How does linking help?

[metafile]

I saw a major link exchange site but I am confused. How does submitting your subject specific link to a portal with everything improve your search ranking or results?

A major link exchange site? What site is that? Will you share it here please? Anyways, linking helps by increasing traffic in your site. That's how important it is. Its also sometimes called back linking.

That's right. So in short, linking is about improving your site ranking in search engines. Its also about exposure to your blog if you want to. There are many ways of doing linking and its advised to do so since its easy, and a great help.

I am not sure about the exact mechanics of how it works, but I know that links to your site improve your search engine ranking and thus bring more traffic, just as others have said above. A good site with great content will do well, but it will do much better when people start linking to it.

Linking really helps you improve your rank on search engines but for all I know, it does not apply to all search engines. For example, there's a certain kind of linking that you should do for Google.

Well, for one thing there's the blog. When you visit a blog you have to write your name and email address right? And there's also the option of URL. You can put the link of your site there. That's one way of linking.
