How to gain quality links to your website

Gaining quality links to your website, also known as back links, is one of the most effective search engine optimization strategies. Having quality links to your website will increase your Google PageRank, help your website be found on search engines, and increase traffic. Fortunately there are ways to encourage quality back links to your website; a focus on quality content and social awareness can help you gain quality links to your website.

Quality Content
One of the most important and effective strategies for encouraging quality links to your website is by having quality content that other websites will want to link to. With the huge focus on keywords and keyword density, this seemingly obvious strategy often takes a back seat and is not given the respect it deserves.

By the numbers: Do we have Facebook fatigue?

That's one possibility suggested by monthly growth data from Inside Facebook, which reports that Facebook gained only 320,000 new U.S. users in June after a blockbuster gain in May of more than 7.8 million.

Moreover, the net's dominant social networking site lost active users in the 18-25, 26-34 and 35-44 demographic ranges, while gaining users in their mid-teens and middle years.

One possibility is that the May and June controversies over Facebook's privacy policies and dominance have kept the company from tremendous new growth and even led some to curtail their use.
