100 Ways to Get Quality Backlinks To Your Blog 2017

When ever we talk about SEO, we divide it into on site
and off site SEO. Off site SEO mainly contains
backlinks and social signals. Specially, to boost your
ranking in SERP’s you need to get quality links from
other authority sites. We all know the importance of
search engine traffic and that getting high quality
backlinks to your blog is one of the best ways to
improve your blogs rankings and get better search engine
traffic and results, this post will be listing 101 ways by
which you can get quality backlinks to your blog.

Though before we move ahead, here are things that you
need to keep in mind. In 2012, Google launched Penguin
update , which is targeted to get rid of sites using
spammy or paid ways to build links. Also, many ways
which I mentioned in the article are not so good ways to
get quality backlinks, so I will strikethrough such ways
and you can ignore them.

Before, I start with my 101 list, here are some of the
link building methods that you should ignore:
Avoid site wide link from footer (WordPress
themes or plugins)
Avoid buying exact anchor text link (Keep a
proportion of 40%-20%–20%-10%-10% for
anchor text variation)
Avoid buying bulk links from sites like Fiverr
Don’t opt for link networks (Build my rank
was one of such private link network, which
got penalized)
Avoid BlogRoll links
Article directory links are not that effective
anymore
So, these are something which you should keep in mind
when starting with quality backlink building campaign. Out
of all the existing method, guest posting is the best way
to get quality link and more over, it will help you to
drive traffic to your web page.
