With an abundance of overwhelming info available online I have gotten really confused about what would work and what would not.

I’m a bit confused about link building strategies and implementation of high DA links and why it’s best to get links from well established websites yet I see competition profiles full of what looks to be spammy links, paid blog list etc, am I right in thinking it’s best to have more dofollow than no follow and what’s the significance of the ratio of number of referring domains to number of backlinks why do only some show up on different tools used?

@Ranilulu we are a B2B ecommerce company too. I feel we should focus more on technical seo and real content. Something your customers will read over and over again. It takes real experience (technical) and time to write such content however I feel even one quality article like this which truly helps customers in your market will go a long ways in increasing your visibility organically. We do this too. Sam from <a href="https://www.ucanpack.com/">Ucanpack</a>

@Tom-Capper What would be your approach if you have a site on a brand new domain like https://coinlabz.com/ ? I believe we publish good and linkable content, but since the site metrics are low, it will be harder to acquire links naturally.
What would you recommend?

Hey there!
Your backlink strategy can involve a variety of tactics, such as creating high-quality content that other websites will want to link to, reaching out to other website owners and asking for links, or participating in link building campaidgns or exchanges.
It's important to note that not all backlinks are created equal, and having a high number of low-quality links can actually harm your website's SEO. Therefore, it's important to focus on acquiring relevant, high-quality backlinks from reputable websites.
I wouldn't know what your strategy should be as I don't know what your final goals are. Though here you can find some actional steps that are included in almost every link-building strategy:
Creating high-quality content: One of the best ways to acquire backlinks is by creating valuable and informative content that other websites will want to link to. This can include things like in-depth research articles, informative blog posts, infographics, and videos.
Guest blogging: Another way to acquire backlinks is by guest blogging on other websites in your industry. This is a great way to get your content in front of a new audience and to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry. When you guest blog, you can typically include a link back to your own website in your author bio or in the body of the post.
Broken link building: This strategy involves identifying broken links on other websites in your industry, and then reaching out to the website owner to let them know about the broken link and suggesting a replacement link to one of your own pages.
Direct Outreach: Reach out to website owners, editors, and other relevant contacts, and ask them to link to your content.
One thing to remember is that link-building is not an easy task, it requires time, effort and a well-thought strategy. It's a long-term strategy, and the results may take some time to appear. So don't give up if you don't see immediate results, it's just not how things work in this business.

Sorry for the slow reply.
You can definitely obtain relevant traffic from sites like these, but links are likely to be nofollow.

@haris313 said in Backlinking Strategy:
What should be my link-building strategy?
Link building is the process of acquiring links from other websites to your own website, with the goal of improving your search engine rankings and driving traffic to your site. However, it's important to note that not all links are created equal, and the quality of the links you acquire can have a significant impact on your website's performance.
Using a tool like https://rush-analytics.com/land/backlinks-spam can be helpful for identifying and analyzing links to your website, but it's important to use this tool as part of a comprehensive link-building strategy, rather than relying on it as the sole source of information.
Here are a few strategies you might consider as part of a link-building campaign:
Publish high-quality, informative content that other websites will want to link to.
Reach out to other websites and ask for links, but be sure to provide value in return (such as linking to their content from your own site).
Participate in relevant online communities and forums, and provide valuable insights and resources that others will want to link to.
Use social media to promote your content and encourage others to share your links.
Monitor your backlinks using the tool and actively work to remove any spammy or low-quality links pointing to your website.
It's important to approach link building with a long-term perspective, as it can take time and effort to build a strong, diverse link profile. However, by following best practices and focusing on creating high-quality content and relationships, you can develop a link-building strategy that will help drive traffic and improve your website's search engine performance.

@Tom-Capper
I have read your advice.
I take this opportunity to consult you:
Do you think that sites like reedit, quora or forums like that can send some relevant traffic to blogs in Spanish?
A few months ago I started https://mundocm.net/telefonos-servicio-al-cliente-falabella/ and I'm having a hard time finding relevant sites to ask for a link.
Sometimes, what is more difficult is to find relevant sites from the country where the blog's theme is aimed.
If you have any suggestions, it would be appreciated. -
It's certainly possible to attain a DA 30. My recommendation is find similar sites in your niche that have at/around DA 30 and dig into their backlink profile, see how many backlinks and what number DA's associated. After you've done your research, come up with a strategy similar to that. It's the exact method I'm using for a domain like: [https://ruffrug.com](link url)
-
@irau creating longer form articles with illustrations or graphics is a really good suggestion. Thank you so much for it. I'll have to manage it by myself one way or the other until I build a good reliable team of my own.
-
@Tom-Capper Thank you so much for your time. I'll start working on some good shareable resources right away!!
-
@haris313 Certain backlinks can shoot your DA right up to 45, which a solid score, but doesn't guarantee valuable traffic by any means.
I recommend creating longer form articles with illustrations or graphics to make reading them more dynamic.
This can be very time consuming for just one person, so it helps to have another team member assisting with developing topics, proof reading and helping with graphics.
-
In some ways, aiming for a specific DA is probably not the right approach. DA is a useful metrc for predicting how well a site might rank against another, all things being equal, but there's a lot of nuance to what might help you succeed for a given query.
That said, for newer sites, some links are certainly helpful. There's no one way to go about it.
I'd suggest for a new blog, start by producing some resources you feel others might find useful, entertaining, or otherwise remarkable. Then, find ways to get these in front of people who might consider linking to you from their own sites - perhaps share the resources with your social media followers, email journalists from relevant publications, or engage with platforms like Reddit or forums.

Do links on Reference.com and Ask.com count as backlinks?
Hi there Just had a quick question about links on Reference.com or Ask.com. I have been looking at my competitors link profiles to get ideas of who and where I should/could be linking from. One of my main competitors seems to have links on Reference.com and Ask.com which are being listed in there profile. Reference.com are dofollow. Our site is also appearing on these sites, but the links are being listed under our profile. We have been up and running for more that 3 years now. The obviously have high DR and I think must be a contributing factor to their rank, having looked at other links in their profile. It seems strange because I thought these sites are effectively search engines and therefore wouldn't count towards your backlink profile? Can anyone explain? Would be most grateful if someone can. Many thanks in advance. Clojo

Impact of distribution of backlinks across multiple pages
Community, I would be interested to see if anyone has been seeing any experiments, experience documentation, or other data that would give context around the impact of pointing backlinks not just to your money page / home page but distribute it across pages. When doing competitive research I often run into competition which has lower domain strength and page rank but a link profile that is more spread out across their domain; these competitors often outrank my site despite their individual page properties being weaker. Any reference to existing documented experiments, personal experience or guidance is welcome.

Backlinks through dofollow commenting
I'm interested in building backlinks to my photography business site by leaving good, engaging comments on other photographers' DoFollow blogs. Is this a good idea? Is it worth the effort? Through a little research, I've managed to locate more than 40 dofollow photographer blogs that have a domain authority of 35+. The idea is to take an hour or so a week to leave 10-20 comments on their blog posts. Would you consider this a good strategy? I rank on the first and second page of most of my keywords that I'm working on, but I want to rank 1st or 2nd on them. I used the keyword finder tool on google adwords to find the keywords that are the most searched for in my area. Surprisingly the competition is not large, so I'm fairly comfident I can get there. I've already optimized my site substantially and I'm looking into link building. Thoughts?

Hidden Backlinks
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. We have a competitor who appears to be ranking No1 for a competitive search term with a very lame site and above some authoritative sites. He has been here for some time as well. When we check out his back link profile through OSE, Majestic and Ahrefs they show as only 3 backlinks from no PR sites. However, someone pointed out that they could be using a link network that is blocking every crawler apart from Google, Yahoo and BIng. I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this. For instance I know that we can use screaming frog to mimic Googlebot, however, if there a way to reveal the real backlinks to a site like this using any tools. Thanks

How important are edu and gov backlinks?
I have heard that edu and gov backlinks are important but how so in a niche area like mine - real estate? Perhaps I am missing the point but I do not see how either type of site would ever backlink to a commercial real estate entity. If these are that important in theory, are they obtainable in practice?
