A Snippet:

Today, in the final installment of this series, I'll explain how search engines use links to determine the popularity and authority of a web site. We're used to listening to friends, family and authorities to help us shape our opinion about people, places, products and services...why wouldn't search engines try to do the same?

Jennifer,

Thanks! I went back and read the series on why links matter. I have a pretty good understanding on why they are important but for the next step for a newbee is what? Basically with out rolling out where or how should I start organizing a campaign for building links? I am now trying out the best way to go about getting free links. Thanks again.

Joseph,

Well, I guess that answers the question of whether I should write more link basics articles.

Keep your eyes peeled, I'll try to get a new one up today or tomorrow.

[Joseph]

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out and do look forward to it.

I am an older, non-techy person who greatly appreciates your writing style. I actually understood the message. Thank you for writing in laymen's terminology! It compelled me to go read the first two articles. Again, thank you.

Hey jillybeans, so glad you found them handy! I just put up a new one yesterday that you might find handy as well, it's on using blog search engines to find sites to get links from...
