This will be a brief thread as it doesn't require much elaboration.
I still notice that the majority of people are fixated on acquiring low-quality links such as forum posts, comments, mass-produced PBNs, and so-called "guest posts" that are actually published on spammy websites designed for selling links.
It appears that many people fail to understand the crucial importance of link quality in link building. The truth is that websites do not rank highly merely because they have thousands of referring domains. This is either a byproduct of their ranking or the result of them acquiring a large number of low-value links alongside good ones.
In reality, only a handful of high-quality links typically account for 90-95% of a website's link profile and contribute significantly to its ranking success.
Acquiring hundreds upon hundreds of low-quality links is unlikely to result in any significant ranking improvement. Conversely, obtaining just 4-5 highly relevant contextual links from authoritative websites can provide a substantial boost to your rankings. This is because Google avoids the vast majority of links and instead looks for a small subset of signals that indicate trust and authority.
In fact, you're better off securing only 2-3 high-quality links each month rather than building a hundred low-value contextual links. Unfortunately, the SEO community is often slow to adopt new strategies and continues to rely on outdated techniques such as web 2.0s, profile links, and directory links - all of which have been ineffective for a considerable period of time.
If you're looking to succeed in link building, my advice is to avoid purchasing worthless link packages and instead focus on acquiring a handful of top-quality contextual links each month.
The key to acquiring valuable links is to produce high-quality informational content that people will naturally want to link to. Highly commercial pages are less likely to attract links, regardless of whether or not you're paying for them. The best websites to acquire links from typically do not sell guest posts, as they earn revenue through other means. On the other hand, many websites that accept low-quality posts and sell links are part of large networks established to make money from selling links. Some of these sites even accept free guest posts and monetize their content through ads. This approach is inexpensive to maintain, and there are countless people looking to purchase "links".
In terms of link value, a high-quality niche site with a domain rating (DR) of 5 to 50 and a monthly traffic of 5k to 30k is more beneficial than a DR70 spam site, regardless of the latter's traffic volume. Guest post sites are known to inflate traffic figures by targeting high-volume, low-competition keywords with content that has little value to readers. A genuine topical site that ranks for a few thousand relevant keywords and attracts a few thousand visitors a month will do far more for your rankings.
Therefore, content quality is critical, regardless of your niche. Even if you operate a mundane plumbing site, you can still create countless useful pieces of content.
There are countless ways to enhance the quality of your website and make it more appealing for acquiring high-quality links. While outreach and payment are still necessary, people are more likely to link to valuable content. Real bloggers are unlikely to link to a plumbing website's homepage with an anchor text like "plumber nyc."
However, a plumbing website can produce a wealth of DIY content that extends beyond plumbing. By obtaining links to this informative content and organizing your site's structure correctly, you can channel an enormous influx of link juice throughout your site, improving the ranking of both commercial and informational pages.
Despite the availability of effective strategies, many people still resort to purchasing packages of web 2.0s and foundational links for their plumbing clients, instead of focusing on creating high-quality content and acquiring valuable links.
If you shift your SEO mindset and adopt a content-first approach, you can achieve remarkable results and surpass your competitors. It's time to change how you think about SEO and start producing exceptional content that will attract valuable links and drive organic traffic to your website.
