linking to.

The number one mistake people make is trying too hard to rig page rank than the first step of developing content which qualifies to rank highly. And no, having 250 words of SE spam doesn't qualify.

How do people know you have good content if they can't find it. Your sites content is more about seo not link building. You could write a whole new article about seo. I thought it was a really interesting article and you can't just dismiss it like that.
