I cannot buy expensive backlinks

[cubitly]

I cannot buy expensive backlinks like PBNS and guestposts, Can I still rank with forum, web 2, comment, profile links?

They are not as powerful as a do-follow backlink but they do help a little with ranking.

 

[praetserge]

Yes, you can.
If you're skint, you can get guest posts yourself but it'll take time and hard work.

Buying BLs are kinda investment just like running ads if you cant invest you cant earn.

 

[breakcode]

If you can't buy them, try to build as many do-follow backlinks as possible.
There are various lists on BHW of sites where you can do do-follow links for free

 

[tazarbm]

nope. But you can rank low competition keywords in non-competitive niches without any backlinks at all. But you'll have to get your keyword research and on-page SEO perfect

Backlinks are the most important thing to rank yourself but you have to spend on them to buy it.

It's possible. But need to work hard and be patience to develop. Mostly try to find best low competition and high search volume and good Content quality. Because of high competitive world, build some quality backlinks from cheap price.

If you can't buy link you should do hard work in your post. Better buy links to earn more.

Forum links are undervalued imo
You don't need a shit tonne of links to rank for low comp kws
Totally depends on what you aim to rank for

You can move the serps ranking with the foundation links.
Ranking in top is only possible for low comp topics and keywords
If you can't spend on backlinks then focus on other ways to drive traffic.
Social media, Niche forums, QA sites..... you can find many similar sources & you will have to work to drive that traffic.

Yes you can, build a diverse link profile. Follow what Rachmaninoff says here, its from 2019 but it still holds true:

Start with great content, keyword research, and search intent.
Learn to procure backlinks with your own outreach.

 

[getivan]

Yes, you can.
You have to do some searches, and post links in comment sections and forums, etc, but yes, it's possible.
It's slow work, but they do give authority.
I just audited a guy's site a week or two ago where he had someone doing that kind of stuff, and I was shocked to see how effective it was.
He had a page ranking for some major mobile tech terms.
So, again, yes... it's possible.

There are many free methods of promotion, which are not inferior to the paid.

 

[Evander]

It's possible to rank without buying high ticket backlinks. If you provide really good content to big authority sites, they may consider publishing your article including a link.

 

[MaxPayne2022]

You will only be able to rank low competition keywords this way

 

[Jimoz]

You dont need expensive links to rank. But relevant and quality links help you rank.
