Hello everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to share a great resource for developing strategies for building quality backlinks for your website. This "tactic browser" allows you to choose the time frame you have to complete the backlink task(s), the quality/strength of the backlink and what that link is dependant on, such as content creation or a companies HR department, etc.

I should also note that the time frame options are slightly counter intuitive since they are all selected by default.

Orange = Selected

Grey = Not selected

So if you wanted faster link tactics only, you would click on "3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, etc" to make them grey so you would only see options marked to take 1-2 weeks to complete.

I was told not to use backlinks that just to use your content all the best

I was told the same buddy... and as I say I have used back links to no avail on a previous project only for it to harm me later... so I have shied away from the since,,

You can absolutely do just find without building backlinks. In the end your content really is the most important piece of the puzzle. Great content will gain natural backlinks without you having to do any sort of extra work for the links. And it can get dicey building backlinks if you go into the gray area and make some low quality links.

That being said, building strong backlinks can still be very beneficial. To use an example from the link in the original post, by becoming a columnist for a website that has authority in your field helps to establish you as an authority figure. Additionally, every post will have a link to your site in it. So instead of writing guest posts on a bunch of low level blogs, you're writing for a reputable source that Google already knows isn't spam a couple times a month.

Most magazines have websites that basically provide a free online version of their stuff. If you have great content on your site that you can show the editors of the magazine is engaging and building a following, putting time in for another company can be great exposure for you and generate tons of traffic for your site. Your goal should always be to help the reader, not please the search engines. Tactics like submitting links to directories fall under the gray area that could hurt you later. Teaming up with an established authority to help people is showing you care about your audience. It's a lot of extra work, but it pays dividends.

Hi there... I have seen this come up on the Activity Dashboard.. and OK .. I can see the importance of back-links.

In the past (few years ago) i tried to make use of them to no avail .. and since then I have stayed away.

Talking to many people on here at WA.. i think they will say the same ... but maybe I am wrong...

So - with your experience - what makes this a good program?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your comment. The link provided here isn't really a program so much as proven effective ways to gain valuable backlinks. What many SEOs refer to when discussing shying away from backlink building are low quality links. For example, buying links is never a good idea. A backlink is only beneficial if the site is an authority site and the citation is natural.

For example, local businesses can gain very valuable backlinks by adding their store & URL to sites like Yelp, Yellow Pages, etc.

The bad links are ones obtained through people claiming they'll add your site to 1,000 high PR blogs or websites for $X-amount.

Many of the strategies listed on the provided link are based around creating content for your own site in ways that attract users to want to link to your content.

Hope this helps!

It helps ... thanks for clarifying that for me :) .. ill take a look!!

Chris
