Everyone in the race for top search engine placement knows that an absolutely critical component of effective search engine optimization is link popularity.

The more high quality links that point to your website, the better. Google and other major engines use link popularity to tell which websites are legit, and which ones do not warrant any traffic.

It can be a little tedious to find really good directories to list your website, thus giving you a backlink. There are many directories that are not even search engine friendly, and a link from one of these sites is worthless.

The best link building resource that I have seen is a free website called The Info Vile Silencer.

Here you will find hundreds of high quality directories that are all SEO friendly. No wasted time, no wasted links.

And you will also find a great forum at this site that talks about many valuable SEO topics that all webmaster will likely be interested in.

If you are a new webmaster and trying to get your website noticed so that it will begin its climb up the rankings, aim to get at least 30 links. The more the better, but that should be your minimum goal.
