So, I'm pretty new to link building. I got a site that gets some decent traffic, but that's pretty much only from one high-quality article in a low competition niche. The rest of my stuff can't seem to rise in any way without getting some links. I spend quite a bit of time reaching out to other people who create similar content or articles on the topic, but the results were sparse.

So I'm wondering, what other ways are there for link building? I'm creating more content on topics related to what I'm doing (literature), but it's hard to rank almost anything. I'm focusing on high-quality content, but that alone doesn't seem to be good enough to get anywhere.

I've also seen that there's a lot of services here for link building, but since I'm new I've got no clue what to even look for. Also, I'm a bit worried about certain SEO horror stories and don't want to get my page penalized in the long run.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

If you want to dip your toes in the water, you want to stay white hat (I assume that as you are posting in the whitehat forum) and you said yourself you are writing HQ content.

How about you write some more high-quality content, then research, find and reach out to some other authoritative sites in your niche and try to get some of that HQ content published on those sites, linking back to your own.

From a WH perspective, you will get some targeted traffic and from a marginally BH perspective you will get some decent backlinks.

Yes, this website is basically my hub and I want to keep growing it in the long-run, so I'm afraid that blackhat techniques might get me penalized in the long run. Not sure how likely it is, but I'd rather be safe.

So what you're saying is, to write high-quality content, but instead of simply publishing it on my page, I should look for other places where I could get it published to get links back to my page. So if my niche is literature, I should write quality content about that and try to find a home on authority pages that focus on literature and try to get them to publish it.

I also read about guest-posting in the past, where you basically write a blog post on a topic for someone else. Is it still a thing worthwhile to do or is guest-posting dead?

Thats it Mate and that’s what I’m talking about - guest posting. But to keep yourself safe you want to look for QUALITY sites in your niche to post to. If you can write some really good content then find sites with editorial guidelines on the basis that they won’t just accept any old guest posts, just high quality ones. That way you’ll hopefully get some hard to acquire backlinks.
 
I am a firm believer that the best link-building strategy is an effective content marketing strategy.

So, my advice to you would be to focus on building articles people would want to link to.

Articles like...
  • Listicles
  • In-depth guides
  • Data-driven articles
Just imagine you own an authority website in your niche and ask yourself what kind of content would you like to link to?

Next is simply devote 80% of your time to promote the content.

Social media is great for this!

Places like niche-related Facebook groups, forums, Q&A platforms (Reddit & Quora), etc., are great for this.

Cheers and stay safe!

Apart from making sure there are no technical or on-page issues with your own site, one approach is to research your competition.
You can use tools like ahrefs or semrush to analyze their keywords and backlink profile to see how they're ranking. It could be that niche has a bunch of high authority sites that have dominated the SERPs for years. They may have used a specific link building strategy, ex. creating a linkable asset (useful app/tool/widget) that's attracted lots of links.

if you end up wanting to buy a backlink service, I suggest to only buy from sellers who are active outside of their sales threads, in helping others with their SEO journeys. these guys are establishing personal brand and will not be selling you shit or try to cheat you. They don't want to ruin their own personal brands.

I buy someone who was eur active on this forum

Getting your page penalized is one of the last things that you should be actually afraid of before buying links,
Almost 90% (if not more) of easy to medium and above keywords serps has the top 10 ranking with bought links

Basically, if you know what you're purchasing, you will get penalized,
the only links that might get your website really penalized are the super cheap 10k links that you can buy with $3-$5
you can even survive with such links and in most cases, they will be just ignored

Does that mean that all links will help you out? hell no
take your time and analyse before buying any type of links,
you should make sure that you're buying quality links

don't just rely on metrics as most of them can be easily manipulated,
ask for samples, check if the content is human quality or not, is it relevant or not,
check some of these pbns backlinks, and even take a look at their tier 2 links

if you're hesitating about anything, ask in the forums and search before deciding,
and even after all of this, you'll have to test multiple providers before founding the really quality ones
 
If you compile a list of web2.0's you will find there are less than 300 decent ones, so you are better to mix them in with links you purchase from the marketplace here.
 
Here's my suggestion :
Does your niche supports question. It should. Try searching for those questions, find sites that are related to your niche and have answers to those questions. If they are answers generated by users start interacting there related to what that question is about. After some time whenever you find a chance slide in your website link, if your website has anything related to the question or topic. Good Luck.
 
There are many linkbuilding methods which may help you to rank your website higher - but you should analyse your competitors first. Check them out - what kind of links do they use and do the same!
 
I think that the major factor of success while analyzing competitors - do much more than your competitors did (according to that analytic info).

Some people may do the same and even more in linkbuilding as their competitors did but they don't get the result after all. Because they also may forget about on-page SEO & content.. so analysing competitors should be done both for off-page and on-page SEO + content analyse.
