What is link building?

For search engines that crawl the web, links are the streets between pages. Using sophisticated link analysis, the engines can discover how pages are related to each other and in what ways.

Google's founders created an algorithmic method to determine importance and popularity based on several key principles(http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html):

Links on the web can be interpreted as votes that are cast by the source for the target

All votes are, initially, considered equal

Over the course of executing the algorithm on a link graph, pages which receive more votes become more important

More important pages cast more important votes
The votes a page can cast are a function of that page's importance, divided by the number of votes/links it casts
