for niche sites there is no need to chase lots of domain-level backlink. Instead of churning out backlink to the specific page, the better strategy is linking within topic cluster.
One good backlink outweighs ten bad one.
Yes. For a general niche blog, the biggest mistake is building random backlinks to random pages.
Instead, group your articles into categories and build relevant links to each category.
Example:
Build:
The best backlink strategy depends on your target keywords, competition level, budget, and whether you want quick rankings or long-term stable results.
Instead, group your articles into categories and build relevant links to each category.
Example:
- Travel articles → Get links from travel blogs.
- Finance articles → Get links from finance websites.
- Technology articles → Get links from tech blogs.
- Health articles → Get links from health-related websites.
Easy Backlink Methods
- Guest Posts
Write an article for another website and place your link naturally inside the content. - Profile Backlinks
Create profiles on forums, communities, and business websites with your website link. - Resource Page Links
Find websites that have "Useful Resources" pages and ask them to add your article. - HARO and Journalist Requests
Answer journalists' questions and earn backlinks from news websites. - Broken Link Building
Find broken links on websites and suggest your article as a replacement. - Reddit and Community Marketing
Join relevant communities, help users, and share your content when it genuinely solves a problem. - Internal Linking
Link related articles together. This helps Google understand your website structure and passes authority between pages.
For a General Blog
Create topic clusters:- Travel → 20-30 articles

To build backlinks for a general niche blog, focus on creating highly shareable "linkable assets" (like original data, stats, or ultimate guides) and conducting targeted outreach to site owners in your specific sector.

guest posting can work, but only if it’s relevant and the site actually has real readers.don’t blast 50 guest posts to random low-quality sites.

Create short clusters of content and track their individual performance. Create pillar content, build internal links, and build niche-relevant links to each cluster. If one cluster performs great, you can rank it better than others and further grow it to improve your EEAT signals. It'll boost your overall rankings.

If I’m going to set up a generic niche site, I would NOT be trying to get backlinks to every page. Instead I would choose which articles get the most traffic/monetization potential and focus link building there. Backlinks would come via relevant guest posts, niche edits, resource pages, authentic mentions from other relevant sites.
Supporting articles can get authority pushed their way via internal links.
Hundreds of un-related posts is very hard, expensive, and generally not effective to get a lot of good, targeted backlinks to.

Start with niche-relevant backlinks whenever possible. Use guest post, resource pages, forum participation, and strong internal linking.

If you are going to buld a normal website I would say focus on which pages should be linked as oposed to creting the actual link. this is becuz about 10-20% of the content you post will bring the majority of your trafic.

You can also try guest posting on small niche blogs or reaching out to sites that cover similar topics and suggesting your article if it adds value.

Quality over quantity. Build backlinks through niche relevant guest post, HARO/ journalist requests, resource pages, broken link building, and genuine blog outreach.
