  Friends Reunited Relaunches: Will It Work Though?

  

  Today is the day that Friends Reunited, the first UK social network, relaunches. The former social networking giant has given itself a lick of paint, and a whole new feel to it, focussing on nostalgia and memories.

  What’s difficult to believe is that Friends Reunited, which launched in 2000, was the UK’s first social network and went on to become one of the most popular too; in 2005 it boasted over 15 million users.

Right now, anyone performing SEO or working on a campaign will be looking at ways in which they can build links to the site they are looking to optimise. Now the age old debate in SEO link building is whether you should focus on quantity of links, or quality of links, or a blend of the two.

Of course the number of backlinks a website has is important, but there is a need to focus on quality links as well. Why you should do this and how it can be achieved will be discussed.
