I like to focus on building search engine traffic to my sites because once you have rankings you can usually sustain them with little effort and the traffic they send is very targeted. If you’re entering an industry with a brand new site, the last thing you want to do is wait that long for some good search engine traffic.

Search engines have traditionally given them a nod of approval, pretty much across the board. I fully support Google’s attempt to fight search engine spam and to target low quality content farms, but article directories are not content farms. About Us What’s a Maverick? Article directories?

For those of you who don’t know why links are important, let me just say that if you want to get traffic from the major search engines, they’re crucial. Links from other sites to your site are basically a ‘vote’ that tell search engines you are trusted and you are a good resource for whatever your content is about.
