Thanks for the great tips. I keep getting a colleague trying to convince me for creating a PBN…you are playing with fire here, and your hard earned efforts will quickly be diminished by this risk.

I like that you brought up disguised blog comments. I really cannot believe spammers are still doing this!

Thinks for sharing!

I enjoyed this read.

SEO is not a rocket science when you think long term. Link building is definitely one of the most crucial factors in SEO. That being said, if you really want to get higher rankings, links are not the only source as you can also get traffic by creating exceptional content that adds value to your target audience.

Rightly said about poor link exchange as I’ve seen so many bloggers doing it. There’s no point of getting reciprocal links from low quality sites. Here’s where you need to remember that, quality is way more important than quantity. One link from an authority site is better than getting 10 or even 20 links from low quality sites.

Purchased links should be done naturally. I personally have bought links from few trusted sources couple of years ago and they are still working like a charm (buy links from those sites that don’t give out too many links, that’s the key here).

Gone are the days where you can still depend on article directories to build links for your site. You now need to focus on quality guest posting, email outreach, influencer marketing etc to generate quality links.

Thanks for the great post Jack, keep posting more.

They really are important, despite many people are underestimating them
