Link building is a cornerstone of effective SEO, essential for enhancing a website’s authority and visibility. By acquiring links from reputable and relevant sources, a website signals its credibility and trustworthiness to search engines like Google. Quality backlinks serve as digital endorsements, indicating to search algorithms that the content is valuable and worthy of recognition.

Search Engine Journal contributor Brian Gareth has published an article featuring 24 effective link building tactics that work in 2024.

He says, “The good news is that there are many ways to build high-quality backlinks – those from relevant, authoritative domains. The more methods you use, the more likely you are to succeed at link building.

1. Check Your Direct Competitors’ Backlinks

Since link building helps your site rank higher, we can assume that the highest-ranking sites on SERPs have lots of good backlinks.

The same is true for your competitors who rank higher than you.

And if there are a lot of authoritative sites linking to them, wouldn’t it be nice if they linked to you too?

Of course it would.

Find those sites, and you can start building links there too, right?

Not so fast.”
