young brands, if there is not enough information about them;
companies operating in niches with high rivalry;
brands that want to improve their recognition and to find ways to increase traffic.

Stages of link building:

1
Selection of interesting thematic content for visitors, which will be used as a donor for your site;
2
Development of a strategy to increase the mass of links for a good result in a short time;
3
Gathering a database of contacts who may be interested in a business niche;

Carrying out painstaking work on "scattering" links to various sites: blogs, forums, online publications.

Important criteria for donor sites for link building

The authority of the resource.

A link from The New York Times will be more important than a link from an unknown blog. The more well-known and authoritative the resource, the better it is suitable for work.

Relevance of the platform.

Link building work should be carried out on sites that suit them thematically (write about sports – distribute data on resources about sports, not dogs).

Link location.

In the footer (basement) and side columns of web portals, the placement is inferior in quality to the links in the main content of the page.

Authorship.

Editorial links are posted by the administrator (webmaster). Such a mention is valued much more than the placement, when a link remains in the comments, profiles. Google appreciates ​​editorial links. Their accommodation without the participation of an editor or a responsible specialist can be considered a violation of the rules.

Anchor text.

This is a small part of the text in which the link to the site you need is "stitched". Such a hyperlink can lead to another resource, which details the topic. Google views the anchor text as a ranking signal. Too many keys can be considered spam.

Text around links.

These are words and phrases localized around the link. The text around the links gives an idea of ​​the content of the page, so Google considers it additional anchor text. Uniqueness and logic, as well as the volume of the texts themselves, are important for the general perception of the text.

Nofollow and Dofollow links.

In SEO, open links that convey the weight of page links (dofollow) are more profitable, but closed links (nofollow) are needed to "dilute" the link profile. Do not neglect the placement on social networks, question-and-answer services. Search engines love a variety of links, they look more natural.

Crowd Marketing

Crowd marketing is the involvement of the target audience by posting testimonials on various pages, forums, blogs. Comments play a leading role as they are a confirmed recommendation for the questionable client.

Using crowd marketing, you can give a natural link profile, increase audience reach and improve the company's image. Crowd mentions on relevant sites can lead to the web portal not only casual users, but potential customers.

Link building experts prefer crowd marketing. The reasons are the safety of the method and low cost.

It is important not to put a lot of anchor links on the site being promoted and to limit the number of commercial anchors (buy, price, sell), especially if the link is dofollow.

When developing a link building strategy, it is important to:

1
Stimulate the gradual growth of links
2
Do not allow a sharp “explosion” of links
3
Maintain a balance of anchor and no anchor links
4
Take into consideration the indicators of donor sites
