Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Few days back I got a very interesting email from a very renown Internet Marketer, Spencer Haws(See the actual email and link to the blog Below).

The email was about backlinks. He advices that don't waste your time in building links for SEO, rather invest your time to create more and more content around long tail keywords to get traffic from SEO..

In WA, we are taught to target low hanging fruit keywords that have low competition and easy to rank. Kyle never ever told us to build links to our sites for ranking high in Search Engines.

I know many successful marketers(both in WA and outside WA) who say that without building backlinks you cannot get huge traffic or great success in SEO.

They create their blog and courses around the topic "how to create Backlinks for your site by outreach and various other methods " and usually sell their courses on high prices.

Few names that are striking my minds are Brian Dean, Chris Lee, Tung Trang and many more.. who always preach about backlinks.

I don't know whether backlinks boost ranking or not because I never built them and not needed too.There is nothing wrong in acquiring backlinks naturally and if your content is good you get links automatically. But I think it is not right to teach people that they must build backlinks.

But is it possible to rank high in search engine and make money from SEO without building a single links to your site?.

Answer is -Yes.

I am not saying it. I actually got the proof from the person who is not from WA and he doesn't even promote WA as well. But he is saying the same thing as WA taught us.The person about whom I am talking about is Spencer Haws. He is a very successful Internet marketer and the founder of very famous keyword tool, "Long tail Pro". Many of you may know him or follow his blog.
