Both. contextual backlinks towards homepage, pillar pages and blog page. I'll ultimately build 50% of the links to the home page as foundation

Main page as in homepage?

Homepage should have majority but for a significant push, few direct links at least are usually required.

 

[7th Sense]

Why choose one when you could have both link?

Send links to all linkable pages. Most sites naturally attracts more links to their homepage than internal pages, so you can work with that in mind.

I would say to both pages, give more importance to homepage, next to it inner pages.

60% of the links should be pointed to your pillar page - rest you can diversify on Internal pages.

Make sure to diversify your anchor texts as well (Branded+ General + KWs)

When building backlinks, a balanced approach targeting both your main page and inner pages is ideal.

Backlinks to your main page enhance overall site authority and attract general traffic, which can be funnelled to specific areas. For inner pages, focus on targeted keywords and detailed content to drive engagement and improve rankings for specific terms.

It depends on your overall strategy and the pages you want to rank. If your main page has strong content and is relevant to your target keywords, send backlinks there to build authority. But, don't neglect inner pages.

First start with the home page.
Then Inner page whichever you think is the one you think can give you more secondary traffic.

Backlinks can link to various parts of a website, including the homepage, blogs, and product pages.

Each type of backlink serves a different purpose and can help improve the overall SEO performance of the site.

If your anchor text is a branded name, then you need to link to the homepage or product pages.
If your anchor text is a non-branded name, then you need to link to product pages or blog pages.

Targeting both the homepage and inner pages is important in SEO:

Homepage: Linking to your homepage can increase your website’s overall authority and credibility. It helps to brand recognition and ranking brand-related keywords.

Inner Pages: By targeting inner pages, you can rank specific products or services. This helps in achieving higher visibility for targeted keywords and attracts more relevant traffic to particular sections of your site.
