Link Building is the most important exercise in search engine optimization. It is the process of creating the high quality backlinks to your website from high authority websites. Here you need to create Anchor text based links or direct links to your website from other high authority websites. These high authority backlinks help you improve your page authority and domain authority. It’s not so easy to gain backlink from a high authority website like Huffington post or Forbes as compared to a new website. This makes the link building a difficult and a time consuming task. The higher the authority of an incoming link the greater will be the impact of the link on your website rank and authority. So here is the guide for a quality backlinks.
Importance of Link
Building
Link building is the major factor in keywords ranking.
Google rewards the website having the quality links with the higher ranking in
SERP. The websites with the low quality backlinks get penalized by the search
engine for creating spam. To understand the link building here we can take an
example.
Suppose you are running a financial services website to sell
finance for cars, or something else. If you want to make your website visible
at the top of search pages, then one of the factors is the backlinks to your
website. The chances of getting the top position is more if you have the high
quality links to your website. The high quality link sources are like money
control which is related to your niche and have very high authority. Your
keywords ranking depends upon the two factors 1st is On-page SEO and
second is Off-page or link building.

of link building

Building – The link strategy that follows the webmaster guideline of search
engine is called white hat link building.
