In order to maximize results, seriously consider monthly link building activities for your listing. Today’s major search engines monitor incoming links from other relevant and/or quality websites as a major to establish ranking. Continued link building serves the purpose of improving, as well as sustaining, your rankings. Initial link building will probably provide good rankings for the following 3-8 months, but at some point the search engines will notice that there is no longer a growth in the links pointing to your listing and your rankings will drop.
It is possible to manage link building yourself, but it takes time to do it right. To maximize your long term results, based on your budget, consider an outsourced link building projects. For example, one cost-effective place to go is www.upwork.com and post a project for link building. If you don’t need high PR authority links, your project description might look something like this to get the links you need at the lowest price.
