Thanks Keszi for your great advice, I will take on board what you have considered and look at starting there. I have been told good quality content will produce its own backlinks eventually....

This is one of my posts on Linkedin about doing SEO for new sites.
Dont overthink it. Just get started with your site, then work your way towards building links.

I read a really good article by Neil Patel the other day on the very subject - it's from September, but all still relevant advice.

Hi Alec
Depending on what your website is about, I usually find it best to get links from partners and cooperators. Is someone distributing or using your product? Try to get them to state this on their site! Anyone you regularly cooperate with? Make sure they will say so on their site.
Careful not to overdo it with the link. Take it easy, create links step by step and don't get too many at once... -
Hi Alec,
IMO a good link is one that not only provides "link juice", but can provide referral traffic as well. Therefore when someone asks me where to start with link building, then I always try to guide them towards the concept of:
- Who is you target audience?
- What do they read?
- Do you have the linkable assets on your website, where you can provide them with unique value?
These are the prerequisites of a link building process. Only after you have answered these (and mainly to yourself), you can start thinking of how to connect your target audience with your assets.
Do not forget, that quality always wins against quantity. Do not try to create many links, with low value.
Also before you start building links, read as much as possible about Google updates.
Gr., Keszi

Am I better off with ten links from one site or one link from ten sites?
I am writing a series of linked-back articles for a highly-ranked web publisher, but wonder if I'd be better off sharing the articles across different sites. My goal is to grow our domain authority and SEO rankings.

OSE shows links on sites but can't find links
Hi mozzers, I'm cleaning up our backlink profile and looking up anchortexts in OSE. I downloaded and selected one anchortext. However when I go to the sites OSE found, I can't find the links. I look in the source code and onpage keywords. Is it because of my lack of skills that I can't find the links 🙂 or isn't OSE working properly.

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
