From what I've seen, menu or footer links help with structure and crawling, but they don't carry as much weight as contenxual links inside content.
They are useful for important pages like categories, but not a magic boost.
If you remove or replace one, there can be small drop in internal link...
Blogging still works. It's just slower now - you need good content, proper keywords and consistency. quick results are rare, but traffic builds over time.
If you focus on helpful content + some basic backlinks, it can still grow.
I've tested a bit and honestly automated backlinks aren't useful now.
Most of them are low quality and either get ignored or don't help much long term. They might give a small boost but it's not stable.
I'd focus more on a few real, relevant links instead of bulk automation.
For me , the biggest issue was lack of focus and weak structure. i was posting random topics with no real connection, so nothing built authority.
Once I started grouping content into clusters and linking properly, I saw better movement.
I am also new but from what I've tested, there's no fixed number.
I just focus on quality links per month and keep it consistent. Looks more natural than blasting links.
Main thing is relevant + steady growth an not quantity.
