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

Links From Unrelated Sites
Ok, I know this has kind of been answered, but... I have a website that helps people find lawyers. I also have a lot of friends who are musiciansand singer songwriters. I could get these bands to link back to my page. Should I do this?

Backlinks - Linking to new domain
Hello Moz community! My established client recently franchised their business by adding a metro area location. We have thousands of back links built to the corporate website, a lot of which have anchor text that are geo-targeted to the new metro area website. We still find the corporate website important, but would rather focus our efforts now on the newly franchised location. Does anyone have experience with successfully having old links changed to a new domain and if so how? When changing directory listings, such as everything on get listed, is it better do do slowly or as much at once as possible? Any recommendations or information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Out-of-season link building
Hi all, We have a couple of seasonal websites (Artificial Christmas trees). Now, its fairly easy to develop good content that people are interested in when the season is approaching, and even easier mid season. However, this somewhat stalls when everyone has had their fill of Christmas, between Jan and Sept. So, my question is, how would you suggest an approach to link building for a seasonal ecommerce site such as this? Obviously my aim is to develop links now, so when September comes, the site is up there. Thank you 🙂

Local Link Building help!
Hi All, Looking for some help with where to begin link building for local small businesses. If the website is leading to a lawyer, doctor, or any type of professional service, I'm at a loss on where to start. I've tried looking into local directories, and I also know that if one of the clients has a reason for being linked in an online news article, those links should be pursued. Additionally, I've gone and helped to claim all local listings, and submitted to DMOZ and a few other directories. So if the website is just leading to a business that isn't running any events or specials worth writing about, what is the best way to acquire links? Thank you! Tyler
