We all know that we're supposed to build links in order to get our pages ranking well in the Google results. But how exactly are we supposed to build those links? Of course, you can simply point every link you place in an article resource box, video description or on a bookmarking site at the same page. But there are some slightly more sophisticated strategies that allow you to get a lot more out of your link building efforts.

The second video is about the difference between growing sites (authority sites) and minisites. Distinguishing between these two is essential to how you set up your entire backlinking campaign.

Cheers,
