Link building is arguably the most challenging part of SEO. It’s a part that requires technical prowess, a creative approach, and just straight up grit and grind.
So what is link building?
Here’s the standard definition. Link building is the process of getting other websites to link to a page on your website. And these hyperlinks are called backlinks.
However, most people can’t seem to get the link building process right. This ultimately boils down to execution.
The reason why execution is tough is because people focus too much on the end result, i.e. getting backlinks to their pages. The process is actually very relational. And relationships are built by humans, not “borrowed” templates from videos and blog posts.
So, here’s a better definition: link building is the process of building relationships with other relevant site owners who want and will link to your content because it enhances theirs.
It includes relationships, relevance, and a value exchange.
Since link building is tough, you need to understand why it’s worth the effort. In short, backlinks are used by search engines like Google to help rank web pages. And the reason for this is something called PageRank.
Why does PageRank matter and how does PageRank work? You’ll learn all about it in the video.
Once you’ve understood how PageRank works, you’ll want to know how to get backlinks to your site.
There are 3 ways to get them.
► Create backlinks
► Buy backlinks
► Earn backlinks
Out of the three, only one of them is truly valuable. In the tutorial, you’ll learn which one that is.
However, not all backlinks are good. Only some are really valuable.
To understand what makes a link good, there are two main categories you should look at.
► Relevance
► Authoritativeness
In the video, you’ll learn what these two concepts mean and how you can evaluate links for these two qualities.
Once you’ve understood everything before this, you’ll want to know what link building strategies you can use.
And in the video, we’ll share the link building strategies that actually work.

How we can start building our foundation backlinks?
Most of SEO’s talking about different things but they are not guiding beginner SEO’s properly. The types, you discussed in your video all are very difficult to get for individual blogger except “create backlinks”. I have written quality content no one is willing to link my website. The mostly people like link authority websites. How we can increase our authority for new website?
Kindly also guide those people who don’t have too much money. Looking for your kind words.
Really too much frustrated about link building. I have done what I can do myself like website setup , on page
Thanks

Hi Sam, Quick question, how can I convince someone to link to me INSTEAD of my competitor.
(My content is way better, and looks better. Plus, I have a video in my blog explaining the topic!!)
But still, what would they get in return if they linked to me?

Hey!
Your video is really good; sharing information is the need of the business growth.✌️
Thank you!
You didn't explain further about Link Building through comments and all. How exactly does that work?
Links in comments usually have "nofollow" or "ugc" attributes which don't passes any authority to your linked pages. So we don't use comment link building and that's why we didn't pay much attention to it.

Just preparing for a copy paste. Might as well share it here lol
Love the example of someone coming to your door and asking for money. I constantly receive link requesting emails that go along the lines of: "I noticed you donate to charity X. Wouldn't you rather donate to MY charity??" There's so much link spam out there that makes me cringe at the thought of asking people to link to my own content.
Brilliant video 👍😊
Thank you!
Hi. If I have 10 good websites, can I link to each other?
I mean, can I link using my own sites?
Yes you can link to each other for traffic and SEO.
Very useful, one of your best videos. :-)
Glad to hear that!

He says Earning backlinks is the hardest of the 3 recommendations. It is very hard for 99.9% of us because we're not large or small companies, 99.9% of us create blogs for our own personal brand, what big influencer wants to give a shout out to a 'nobody' in their niche. 😖
That's why we made this video 🙂

Would you say central indexing is worth it? I see mixed opinions everywhere. I am new to all of this sorry
I thought social media made it so links to websites have a no-follow directory
Google doesn't seem to care too much about nofollow, not nearly as much as people tend to think.

GReat video! Thanks for the info
Thanks for watching it! :)
-Helen
Great video, but as we know google don't use any DA/PA, DR/UR or any other matrics to consider any domain's ranking in Google Search results, there are so many other ranking factors, then why most SEO experts, only focusing on earning/creating backlinks, is this the only strategy to rank well in search results?
Google's original algorithm was based heavily on links, and there are still lots of correlation studies that show links are important. That probably explains why a lot of SEOs are focused on links. However, it's not the only strategy. Links are only part of it.
- SQ
I'm 9 minutes in, and I don't understand why this is titled as if it's about how to get backlinks, but there's been no actual deeper discussion on how to get them, but information about the types of backlinks and the properties of them. That's half the video. Edit: Content starts at 13:10 and ends at 14:55
I don't normally make comments like this, but this video is a complete waste of time.
This video was made for beginners, so there was a need to explain what a backlink is, why certain backlinks are more important, and how link building works. If you're more advanced and would like to learn how to use certain link building tactics, you can look at our link building playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tjUTuAHpHidz5e2hAedP_m.html

Do you think free web tools are a great way to generate back links through key partners? Not so much ebooks, blogs and white sheets, but actual custom built software tools that solve a problem.
Thanks,

For sure. Our free tools have earned a ton of links :)
-Sam
Sam what to do when owners of sites ask for money to publish your post when you pitch? They don't want to publish for free, they ask for money. What can we do in that case? 95% site owners doing this so what can we do here? as this is not good. Any idea? How do you pitch the right people? Please make video also on that
That's against Google guidelines so you shouldn't do it. Pitching the "right people" is about prospect segmentation, and we went through that in this video. I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell if someone will ask for money before you send the email though, but we can look into it and see if we can create a video about it.

Hey I have a little question I know the answer will be complicated but here it is :
How much time I need to wait for see the backlink effect ? (I 'm impatient 😅)
I don't think there's a right answer for this question 🙂

OH MY - I like the new Ahref logo graphics. LOL Also, I think you should adjust the background blue color because it's too bright it hurts your eye. Other than that... Awesome content as usual. Thanks, Sam.

-Helen
Thanks for a great video. You have a great like/dislike ratio. Such a shame that youtube is removing that function, it such a useful way to find good content, like this, quickly.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Sam, there are many answers to this question but I want to listen from you, Is authoritative profile and forum backlinks(not spam created manually) to just get started, as my DR is very low and no one want to link me for free even I created some great content on my niche than others, so will they be good to just start a race of ranking in Google.....
I guess this will be better than having no links at all. Just make sure these are dofollow links, otherwise value will be close to '0' and you will just waste your time creating these links.
- Max
How to deal with people manipulating your DR and UR metrics? So many domains and pages are so not what you say they are...
They can manipulate DR and UR but not rankings. Make better review of each backlink profile to figure out what stands behind these metrics.
- Max
@@AhrefsCom or fix your algo?
Good to see you Oh...
Glad to see you among the viewers;)

If I make a list with all my domains on it or a website and I only share the link of the general list or website,, will it also count as a vallid backlink, ifor all domains on the list, if I only share the listlink ?

Great content, thank you so much!
It seems like it would take a massive amount of time to contact others? And to do this for each article I own? I mean, you had either hundreds or thousands linking to each page, and I feel confused thinking, surely you didn't send out like 10,000 emails to people?
It is possible to scale this up. Watch some of our other link building tutorials to see how it all works: th-cam.com/play/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tjUTuAHpHidz5e2hAedP_m.html

Why does the websites backlinks drop gradually...
And I noticed the links are not created manually.....How do we solve it...
Losing backlinks is natural because websites and pages on the Internet die/get broken. Or they redirect pages, remove links, etc.

Hey Sam, big fan of your work man you're just brilliant keep it up! I've learnt a lot from you be it about SEO or Link Building and even abt correct Outreach Practices. And now after gaining so much knowledge I'm putting it all into my blog and going to launch it soon, but I'm a bit confused abt something relating to link building so I'm asking it to you in a hope to get an expert opinion from you. Should I build links to my articles, before I launch my blog so they'd be already be having a link as soon as I launch my blog OR should i first launch my blog with articles and then build links to tha articles? So which option should I choose? The former one or the latter one?
Hope to get my doubt cleared.
Anyways keep rocking on youtube with your solid content. 💯💪🏻
