Frustrations with backlinks

8 years ago

Do not worry too much about Backlinks!

Let the backlinks come Naturally. Focus more on creating High Quality Content. That is what matter more than backlinks!!!!

If you worry too much about getting the right backlinks, you are setting yourself up for frustration and kind of wasting your time!

Personally, I do not worry about backlinks AT ALL - and I still get good rankings and good organic traffic from Google.

Quick example; google "free solo ads that work" and you will see one of my blog posts ranking number one. I did not work on any backlinks for that post, AT ALL. And I'm still ranking high. Not just for that keyword, but related keywords like "free solo ads", etc.

I am telling you - do not worry too much about backlinks. All you are doing is taking more energy away from what is MORE IMPORTANT, and that is HIGH QUALITY CONTENT.

You need to deliver the best content for the search engine's main priority - and that is THEIR USER.

Over deliver high quality content to the search engine's user and the rest is history!

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply. I understand content is super important, I feel my content is pretty good. My website is quite new, but I can't find my website anywhere on google search! I would absolutely love to receive backlinks naturally but it's probably not gonna happen with 20 visitors a day

I know about the method where you ask someone to post your link on their site, but is there a single way to manually build good quality dofollow links?

You're obviously following advice from folks that don't rank pages. Nofollow links are useless for SEO.

Build your own PBN or learn how to get traffic to build links for you.

Well, at least one person knows what they're talking about in this thread.

I prefer not to hope and pray for links, personally I use white hat methods to get links. I prefer to use "PBN domains" as money sites and I'm extremely selective about what domains I buy.

Since I don't really do either for links (pbns or get traffic to build links to me), this requires me to do outreach to other sites who might potentially link to me. I have a large amount of web 2.0s that I personally built and I really don't use them much anymore, honestly, I don't feel PBNs are the right way to get links. If you think getting a good link involves filling out a form or using some tool, you are wrong. It generally requires direct interaction with another site owner.

Edit: This forum is really starting to get saturated with newbie or foreign completely clueless posters and it's really starting to get hard for me post here. I've banned this site with a local firewall a few times now. Real success comes through relationships with the right people. This is true with most businesses and it's true with SEO. If you think there's some magic trick to get to the top that doesn't involve communication with other people, sorry, it doesn't exist. Google has and will continue to work hard to remove any potential loopholes or tricks that do not involve real signals from real people/organizations.

Thanks

Alright, I understand that this is the most effective way to get links. I was just wondering if there was a way where I could just post effective dofollow links on my own, but I guess not.

To me this seems like you're asking is there an effective way to cheat? Not really. I don't know of any good ways to get quality links that doesn't require effort. PBNs work but it's costly and time consuming, especially if you want to maintain your rankings long term.

Edit: Recently one of my sites was getting outranked by some sites that were using low quality PBN sites for powerful links. Less than a month later, those sites are deindexed.

Thanks

Don't give up Dani, your website will be visible if you continue to work on it. 20 visitors will be 30 soon.

Thanks

Those are olden days where you have to build links in unnaturally way and you know there were always website that accepted links using "subit a link" "add a site", but now its GONE. (Excluding directories)

Now the main link building tactic is, write something great article, reach out the blog owners who posted similar content (old), and ask them to update or link your article (which is latest one).

And social signals are one more important factor here., though the links are nofollow, when your website is receiving traffic from those sources it is fine.,

Thanks

It doesn't matter whether if it is no follow or do follow links because both are links. The most important thing here is the information that will provided by the link, is it new? unique? interesting? as well as beneficial? These are the factors to be considered in generating quality links from great content.

Thanks

PBN's will get your site banned eventually.

Backlinks are still super important.

My advice would be to buy the Ultimate Link Building Guide by Eric Ward. It's a bit expensive but totally, totally orth it in my case.

Also google Neil Patel Link Building. He gives excellent strategies for free. Oh and check out Backlinco too.

Clueless nonsense.

Anyone that's not building up their own brand isn't serious about SEO or sales.

Look at BIG authority sites, they usually have a network of feeder sites. Example, animalplanet.com is part of a network of sites (below). Go to the animalplanet.com site & look at their footer (OUR SITES).

hxxp://www.ahctv.com
hxxp://www.animalplanet.com
hxxp://www.animalist.com
hxxp://www.destinationamerica.com
hxxp://www.discovery.com
hxxp://www.tudiscovery.com
hxxp://tv.discoveryfamilia.com
hxxp://kids.discovery.com
hxxp://www.discoveryfitandhealth.com
hxxp://discoveryfamilychannel.com
hxxp://www.investigationdiscovery.com
hxxp://www.oprah.com
hxxp://www.sciencechannel.com
hxxp://www.tlc.com
hxxp://www.velocity.com
hxxp://www.3net.com
hxxp://www.apl.tv
hxxp://news.discovery.com
hxxp://revision3.com
hxxp://testtube.com
hxxp://www.discoveryeducation.com
hxxp://www.discoverymusicsource.com
hxxp://www.discoveryaccess.com
hxxp://www.sourcefed.com

Think of your business as owning subsidiaries (legit feeder sites). Expand new sites as needed.

Keep in mind I've never once had a Google slap on any of my sites.

Thanks

Try guest posting. Get in touch with other bloggers in your niche, make friends with them and seek to contribute or guest post on their blogs. Put a link to your site in the guest post.

It should be much easier than PBN. PBNs require a lot of work and a lot of time and beyond that, a lot of maintenance.

No, don't do this. It's just a waste of your time...

Create good content (article, video, image), the kind of content that people will link to. Contact people who own sites in related niches and suggest your content will help their site visitors.

Or create your own PBN.
