Backlink relevancy question for site with broad niche?

[jamie3000]

So I think it's generally accepted a backlink from a website about guitars to your website about guitars is more powerful than a backlink from a website about fishing to your website about guitars. Assuming metrics are roughly the same.

However, what if your website doesn't really have a niche. For example a blog about just everyday life, or a price comparison website.

Does it really matter then what niche your backlinks come from? And does that mean your backlinks have less relevancy and in turn power if you have a website is without a clear niche?

If your website is about general lifestyle, I think it's worthless to get a backlink from a car sub-niche, like car parts. But, if your general lifestyle website post an article about, let's say, Top 10 Funny Funeral Cars ( dafuq?! ), and that car parts website post a backlink to that article, you will get some link juice.

I'm struggling with the same.

However, I started testing one strategy which I'm gonna share it in my journey if everything goes well.

I have the same issue. I have general site and I'm confused what links to build.

I think you should look up sites like yours doing well in the serps. What kind of links are they building? Do likewise.

There are many general niche websites that Google loves. Just copy what they do

I guess medium.com is general and they rank pretty well!
