Current link building strategies for new sites:

Reddit and Quora mentions help drive early traffic and build trust
Thanks, but question! does mentions work well with multiple mentions on lets say on Quora vs would google think its coming from the same referring domain so just 10 mentions = 1 referring domain? this has been bothering me.
 
Currently, obtaining links from relevant blogs, Niche edits, and local directory submissions that works best for new websites.
 
For new websites, the number of backlinks should be directly proportional to the site's traffic.
If new links appear faster than actual visits from users, it will look suspicious to Google and may lead to negative consequences.
 

Niche Edits (Contextual Links)

  • Get links placed in existing, indexed articles on relevant blogs.
  • Works faster than guest posts.
  • Focus on relevance + authority.
 
Right now, the best way to build links for a new site is to get featured on relevant blogs, answer journalist requests like HARO, create useful content people want to share, and build local citations. Avoid spammy links, Google rewards trust and real value.

This is also a problem that bothers me. I think the same website does not need to submit too many backlinks, a maximum of 3 is enough. But I haven't seen any other authoritative opinions on this.
 
It feels like there isn't a unified opinion.
 
It feels like there isn't a unified opinion.
Sure.. Everyone’s SEO level is different - some have been doing it for just a couple of years, while others for over 10.
And some simply want to sell their link-building SEO services. That’s why the answers vary so much.
 
It feels like there isn't a unified opinion.
Because there is no unified solution. Building backlinks is like purchasing a car. You can't suggest the same car to everyone. The requirements, budget, and needs vary from person to person. So, everyone needs a personalized strategy for their site.
 
I feel it's a vague question. 2025 SEO is tough, but if you've well well-optimized website and content, you can improve visibility on search engines & also AI experience. Build topical authority through content and niche-specific links to become a better brand in your specified product/service or any.
 
Reddit & Quora links they drive traffic + help indexing, also link inserts in aged guest posts - faster impact than new content. Quality > quantity still wins, especially for new domains.
 
Since you posted this in a black hat SEO forum, here are my suggestions:
  • Buy hardlinks or hidden footers from high-authority sites like .gov or .edu
  • Hack a subdomain of a .gov site and upload a niche-relevant article that’s only visible to Googlebot, then point a canonical tag back to your site
This will help you build authority fast.
 
  • Brand Mentions
  • High Authority and Topic Relevance
  • Multi-Platform and Multimedia Link Building
  • Contextual, Editorial, and Relevant Links
 
Niche-Relevant Guest Posting, HARO/Help a B2B Reporter Out Alternatives, Digital PR + “Micro PR” Outreach
 
For new websites, the key to a successful link-building strategy is to start by laying a solid foundation. Focus on creating valuable, high-quality content that people want to share. Get involved in niche communities and use smart outreach, like guest blogging or broken link building, to earn relevant backlinks. Don’t forget to promote your content on social media and consider using digital PR to get noticed by authoritative sites. It’s all about building trust and visibility step by step.
