I kept posting high quality links for my site. But still after 3 months sites not moving anywhere. Jumping from page 2 to page 3 that's it. What to do?

What do you consider high quality, try working on your onpage SEO as well. How do you make high quality links? Are you paying for guest post?
 
1) what do you mean by "quality"? Newbies have different definitions for quality when compared to seasoned SEOs
2) how many pages did you point those links to, what type of pages (commercial, or informational) did you point them to, and how many of them did you point to each page?
3) what type of anchors did you use?
4) what market are you in, and what type of keywords (commercial or informational) are you targeting?
5) what type of website (local services, SMM, amazon affiliate, movie streaming, niche blog, etc) do you have?
6) how many links did you build and over how many days / weeks / months?

All of these questions matter, so try to answer them as accurately as possible without giving your niche or keywords away?
 
The simple answer for this would be, for some website Google do take bit extra to show the love or you might not be doing it the right way.
The other aspect could be, every website and niche is different. The quality link pointed to health website may not qualify to be called quality for a agriculture website. I would suggest you to use third party tools like Ahref or Semrush, check the backlinks of Top 10 organic competitors of your keyword. Filter out all link which are less than DA 30 then do blog outreach to get links from those places where your competitors are building.

Adding to what @tazarbm has said, you should also keep pumping good number of articles with keywords in your site.

How many articles do you have in your site right now?

1) what do you mean by "quality"? Newbies have different definitions for quality when compared to seasoned SEOs - Guestposts on sites with good traffic also competitiors have link on same sites.
2) how many pages did you point those links to, what type of pages (commercial, or informational) did you point them to, and how many of them did you point to each page? - Category page
3) what type of anchors did you use? - keyword and brand name
4) what market are you in, and what type of keywords (commercial or informational) are you targeting? - dating classified directory
5) what type of website (local services, SMM, amazon affiliate, movie streaming, niche blog, etc) do you have? - local services
6) how many links did you build and over how many days / weeks / months? - 2-3 a week.

I don't know what you define as quality. I've seen ridiculous definitions of quality links on this forum and elsewhere.

On the more pressing issue, maybe you should look at what sites on page 1 are doing. But more importantly, only target keywords you stand a chance at ranking for. Don't waste your time and/or resources on keywords beyond your reach.

Links ain't the only thing that matters
 
There are several reasons why your website may not be moving up in the search engine results pages. So,
1. Make sure that your website has high-quality, relevant, and informative content
2. Check your website is technical health by GSC
3. Your website may have too much competition in your niche
4. Make sure that you are building links from websites that are relevant to your niche and have a high DA.

Depends on what you consider HQ here and have you also perfectly optimized your website and content.
Your websites on page factors, loading speed, content structure and relevance and a lot many things more are important to rank.

A linking website with high SEO metric values does not necessarily mean it's HQ.
Even if the linking website is good it also needs to be topically relevant to your website.
Does the linking website rank for keywords?
Does it drive some traffic?
If not you have probably pointed links from link farms to your website which are not as effective as we expect them to be.
 
It is recommended to write high-quality content of 300-500 words around the target keywords for the category page, and submit it to the GSC index for a try

hmm, looks good..

The only thing(s) I can think of that could be the issue are either the niche (adult is a pretty tough niche), over-optimized anchors or, like @Owanceaser said, there could also be technical issues with your site (broken links, 404 pages, speed / mobile optimization issues, etc)

Run a site audit to see if you find any problems with the site and fix them. If there are no problems, check the anchors again (in general, try to keep exact match anchors to under 5%), and if all of these are good then you just need to keep going as the niche / keywords you target are pretty competitive. I don't see other problems (well, assuming that you did optimize the content and that you have enough of it for google not to flag you as thin content)

Also, when you said "category page" did you mean only 1 category page, or more than 1 category page? Because if it's only 1 that could be a problem, too. Personally, I would have pointed most links to the homepage, and only throw a handful of them (20-30%) to category pages.

This defines how tough your competition is.

By the way, how many links have you built in 2-3 weeks of your link-building campaign?

Hi,Ask a question:

I have a blog post in the form of Best, which is now ranked at the bottom of the Google first page. For this post page, I added 12 of my own PBN links, and No other types of backlinks were added. At the same time, the anchor text is: keywords, phrase keywords, partial match keywords (the anchor text does not use anchor URLs, brand words and generic words.).

For the target keywords I want to rank for, the competitors on the homepage are mainly the category pages of some e-commerce websites.

It has been 2 months now, but the keyword ranking has not changed, and it is still hovering at the bottom of the Google homepage.

For the keyword ranking does not improve this situation:
1. Is it because of a search intent mismatch? After all, the main competitor of the home page is the category page of the e-commerce website.

2. Still need to add some other types of external links to enrich the diversity of backlinks?

3. Or do some anchor texts need to be replaced, adding anchor texts for brands anchor, anchor URLs, and general anchor?

4. Or the overall authority of the site's homepage is not high, and some high-quality backlinks need to be added to the homepage of the website?

if you're still ranking, the anchor texts are not the problem. This is one of the easiest things to get penalized for, and even though it puzzles me how you're still ranking despite of abusing exact match anchors, this doesn't seem to be the problem.

So it's probably one of these:

- your site's authority (you need to pump the DA / DR of the homepage up)
- the keyword intent (probably your competition has optimized for "buy [whatever]" and it's normal for them to rank up top for such a keyword, especially if they're big sites, or sites with strong domains, and you ranking at the bottom of the page could mean that google doesn't have enough pages to show that are optimized for "buy [whatever]" so they show the next best thing, which is your page)
- site and content age (if your site is new you need to give it time while continuing building it up)
- the UR / PA of the page you're trying to rank is lower than your competitors' (see how your page matches up against your competition in terms of UR / PA and d0follow links)

It may be that the ratio of the exact match keyword anchor text for this inner page to the anchor text of the overall website is relatively small, so it is not punished in this regard.

Is it necessary to add some other similar backlinks, such as: web 2.0, forum backlinks? Or is it okay to use all PBN links?
At the same time, is the anchor text changed to a bare URL and general anchor text?
I checked the backlinks of competitors on the homepage, and basically the number of backlinks from different root domains of the seven websites did not exceed 5.
