Is Link Building Making Blog Spam?

For getting good traffic people do link building. Some times it makes Blog Spam. So, we should have some minimum Knowledge about Link Building. Quality of links is more important than quantity. I don't think there is any rule about exactly how many links one can have coming into one's site. If you are concerned about search engine rules, the thing to keep in mind is whether your incoming links are relevant to your site's theme or not. For example, if your site highlights your experience in teching, get links from teching institutes. Links from sites selling T-Shirts or other are not going to be good and could possibly get you penalized. Be careful to avoid sites which have no content, only links to other sites. These are generally sites built on a domain name related to some type of business. If the owner of the domain name doesn't have any content about the basic concept of Blog and doesn't intend to put any up and just want to sell links to businesses. Google considers such sites spam and allegedly deletes them from its index, although I've found quite a few of them on Google searches. But they're definitely something to avoid. You'd need to seek them out and give them money to list your site so you don't have to worry about being listed in one without your knowledge or consent. You can find out who's linking to your site by going to a Google search page and typing in link:yourdomainname. Don't use www, just the domain name and extension, eg., .com or .org. You can do the same search in other engines but I can't remember which ones have that feature.
