Natural link building after Google Penguin 2.0

After Penguin 2.0 updates, everyone feels – link exchange is a BAD idea.

Link building online (virtual bonds) or real-life bonding with human beings works the same way.

As the adage goes - A person is KNOWN by the company he keeps. The concept is nothing different with Google and websites that link from one to the other.

One should build up links with websites that are relevant to one’s website. A wrong company or inappropriate website (with spam) will be of no use to anyone.

Google is not in opposition to natural link building, but SPAM websites. To solicit links through payment to increase page rank is illegal, and Google web-spam team may argue and take action against such websites.

On the other, if websites provide relevant content to the Internet users, and have natural inbound links from others (without any payment) then Google should have no problem with websites.

Matt and the web-spam team of Google are after unnatural and paid links. What do readers think about it?
