Sure, I think the quality backlinks are much harder to come by than they used to be. Finding the relevant websites seems to be a lot more difficult these days.

You mean free backlinks right, yes, it is.

Easy backlinks are everywhere but genuinely relevant, authoritative links are much harder to earn.

Most of the new websites never show up in SERPs, so the visibility is almost zero. Most of the established sites prefer to give backlinks only to high authority sites unless your site is a source of information. Most of the webmasters ignore emails seeking backlinks. So, the chances of getting white hat backlinks are negligible.

If you are looking for black hat backlinks, then sorting link providers based on quality, long-term value, and relevance is a tedious task. What makes things even worse is the lack of credible sources that point us to the right direction. So, you need to do your own research and can't rely on AI tools like chatgpt.

Simple answer: No.

I think it's not harder, just different.

 

[Jake Bohel Iom]

Yeah, quality backlinks seem harder to earn than before. More sites are selective, and generic outreach gets ignored. Relevant, genuinely useful content and personalized outreach seem to work much better than mass link-building.

times change, so does the quality and ability to earn them

Yes, good backlinks are definitely getting harder to acquire. Also, good sites are harder to reach when there’s no clear connection between the two websites.

Relevant content, a useful resource, and a natural reason to mention your site can make outreach much easier.

I’d say it’s definitely getting harder to find good backlinks, not necessarily harder to find backlinks in general. Most of the easy opportunities are already saturated, while relevant placements with real traffic are much harder to secure.

I’ve been working with some interesting link-building sources myself, so if you’re comparing different approaches, happy to share what’s been working for me.

new sites have trouble gaining any visibility in SERPS initially and it could be tough to get good backlinks.established sites usually like to link to other sources or websites which have more authority and many webmasters tend to neglect email queries.even in case of hunting down another opportunity for links it is quite timeconsuming to judge quality relevance and longevity.i think it is always better to conduct research on your own instead of solely relying on AI tools like ChatGPT.

Links have become currency. It's like asking for free money.
