| Links between websites are a fundamental part of the web. In fact links are what make the web a web. Inbound links are a critical part of the search engine algorithm for determining the importance of a page. It is fair to say that without any incoming links your site will not rank at the search engines.
In addition, search engines find your site by following inbound links to your site from other sites that the search engines already know about. Although there are other ways of adding your site to the search engine index the best way is to get a link from an existing site that is already indexed.
