Love it or hate it, link building is still an important part of SEO after the massive Google Panda updates.
The quality of your inbound links is becoming more important as Google Panda updates have shown us. Although these updates are aimed at getting rid of “content farms” and lower quality links, many people’s rankings have been hurt by the recent Google Panda 2.2 updates.

Back to my point of link building – it’s crucial to continue your efforts on a consistent basis. Here are a few good link building resources that are sure to be helpful.
