Link Building for SEO

Link Building in 2019


Maybe the biggest change that has happened in SEO in the last few years has been Googles ability to understand when links are being built in a manipulative manner. 

The Google Penguin update made it increasingly difficult for black hat link building techniques to manipulate the algorithm by building hundreds of thousands of links from low quality or spare me destinations.

Prior to this, link spam used to work very well. But that doesn't mean that the penguin update changed Googles reliance on links to detect a quality website over a low-quality one.

Links are still very important in Google Search ranking algorithm however bad links a much easier to detect one of the most pressing questions that this is raised with SEO professionals is “how can I build links safely in a way that Google will not penalize?”. 

Contrary to what some marketing journalists of reported link building is still very much alive and well.

Every link building campaign that is undertaken needs to be done so with care, consideration and thought. There are no shortcuts to successful results when it comes to link building backlink should be built in a way that is organic and does not manipulate Googles guidelines.
