Screw Link Building, It’s Called Relationship Building!
Do you get queasy at the thought of the term “link building”? Well, maybe you’re thinking about link building the wrong way.
Try thinking about link building as a way to build value and loyalty with people in your vertical. Not only will it be a longer-term effort that just spamming people for links, but the effect will be longer lasting and way more authentic.
That was the overarching message from the Screw Link Building, It’s Called Relationship Building session last week at SES New York.
Speakers Erin Everhart (@erinever), director of web marketing, 352 Media Group, and Jo Turnbull (@SEOJoBlogs), founder, SEO Jo Blogs, explained how to build a relationship versus a link and broke down case studies to illustrate why relationship building is far more effective than the old ways of link building.

It can also be a life raft floating you to employment if you ever find yourself without a job.
Now I’m not saying because I enjoy networking I’m a pro, every one has lessons they’ve yet to learn, but after some personal trial and error, as well as watching others crash and burn. I’ve curated a few networking tips worth sharing.
