Question

What is Link Building in SEO?

Answer 1

Link building is the process of sourcing opportunities for referencing quality content on your site with hyperlinks from other relevant, high-authority websites.

Link building refers to the practice of intentionally gaining or acquiring inbound links, pointing to the pages of your website.

Links (technically short for “hyperlink”) are bits of text found in HTML with an “href” attribute. They can point to images, PDFs, and other types of files, but are more frequently used to point to web pages.

While you can (and should) establish internal links, making user navigation of your site easier, “link building” typically refers to building backlinks from other domains, pointing back to your pages.

It's no secret that link building services help SEO, but backlinks are not the only ranking factor.

Answer 2

From a statistical perspective, link building still ranks as a heavily-weighted factor for authority in search engine algorithms.

Links help to provide a vote of credibility and authority that other sites find your content assets valuable and worthy of a link.

However, links are certainly not everything when it comes to SEO. To use the oft-repeated cliche, "content is king!"

But, quality link building is important for content and SEO as a balanced way of showing all the right search engine signals for organic online exposure and revenue growth for your business.

So why would you consider a link building service in the first place? Link building comes with a variety of benefits, most notably for boosting the rankings of your pages in search engines.

Link Building for Search Engine Relevance.
Link building is best known in the context of SEO. In fact, it could be argued that SEO is practically impossible without implementing the right white-hat link building strategies. That’s because search engines take two main concepts into consideration when determining which pages to rank for a query: relevance and authority.

Relevance is a question of whether your content matches the search user’s intent, and is typically addressed with keyword optimization strategies.

Authority is a measure of how trustworthy your site is, and that trustworthiness is mathematically calculated in a system known as PageRank (in Google; other search engines tend to use something similar). PageRank is complicated, but it can be understood on some basic level as follows:

A page’s trustworthiness can be measured by the number of links pointing to that page, as well as the value of those links (i.e., links on high-authority sources tend to pass more authority than links on low-authority sources). In other words, without new, valuable links being added to your backlink profile (the number and location of links pointing to pages of your site), it’s nearly impossible to increase your rankings. Building links consistently, the “right” way, can greatly increase your rankings, sitewide.

Link Building & Content Marketing Referral Traffic.
Remember, links are primarily used as a way to get from one page to another on the web. Building more links means providing more opportunities for web users to see and click those links, which results in referral traffic.

If you’re building links on high-profile sources, and those links are valuable enough to users, you could end up generating hundreds to thousands of direct visits per month with your links.

Ancillary Benefits of Backlinks Outsource Services
Building links can also have secondary benefits.

For example, merely mentioning your brand in a visible article, even without people clicking the link, could result in more exposure from your brand. Building links can also introduce you to new publication opportunities, which can help you lift your personal reputation or find new promotional options for your best content.

So why would you consider hiring a link building service in the first place? An outsourced link service comes with a variety of benefits, most notably for boosting the rankings of your pages in search engines.

In short, link building services help to boost your exposure and traffic from humans and search engines.

Answer 3

There are literally dozens of link building strategies and tactics.

Because there are too many to enumerate here, we have outlined an entire post dedicated to the best link building strategies and tactics. Click the link to find out more.

There are several methods you can use to build links, but some link building is more valuable and more reliable than others.

The same is true for those who provide a service to acquire them.

Generally, backlinks fall into two main categories:

Earned Link Building

Earning links is all about creating content on your site that others will naturally want to include in a hyperlink for their own users.

For example, you might write a detailed guide on a niche topic, or publish original research.

Given enough publicity and enough inherent value, you can reasonably expect other high-authority sources to link to your work from guerrilla link building strategies.

This is advantageous, because it means your backlinks will appear inherently natural to search engines and users alike.

The best content marketing service companies earn links the right way.

However, it’s very tricky to pull off, and is unreliable; even with strong content, there’s no guarantee you’ll get the links you want.

Manual Link Building Services

The other option is manually building links. We have produced a detailed SEO link building guide for manual link building.

Tactics here range from spamming a link on a forum comment, promoting an infographic or getting an article featured on a prolific publication (with a link pointing back to your site).

Some of these link building tactics are schemes—gimmicks designed to manipulate your ranking in search engines.

Link building services like these are more likely to earn you a penalty, negating any value your link might have had in the first place.

But the more sophisticated techniques are designed to create genuine value for web users, which means they can build your site authority penalty-free while providing multiple benefits to creators and users alike.

Answer 4

The ranking factors for a specific page, targeting a specific keyword are too vast to enumerate here.

The number of built links to a specific page are only one component of the overall ranking factors for your site.

In addition, the number of links you may need to succeed in organic SEO can also be driven by how competitive your niche is, what the competitors are doing to rank in your niche and the relevance in comparison.

While it can be helpful to look at competing site pages, doing so will still not provide the complete answer to the question, "how many links will I need to rank?"--especially for a specific "money" phrase or keyword.

We recommend getting in touch with us so we can perform a more complete SEO audit of your site's content and backlinks so as to determine a recommended volume and budget that will get you closer to ranking against your competitors.

Answer 5

Many different link tags exist (e.g. rel=dofollow, nofollow, UGC, sponsored, etc.).

Each of these types of hyperlink tags send a different signal to search engines who may be following a site.

A Dofollow link is one that signals the webcrawlers to crawl through to the subsequent page while a Nofollow backlink tag signals to the crawlers that they should not follow to the linked-to page.

More importly, Dofollow links pass page authority from one page to another.

This means that a link from a website with no tag (default to Dofollow) or a tag of rel='dofollow' will provide some transfer of backlink authority to the linked-to page.

Answer 6

The total number of links required to rank in Google (or any of the other search engines) will be different depending on the existing authority of the website, the nature and competitiveness of the term(s) you are targeting and the authority of the links you are using.

All of these factors play a critical role, but they will be different for each website and landing page you want to rank. In addition, not all links are created equal, so focusing on the total number and quantity of acquired backlinks may not be the right strategy.

For instance a link from the New York Times will hold much more weight from an some obscure blogger that is offering paid post inclusion.

Let us perform a free keyword research audit to get a better gauge of what your site might need.

Answer 7

As previously discussed, link building remains a correlated search rankings factor with Google.

As such, link building services are still an important aspect of improving website rankings in the search engines.

When it comes to SEO, link building is very much alive and well.

Answer 8

Using expired domains with existing links is a black hat strategy and one which we work to avoid by proper filtering.

However, expired and/or existing domains can be a better way to fast track the results of your search engine optimization.

It really depends on your strategy, but caution is advised when it comes to looking to rank by building links from expired domains that have been redesigned with that purpose in mind.

Answer 9

The short answer is yes, but remember social media sites--while good for traffic and eyeballs--typically only offer Nofollow links.

As a result, the authority and rankings increases you may be seeking from building links through social media will be non-existent.

Yes, build links from social media, but don't expect doing so to improve your SEO.

Answer 10

Directory sites are notoriously spammy and Google knows it.

We advise avoiding most directly submissions as a means of building links whenever possible.

While some link building directories may be worthwhile for link building, many are a complete waste of time and money.

Answer 11

We use a multi-factor assessment when reviewing whether a site is worthy of usage in a link building campaign. Apart from Domain Authority (Moz) or Domain Rating (Ahrefs), we also look at other credibility and traffic factors, industry relevance, IP address neighborhoods and a host of other metrics we outline here in our guest blogging quality assessment guide.

Answer 12

Yes.

There is still a strong correlation to your rankings in search and the links you are able to build and acquire that point to your website.

However, it is only one of many factors in assessing the relevancy of your site compared to others in online search.

Answer 13

Our link building outreach services include a focus on:

1) authority of the link building publications
2) traffic of the link building publications
3) niche relevance of the link building publications

In today's complex world of SEO, link building one of many signals used by search engines. The best link building services take a holistic and balanced approach, providing link building consulting for on and off-site backlinks as well as ensuring your link building profile and link building anchor text don't just appear natural. Your link building should actually be natural.

Answer 14

Because no two companies, industries, competitors or websites are the same, a one-size-fits-all approach to pricing for link building services is nearly impossible.

Instead, a holistic assessment for link building pricing and costs based on a complete on and off-site analysis of existing content and backlinks--juxtaposed with competitors' link building strategies-- will help webmasters and seasoned SEOs determine an appropriate budget for any on-going link building service campaign.

In competitive industries, larger link building campaign budgets will likely be required to appropriately move the SEO needle.

Alternatively, smaller link building budgets can be more appropriate for local SEO link building and link citation campaigns where link building competition is lower and the number of backlinks required to compete are more easily acquired.

Most important is for website owners to understand that inexpensive SEO pricing for link building services is typically a direct reflection of link building quality. Beware of budget SEO link building services where the link building is shoddy and link building pricing is "too good to be true."

Such backlink services are more likely to hurt than to help your overall search engine optimization efforts.

Answer 15

Answer 18

No. A natural link profile will include a healthy mix of both dofollow, nofollow, UGC and sponsored backlinks.

While we focus on earning links that drive authority and link equity to your website, not all links are focused on dofollow.

Yes, we can help obtain locally-relevant link citations to help you rank for terms that are geographically relevant to your website and its intended audience.

We do this by by first optimizing your on-site pages for relevance in Google My Business (GMB) listings with appropriate NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information, targeting your local market.

The best local SEO will require the best available local links.

Answer 23

Our expert link building service also includes ample feedback, reporting, measurement and analysis.

If you want to be successful in SEO, it’s not enough to start placing links whenever and wherever they’re convenient; instead, you need to think carefully about the sources you’re using, the pages you’re targeting, and how you’re going to grow your reputation.

You’ll need to keep a close eye on your backlink profile, watching for low-authority sources you don’t want contributing to your score, and measure the value of each backlink you build by monitoring your growth in both search engine rankings and referral traffic.

Google doesn’t offer a robust SEO backlink checker, but you can find several third-party tools meant to help you analyze your backlink profile (and possibly analyze those of your competitors).

Pay close attention to which links have been most valuable to you, which links have underperformed, and look for opportunities for future growth.

Search engines are getting better and better at knowing whether a backlink was acquired naturally or if it was gained through a black hat link building service.

We make sure placements through our link building services are contextually relevant to the publisher, include natural anchor text, add value to the story and also consider co-citation and co-occurrence.

Backlinks from the best link building services should not just look natural, they should actually be natural.
