Link building is the most common practice in SEO, having backlinks and building fresh links are vital when trying to gain a higher rankings for keywords, even more so when they are more competitive terms. It takes a lot of time to build good backlinks and you need a constant supply of them, search engines need to be finding and indexing new backlinks to your website, every day if possible. Having a steady increase in the number of backlinks your website has is very important in order to have a website which looks natural to the search engines.
Let's face it, link building is a time consuming process and you've got a website to run. If you're building links on your own you will find yourself working a very long time on your website. That time could probably be better spent improving your site.
I'm sure you've heard people say "just outsource", but outsourcing sounds expensieve and boy can it be. There are tons of SEO companies out there who are happy to build backlinks to your websites and charge crazy prices for their service.
But what if you could get backlinks at an affordable price? Link building is something you'll always have to do. Until you either sell the website, or it dies out, you need to be building more backlinks to it, otherwise you'll slowly drop of the rankings because your website will look more inactive
Just as a test, work out how much time you spend link building per day and how much time you spend working on other things; I've always found I spend more time link building, so when I was able to get backlinks cheap, I've been able to spend a load more time on working on the websites, instead of just building links to them.
