Today link building is a common term used everywhere. Especially in search engine optimization industry it’s important to be aware of the term link building. Like team building link building is the process of building relationship with other sites so that they link to you. Linking to your website benefits your website since search engines feel external links to your website as a potential quality vote for your website. Good quality votes are very important for top search engine rankings.

- Good quality reciprocal link building: Reciprocal link building has been here for years and its here to stay. This is of course the most economical way to build quality links. A good link builder uses various methods than just the age old way of sending same type of emails to everyone without even changing the subject. I hope you are well aware one good link is equal to 100 low quality links. Its good to take time to research sites ask them individually by sending them a custom email, you can call their number and talk to them and if they are willing for a link swap just go for it.
- One way links are hard to get but if done the right way you can get lots of free one way links. Think of ways in everyday life where you can get links. E.g. craigslist can give free links, submit your site to social bookmarking sites where it can be picked up by other bloggers, participate in forums, Google groups, yahoo answers all give free links, post a job posting it can give a free link to your site. Review other sites or products in Alexa, Amazon, eopinion etc. I am sure those places allow you to post a link also lot of people notice those places so it’s good to show your appeal there.
- You can join your local chambers of commerce or sponsor any education or cultural organization they are happy to provide free links to you.
- All nonprofit organizations if given a decent donation are happy to link to you; you can try contacting them too.
- Publish articles in good ezines they are happy to provide links for quality content.
- Give away freebies on website, free software are always a good attraction and a very good way to build back links to your website.

We were happy to give him the link there are lot of areas you can find links like this.
To be a good link builder you need to have patience and be persistent I hope you become a successful link builder.
Google blocks access to paid Android apps on developer phones

Mobile developers who purchased an unlocked HTC G1 phone from Google discovered this week that they can't run paid applications from the Android Market.
Google is denying those developers access to copy-protected applications sold in the Android Market because developers have a higher level of access to the G1 phone than regular users, and could potentially break the copy protection on those applications, according to IDG News Service. "We aren't distributing copy-protected applications to these phones in order to minimize unauthorized copy of the applications," a Google representative said in a statement sent to CNET.
Developers willing to join the Android developer program for $25 can buy an unlocked G1 handset for $399. That version of the device also apparently allows them access to a special folder where paid applications are stored away from the prying eyes of regular customers who may be interested in breaking the copy-protection on those applications.
For that reason, Google has simply blocked those using the unlocked G1 from downloading paid applications from the Android Market. That didn't sit well with some developers on a thread on Google's Android Forums, who felt Google was unfairly portraying them as pirates while also denying them the ability to download their own paid applications on the Android Market.
It doesn't appear that the ban on paid applications extends to those who have unlocked the retail version of the G1, at least not as of yet.
Aside from technology, music is my biggest passion. Growing up, I spent countless hours watching music videos on MTV. Music videos, which pretty much saw their heyday come and go between 1985 and 1995, are still created by today's artists, though they get less air time on MTV, VH1, and their affiliated 
networks. That's why MTV launched MTVMusic.com, an online repository of thousands of videos. While that's a great place to go watch some music videos, labels think it would be nice to have other legitimate options.
Enter YouTube.
YouTube long has been a popular place to watch music videos, but many of those posted to the video-sharing site aren't being officially provided or licensed by the artists and their labels. Universal and Google are hoping to change that. Sources cited by The Wall Street Journal indicate that the two are deep in talks about a licensing deal.
