        Hi

        If you seriously want to start building links I would advice you to start learn the basics. No pain - no gain. Nobody is just going to link you because you need some links.

        Interesting resources from Moz include:

        The beginners guide: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

        All the resources that are referenced on this page: http://moz.com/blog/category/link-building

        Adding 2 links to your site on this blog won't help you - all the links in the Moz Q&A are nofollow. You might want to check the configuration of your site - when I click on the link is get the message: "Resource limit reached". When I was able to visit - the site looked like a spam site with very low quality content - if you don't improve the quality of the site nobody with sense is going to link to you.

        Dirk

          Hi there

          Follow backlinks are links that pass equity to your website. Nofollow backlinks do not, although sometimes search engines ignore this, although rarely.

          Here's what I would review if I were you:
          Learn SEO (Moz - your website needs a lot of work) Learn Academy (Moz)
          Follow Links Vs. No Follow Links: Should You Care? (Wordstream)
          Beginner's Guide to Link Building (Moz)
          The Hidden Power of Nofollow Links (Moz)
          How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nofollow (Moz)

          One thing I will say - do NOT ignore getting links because they are nofollow. I really want you to know that. Reason being, a "good" link comes in many forms - one of those forms might potentially be "nofollow". I highly suggest reading this post from Rand Fishkin regarding link building, a lot of it still stands. I added some of my thoughts on this subject in another question and answer on this forum, please read.

          Again, as your site needs a lot of work, I would heavily focus on your design (especially responsive), your architecture & internal linking, and looking at your analytics / Webmaster Tools to learn what is bringing users to your site, so you can have a guided strategy.

          Now, there is a LOT here. You have a lot to catch up on - that's totally fine! But please, read everything here, learn as much as you can, and don't be completely set on only doing link building out of the gate.

          Let me know if this all helps! Take your time, have fun, and good luck!
