How to build backlinks?

Livingston Peters said:

Hey guys, I'm new to IM. Working on building an amazon review site. I basically have the site built with my first post but I need to work on SEO. I think I understand backlink building. Basically you write some content on different web 2.0 sites then link to your website with the keyword. I was wondering if theres anything more to this that I have to take into consideration? Or is there already a thread on here explaining the basics.

Also, I see that there's a section to pay for backlinks to be built for me. Is it even worth spending the time to build the links myself or should I just pay for it to be build for me if I can afford it?

Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend taking a course to understand the theory behind off-site SEO.
How I rank sites now is simple: do what seems the most natural.

1. Build a site with content - each page on your site should be at least 1,000 words
2. Build social signals to said content - this will show that your website is being seen and is popular
3. Build web 2.0s & forum links to your site for diversity - this is how you build a foundation
4. Build guest posts to your money pages with exact/partial match keywords - this is where the power comes in
5. (optional) Build PBN links to the most lucrative pages - this is inexpensive, but risky, way to build power
6. Repeat
