    We all know that SEO companies often build backlinks from LinkedIn, Facebook, and X accounts for their clients, but where else do you build backlinks for every client to help improve your clients organic SEO?

      As an SEO expert, I know how critical high-quality backlinks are for improving organic SEO. LinkedIn and Facebook are popular, but you must use multiple ways to build links.
      Finding niche-relevant backlinks from well-known websites in the same niche increases a client's credibility and exposure. Some strategies that work are guest posting on relevant blogs, working with leaders, and optimizing directories.
      Also, look into content partnerships and sponsorships in the same field as your client to get natural backlinks and more exposure. This varied approach will help with SEO and build trust in the business.

        When I started creating a backlink strategy for my website's link building, I started by following steps:

        1. I analyzed my competitors to find relevant websites . Then, I reached out to these websites to request backlinks

        2. Then, I created free backlinks through business listings, forums, and community platforms, as well as by submitting articles to free article submission websites.

        3. And at last I consistently acquire 2 to 3 niche-relevant backlinks each month.

        So, I recommend following these steps for a healthy backlink profile.

          What i recommend and using for luxury car rental dubai is search on competitors, i check the referring url's of big domains. Then if you filter on for example blog or bookmark you will find a lot of sites that you can use as backlinks (this are standard ones) but also sometimes there are very good backlinks visible

            Footer backlink for/to Web Design Agency

            seo tactics backlinks link building seo seo expert

            I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

            slug Link redirect to subdomain?

            redirect subdomain link building

            Hi !
            Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly. Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
            ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk. There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
            Any ideeas would be appreciated.
            Thanks in advance!

            My site DA did not increase even I built huge high-quality backlinks

            domain authority link building link explorer

            I have created a lot of high DA backlinks for my website for 3 months. But the DA of my site is still less than 40 and it has not changed for 2 months. Why does my site DA stop increasing as I build huge backlinks? How and when Moz will update the DA score? Are there any other ways to increase DA? My site: CouponBirds

            Unsolved Links to my website are wrong

            domain authority link building link building whitehat

            Hi, I have launch a new website, lorraine on october of 2021 and I have added it to a bunch a local and national directories to improme it local rankings. But when I get the domain authority and link data from MOZ it has only ten links and no one of them is from local/national directories. I have three questions: Do you know if it is normal that after 9 months DA is 1? Is there any problem with local/national directory links? I dont like buy links like others do but it seems the only way to improve domain authority and rankings.

            Do You Risk A Penalty From Local Paid Directories in 2022?

            local seo link building paid directories paid links directories

            Hi there, I have a client who wants to advertise in a local directory along the lines of "find your nearest plumber". The directory only has paid listings and they are follow links and they also mention your site or generated landing page may get a nice bump on google. Is there a risk that they may get a penalty for using this directory? The client wants to use it regardless of if it gives them an SEO boost but obviously wants to avoid any penalties at all costs. Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance
