- Advanced link building
- by Frederick Townes. Webcredible, June 2006. "Ask Google - search engines love links. Of course, they love some links more than others. For example, a simple link exchange (reciprocal link) doesn't have as much value and doesn't receive the same weight as a non-reciprocal (one-way) link - the theory being that a one-way, in-bound link is a recommendation from a site owner to visit this linked site. The link, itself, is testament to the quality of the site being referred..."

- by Eric Ward. Search Engine Land, June 4, 2007. "Before we go further, the bottom line.

- You Can Build It, But They May Not Come
- By Sage Lewis. Search Engine Watch, May 10, 2007. "My point of all this is, Link Love will not just come to you – even if you create something amazing and interesting to your target audience. As you sit back, somewhat exhausted, to admire what you've created, it might be easy to fall prey to the mentality that if it's cool enough, people will find it and be inspired to link to it. Wrong. You've got to get out there and seed the interest. It's a simple concept, but it can be difficult to take time to let others know about your masterpiece when you've spent all your time creating it..."

- Why Links Matter - Part 3
- By Jennifer Laycock. Search Engine Guide, March 22, 2007. "In part one, I explored the idea of links as the threads of the web, helping both search engines and humans find their way from one site to another.

Today, in the final installment of this series, I'll explain how search engines use links to determine the popularity and authority of a web site..."

- Posted by Vanessa Fox. Official Google Webmaster Central Blog, 15 March 2007. "For quite a while, you've been able to see a list of the most common words used in anchor text to your site. This information is useful, because it helps you know what others think your site is about. How sites link to you has an impact on your traffic from those links, because it describes your site to potential visitors.

- When do inbound links dictate ranking
- By Ross Dunn. Internet Search Engine Database, 25 October 2006. ""We have been told by an SEO consultant that, once the number of inbound links becomes significant, this rather than any SEO optimisation of the site itself dictates ranking for search terms. How true? If so, it implies that, to make any changes in rankings and search terms, we need to devote effort to links and link text from appropriate sites (authority etc). It implies time spent on adjusting title tags, keyword density etc, is fruitless."..."
