They\u2019re one of the most important parts of SEO today.<\/p>\n<p>But knowing that isn\u2019t enough. What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n<p>You need a strategy. A plan you\u2019ll follow over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>Then you\u2019ll look at the results. If things aren\u2019t working, you tweak the strategy. Or switch it up completely.<\/p>\n<p>Without a strategy, you won\u2019t get far.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like doing push-ups. At first, maybe you can do 10. Maybe less. But with a plan \u2014 specific exercises and a schedule \u2014 you\u2019ll improve. You\u2019ll get stronger, because you\u2019ll know what to do and why it works.<\/p>\n<p>Backlinks are the same. They take time, effort, and constant learning. But it\u2019s worth it. Because when your site starts ranking high on Google, the traffic follows.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s begin. First, what is a backlink strategy?<\/p>\n<h2>What is a backlink strategy?<\/h2>\n<p>Every backlink strategy has one goal:\u00a0<strong>to get backlinks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is how you do it. There are many ways to build them.<\/p>\n<p>You just need a strategy that works for you.<\/p>\n<p>At the core, all strategies aim to get\u00a0<strong>relevant backlinks<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong>trusted, high-authority websites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the goal is always the same \u2014\u00a0<strong>boost your site\u2019s authority<\/strong>, build trust, and earn strong backlinks. That can also bring you real, relevant traffic.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of backlink strategies out there. But I want to show you only the\u00a0<strong>ones that actually work<\/strong>. These can help you build a strong backlink profile over time.<\/p>\n<p>Pick the strategies that fit you best and start using them.<\/p>\n<h2>Backlinks strategies (the best 6 strategies)<\/h2>\n<h2>#1 Strategy: Guest Posting<\/h2>\n<p>In this strategy, you find\u00a0<strong>trusted blogs, news sites, or niche websites<\/strong>\u00a0where you can publish content and get a backlink to your site. It could be an article, an interview, or a quote in someone else\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n<p>Some platforms connect journalists with people who can give expert quotes or stories.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/dfd\/ae9\/dab\/dfdae9dab558923a91c0c3e4daf9edab.jpeg\" alt=\"Strategy: Guest Posting\" title=\"Strategy: Guest Posting\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 50vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w780\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/dfd\/ae9\/dab\/dfdae9dab558923a91c0c3e4daf9edab.jpeg 780w,&#10;       https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/dfd\/ae9\/dab\/dfdae9dab558923a91c0c3e4daf9edab.jpeg 781w\" loading=\"lazy\" decode=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: Guest Posting<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But here\u2019s the catch.<\/p>\n<p>Not every journalist will include your link. Some might just mention your name. Others might use only part of what you wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Some sites will publish your article and include a backlink. But only if you pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, guest posting takes time. You have to pitch your idea, talk to editors, follow their rules, and write a great post. There\u2019s no guarantee it\u2019ll be accepted. You might spend a week just on writing and back-and-forth emails.<\/p>\n<p>And if you do it right, you can get strong backlinks from big, high-authority websites.<\/p>\n<h2>#2 Strategy: Content Marketing<\/h2>\n<p>This strategy is also about writing useful content.<\/p>\n<p>The main idea is to create\u00a0<strong>high-quality, shareable content<\/strong>\u00a0that naturally attracts backlinks.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re good at writing, this will feel easy. If not \u2014 don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll share some helpful tips next to help you create content people actually want to share.<\/p>\n<p>People love saving and sharing this kind of content:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Expert guides:<\/strong>\u00a0People like to read guides because they help solve problems. When your guide is helpful, readers will share it with their coworkers or friends.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Infographics.<\/strong>\u00a0Many people (especially marketers, bloggers, and students) use infographics in their own slides, blog posts, or work reports and link back to the source.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Data studies.<\/strong>\u00a0Stats and research writers love to cite. People love data studies because they\u2019re\u00a0<strong>trustworthy, easy to reference<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>make them look smart<\/strong>\u00a0when they share or cite them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Templates.<\/strong>\u00a0People love\u00a0<strong>templates<\/strong>\u00a0because they save time, reduce effort, and give them a head start. They share them to help others work faster too.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Living resources.<\/strong>\u00a0People like\u00a0<strong>living resources<\/strong>\u00a0because they\u2019re always up-to-date and reliable. They share them as trusted go-to links others can bookmark and reuse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Collections<\/strong>. People like\u00a0<strong>collections<\/strong>\u00a0because they bring the best stuff together in one place. They share them to save time for others and show valuable finds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>One more tip:<\/strong>\u00a0You can take an existing article from the top 10 Google results and improve it. Find a guide in your niche, then add your own experience and extra materials. People love this. They want simple, clear explanations plus real-life tips from you. That makes your content stand out and feel more helpful.<\/p>\n<h2>#3 Strategy: Expired domains with backlinks<\/h2>\n<p>As you\u2019ve seen above,\u00a0<strong>Guest Posting<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Content Marketing<\/strong>\u00a0can bring strong backlinks. But they take time. You need to create a lot of content and spend hours talking to journalists and writers.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another way to get backlinks. Without all that work.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s called using\u00a0<strong>expired domains<\/strong>\u00a0that already have backlinks from big, trusted websites.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a website about\u00a0<strong>Health and Wellness<\/strong>. It worked hard on Guest Posting and Content Marketing. It got backlinks from major sites like\u00a0<strong>Forbes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But one day, the company shut down and the domain expired.<\/p>\n<p>Now what?<\/p>\n<p>The content still exists on those other websites, but the links now lead to an error page.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s your chance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/bae\/f9a\/720\/baef9a720b92aae1072b33f280ea46c4.jpeg\" alt=\"Strategy: Expired domains with backlinks\" title=\"Strategy: Expired domains with backlinks\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 50vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w780\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/bae\/f9a\/720\/baef9a720b92aae1072b33f280ea46c4.jpeg 780w,&#10;       https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/bae\/f9a\/720\/baef9a720b92aae1072b33f280ea46c4.jpeg 781w\" loading=\"lazy\" decode=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: Expired domains with backlinks<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You can register that expired domain with backlinks from Forbes and others and\u00a0<strong>redirect it to your site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, your site should be related to the same topic \u2014 like Health or Wellness.<\/p>\n<p>If you do this right, your site will\u00a0<strong>inherit backlinks<\/strong>\u00a0from big names like Forbes. That boosts your SEO, improves indexing, and increases authority.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget \u2014 some of those old links might still bring real traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good, right?<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gone.domains\/blog\/find-expired-domains-with-traffic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">how do you find these expired domains<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>You could search manually by checking articles on high-authority sites.

It does the work for you \u2014 automatically. It finds expired domains with real backlinks and shows key details like backlink sources and domain quality.

If your project fits, you can register and add your site. That gives you a\u00a0<strong>backlink from a relevant site<\/strong>\u00a0in your niche.<\/p>\n<p>But this strategy has some downsides.<\/p>\n<p>Some high-quality directories charge a fee to get listed.<\/p>\n<p>Most are free, but over time they can turn spammy \u2014 full of low-quality or unrelated links. Google might then treat backlinks from them as\u00a0<strong>low-value<\/strong>\u00a0or even\u00a0<strong>spammy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/1cb\/1fc\/68b\/1cb1fc68b730c420e8a4edc77fe7c637.jpeg\" alt=\"Strategy: List in Directories\" title=\"Strategy: List in Directories\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 50vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w780\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/1cb\/1fc\/68b\/1cb1fc68b730c420e8a4edc77fe7c637.jpeg 780w,&#10;       https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/1cb\/1fc\/68b\/1cb1fc68b730c420e8a4edc77fe7c637.jpeg 781w\" loading=\"lazy\" decode=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: List in Directories<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to spend time researching and choosing the right directories.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful. Check each site before submitting. Look at how many\u00a0<strong>outgoing links<\/strong>\u00a0it has. Avoid directories filled with spam, adult content, or shady links.<\/p>\n<p>If your site offers a digital product or service, you can also look for\u00a0<strong>alternatives directories<\/strong>. These are sites where people compare different tools. You can try to get listed there too.<\/p>\n<p>This method still works \u2014 but only if you do it right.<\/p>\n<h2>#5 Strategy: Build Free Tools<\/h2>\n<p>This strategy is powerful, but it takes work.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is simple:\u00a0<strong>create a free tool<\/strong>\u00a0on your website. Something useful that solves a real problem. If the tool helps people, they\u2019ll come back to use it again. And they\u2019ll share it in messages, comments, social media, or even blogs.<\/p>\n<p>But the tool has to be\u00a0<strong>genuinely helpful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/cee\/fd7\/aab\/ceefd7aaba1584e917c0fd41a955ff97.jpeg\" alt=\"Strategy: Build Free Tools\" title=\"Strategy: Build Free Tools\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 50vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w780\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/cee\/fd7\/aab\/ceefd7aaba1584e917c0fd41a955ff97.jpeg 780w,&#10;       https:\/\/habrastorage.org\/r\/w1560\/getpro\/habr\/upload_files\/cee\/fd7\/aab\/ceefd7aaba1584e917c0fd41a955ff97.jpeg 781w\" loading=\"lazy\" decode=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: Build Free Tools<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For example, if your site is about medical services, you could build a simple AI tool like\u00a0<strong>\u201cFirst Consultation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Users type in their symptoms, and the tool gives basic tips or suggestions on what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of free value is easy to remember and easy to share. It also builds trust. Some of those users may come back later as paying customers.<\/p>\n<p>To use this strategy, you need good tool ideas. You can ask\u00a0<strong>ChatGPT<\/strong>\u00a0to help. Just describe your site and ask what tools could work. Also, check your competitors. Look at what free features they offer.<\/p>\n<p>This is called\u00a0<strong>Resource Link Building,<\/strong>\u00a0you create helpful tools, guides, or lists, and then reach out to websites to include your link on their\u00a0<strong>resource pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It takes time to build and promote, but it can bring strong backlinks and steady traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>#6 Strategy: Internal Link Building<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Internal linking<\/strong>\u00a0is also a backlink strategy. And it\u2019s often underrated.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to link between relevant pages on your own site.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t overdo it \u2014 just\u00a0<strong>3 to 5 internal links per page<\/strong>\u00a0is enough.<\/p>\n<p>This helps\u00a0<strong>Google crawl your site better<\/strong>\u00a0and index your pages more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Also, high-performing pages usually have strong backlinks. When you link from those pages to your\u00a0<strong>less popular pages<\/strong>, you pass some of that authority. That\u2019s called\u00a0<strong>\u201cLink Juice.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Internal linking also improves\u00a0<strong>user experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A visitor reads one article\u2026 then clicks a link to another one\u2026 because it looks interesting.<\/p>\n<p>That keeps people on your site longer \u2014 and that can help boost your Google rankings too.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Building a Strong Backlinks Strategy<\/h2>\n<h2>Focus on niche-relevant backlinks<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Focus on getting backlinks from websites in your industry and that share your target audience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google sees links from authority sites in your niche as a strong signal, which helps your site rank higher.<\/p>\n<p>Backlinks from unrelated niches don\u2019t matter much \u2014 they won\u2019t help your rankings significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>Use descriptive anchor text<\/h2>\n<p>Anchor text is the clickable part of a backlink \u2014 usually blue and underlined.<\/p>\n<p>Try to include keywords in it. But don\u2019t overdo it. Mix things up.<\/p>\n<p>Exact match (like \u201cbest crypto wallet\u201d) is strong, but using it too much can look spammy.<\/p>\n<p>Natural variation is safer. Use branded, partial match, or generic ones like \u201cclick here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, always mix your anchor text to stay safe and avoid penalties.<\/p>\n<h2>Update and improve content<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Keep your content fresh and relevant to keep attracting backlinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From time to time, go through your articles and update them. You can add new materials like screenshots, documents, or fresh insights on the topic. You might also include new sections or blocks of content.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye on your competitors too \u2014 regular monitoring can give you new ideas. Do this consistently, and your content will have a better chance of ranking in Google\u2019s top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Engage with your audience<\/h2>\n<p>Share your content and talk to your followers to get more shares and backlinks.<\/p>\n<p>If you already run social media \u2014 great. Post your content there. A good way is to make short posts with only the key points. Then add a link to your full content.<\/p>\n<p>This gives you a strong backlink from a trusted platform and brings in visitors \u2014 your potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca1\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/aleksisworking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Alex: SEO, Domains &amp; Growth<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Telegram channel about my journey of growing products with smart SEO, creative promotion, and solo hustle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!----><!----><\/div>\n<p><!----><!----><br \/> \u0441\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043b \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0438 <a href=\"https:\/\/habr.com\/ru\/articles\/913118\/\"> https:\/\/habr.com\/ru\/articles\/913118\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><!--[--><!--]--><\/div>\n<div id=\"post-content-body\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"article-formatted-body article-formatted-body article-formatted-body_version-2\">\n<div xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\">\n<div class=\"tm-iframe_temp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embedd.srv.habr.com\/iframe\/68357ef66d3815ba9509fbeb\" data-style=\"\" id=\"68357ef66d3815ba9509fbeb\" width=\"\"><\/div>\n<p>Want Higher Google Rankings?

But they take time. You need to create a lot of content and spend hours talking to journalists and writers.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another way to get backlinks. Without all that work.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s called using\u00a0<strong>expired domains<\/strong>\u00a0that already have backlinks from big, trusted websites.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a website about\u00a0<strong>Health and Wellness<\/strong>. It worked hard on Guest Posting and Content Marketing. It got backlinks from major sites like\u00a0<strong>Forbes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But one day, the company shut down and the domain expired.<\/p>\n<p>Now what?<\/p>\n<p>The content still exists on those other websites, but the links now lead to an error page.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s your chance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\">\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: Expired domains with backlinks<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You can register that expired domain with backlinks from Forbes and others and\u00a0<strong>redirect it to your site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, your site should be related to the same topic \u2014 like Health or Wellness.<\/p>\n<p>If you do this right, your site will\u00a0<strong>inherit backlinks<\/strong>\u00a0from big names like Forbes. That boosts your SEO, improves indexing, and increases authority.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget \u2014 some of those old links might still bring real traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good, right?<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gone.domains\/blog\/find-expired-domains-with-traffic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">how do you find these expired domains<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>You could search manually by checking articles on high-authority sites. But that takes forever.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gone.domains\/tools\/backlink-finder\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Backlinks Finder<\/a>. It does the work for you \u2014 automatically. It finds expired domains with real backlinks and shows key details like backlink sources and domain quality. So you can find strong domains for your business in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\"><\/figure>\n<h2>#4 Strategy: List in Directories<\/h2>\n<p>This strategy is about publishing a link to your site on\u00a0<strong>niche directory websites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, there are AI directories that list tools and services built with AI. If your project fits, you can register and add your site. That gives you a\u00a0<strong>backlink from a relevant site<\/strong>\u00a0in your niche.<\/p>\n<p>But this strategy has some downsides.<\/p>\n<p>Some high-quality directories charge a fee to get listed.<\/p>\n<p>Most are free, but over time they can turn spammy \u2014 full of low-quality or unrelated links. Google might then treat backlinks from them as\u00a0<strong>low-value<\/strong>\u00a0or even\u00a0<strong>spammy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\">\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: List in Directories<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to spend time researching and choosing the right directories.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful. Check each site before submitting. Look at how many\u00a0<strong>outgoing links<\/strong>\u00a0it has. Avoid directories filled with spam, adult content, or shady links.<\/p>\n<p>If your site offers a digital product or service, you can also look for\u00a0<strong>alternatives directories<\/strong>. These are sites where people compare different tools. You can try to get listed there too.<\/p>\n<p>This method still works \u2014 but only if you do it right.<\/p>\n<h2>#5 Strategy: Build Free Tools<\/h2>\n<p>This strategy is powerful, but it takes work.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is simple:\u00a0<strong>create a free tool<\/strong>\u00a0on your website. Something useful that solves a real problem. If the tool helps people, they\u2019ll come back to use it again. And they\u2019ll share it in messages, comments, social media, or even blogs.<\/p>\n<p>But the tool has to be\u00a0<strong>genuinely helpful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"full-width\">\n<div><figcaption>Strategy: Build Free Tools<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For example, if your site is about medical services, you could build a simple AI tool like\u00a0<strong>\u201cFirst Consultation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Users type in their symptoms, and the tool gives basic tips or suggestions on what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of free value is easy to remember and easy to share. It also builds trust. Some of those users may come back later as paying customers.<\/p>\n<p>To use this strategy, you need good tool ideas. You can ask\u00a0<strong>ChatGPT<\/strong>\u00a0to help. Just describe your site and ask what tools could work. Also, check your competitors. Look at what free features they offer.<\/p>\n<p>This is called\u00a0<strong>Resource Link Building,<\/strong>\u00a0you create helpful tools, guides, or lists, and then reach out to websites to include your link on their\u00a0<strong>resource pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It takes time to build and promote, but it can bring strong backlinks and steady traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>#6 Strategy: Internal Link Building<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Internal linking<\/strong>\u00a0is also a backlink strategy. And it\u2019s often underrated.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to link between relevant pages on your own site.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t overdo it \u2014 just\u00a0<strong>3 to 5 internal links per page<\/strong>\u00a0is enough.<\/p>\n<p>This helps\u00a0<strong>Google crawl your site better<\/strong>\u00a0and index your pages more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Also, high-performing pages usually have strong backlinks. When you link from those pages to your\u00a0<strong>less popular pages<\/strong>, you pass some of that authority. That\u2019s called\u00a0<strong>\u201cLink Juice.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Internal linking also improves\u00a0<strong>user experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A visitor reads one article\u2026 then clicks a link to another one\u2026 because it looks interesting.<\/p>\n<p>That keeps people on your site longer \u2014 and that can help boost your Google rankings too.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Building a Strong Backlinks Strategy<\/h2>\n<h2>Focus on niche-relevant backlinks<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Focus on getting backlinks from websites in your industry and that share your target audience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google sees links from authority sites in your niche as a strong signal, which helps your site rank higher.<\/p>\n<p>Backlinks from unrelated niches don\u2019t matter much \u2014 they won\u2019t help your rankings significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>Use descriptive anchor text<\/h2>\n<p>Anchor text is the clickable part of a backlink \u2014 usually blue and underlined.<\/p>\n<p>Try to include keywords in it. But don\u2019t overdo it. Mix things up.<\/p>\n<p>Exact match (like \u201cbest crypto wallet\u201d) is strong, but using it too much can look spammy.<\/p>\n<p>Natural variation is safer. Use branded, partial match, or generic ones like \u201cclick here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, always mix your anchor text to stay safe and avoid penalties.<\/p>\n<h2>Update and improve content<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Keep your content fresh and relevant to keep attracting backlinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From time to time, go through your articles and update them. You can add new materials like screenshots, documents, or fresh insights on the topic. You might also include new sections or blocks of content.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye on your competitors too \u2014 regular monitoring can give you new ideas. Do this consistently, and your content will have a better chance of ranking in Google\u2019s top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Engage with your<\/h><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-461147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=461147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=461147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=461147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/savepearlharbor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=461147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
