By We all love infographics. They come in lots of shapes and colors, simplify the complex, and tend to result in piles of killer backlinks for their publishers. Case in point, they've motivated me to link to a variety of competitors due to their fine work with this very blog post. This week, I'd like to share with you 10 of my favorite link building infographics, each of which convey similar SEO concepts in hugely different ways. Enjoy!
