This is really helpful. Thank youObviously, outreach is the better way. The reason you do outreach is to get links you aren't able to build yourself, these aren't public sites that anyone can drop a link on which makes them valuable. However, there are shit sites and link farms that you need to stay away from. You also need to offer money to the webmaster in exchange for these links. As a general rule, more expensive links are better since not everyone can afford them and usually those sites do not link out to garbage.
Make sure you learn how to evaluate links or you will most definitely get ripped off.This is really helpful. Thank you
