Social media links. Backlinks don't count for anything really if your website is pish, so concentrate on content delivery, site aesthetics, making sure your site is as good as it can be, and and let your site naturally pick up links.

So you mean Backlinks aren't really worth anything at all ?

First, i would ask is your site worth anything at all? Backlinks aren't the answer to make everything rosy red if your site is just garbage, and nobody cares for. Too many people i have seen the sites for come through, and the topic choice, is like 2 minutes worth of thinking and interest.
You really think that we live in the age of "I've got a 2 minute idea, so i'll build a quick site, just get some fake backlinks to it, and i'll be rich"? maybe in the ancient world that was possible.
I find your traffic stays pretty healthy, you don't need artificial backlinks, genuine ones work well enough.
I would say they mean nothing to me, as its only people that work at google that knows WHAT sort of difference they make. I'm just happy doing what I do with my site, managing it's content and keeping it updated.
The backlinks are the result of me doing my job well. Not how much I can afford for x amount of premium widget backlinks! lol
(Thats the way it should be, for an even playing field) Which is ultimately every search engines goal.
Its long been a myth now that who has the best backlinks gets the most traffic. Its only those with potential and good existing content that get backlinks, that then become popular.

Start with high quality profile links on trusted platforms like GitHub, Pinterest, and Medium to build foundational trust. Then, participate in niche relevant forums and answer questions on Q&A sites to get targeted referral traffic.

Dropping a naked link on a fresh Quora or Reddit post does nothing because a new page on those sites starts with a trust score of zero. If you want to make free Web 2.0s actually pass authority, you need to build a Tier-2 Interlinking Matrix. Write contextual articles on Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn, but instead of pointing them all directly to your money site, link them to each other in a closed loop, and have only the strongest node point to your blog. This concentrates the authority into a single beam without triggering any footprint flags.

Any backlinks that drive traffic to your site work great even if they are nofollow. If you can find niche relevant sites with contextual backlinks on high authority domains, it'll improve your rankings.

For a fresh blog I wouldn’t spend too much time hunting every free backlink list. Most of those links are only useful for making the site look active/real at the start. Pick a few basics, then put more time into pages that can actually earn a mention later.
A clean link from a small niche site with real readers is worth more than 30 empty profiles nobody will ever see.

First, I check competitors in my niche. I enter several competing blogs into tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, Majestic, or Moz Link Explorer. Even free versions can give enough ideas to start. Then I analyze where they are actually getting their links from and remove the junk.
Very often it turns out that niche forums, small directories, resource pages, guest posts, interviews, or community sites are much more useful than general profile links. Many of these “not overhyped” sites are easier to approach, and they can publish information about your blog too.
But I don’t look at it as just getting a backlink. It can be a small news post, your own author thread, a ready-made article, or if it is a directory, then information about your company or service.
And of course, social media too. It will not give you a huge backlink mass, but it can definitely increase brand awareness.

I disagree!
If they give you traffic (like niche forum links, for example), they're priceless.
Any link that sends targeted traffic to your site is good, no matter if it's free or not.
So, any of these will work (although, some of them will work better, depending on your site's niche):
- forum links from specialty forums with decent engagement
- links from UGC sites like Reddit, Quora, Stackoverflow, Youtube, etc...
- links from image sharing sites (these are particularly good for visual sites in travel / fashion / food recipes / jewelry / adult / etc niches), such as Pinterest, DeviantArt, Imgur, etc...
- business directory links (although, finding business directories that are free and rewarding can be tricky), these are particularly useful if you have an offline business associated with your website, otherwise they're not worth it.
