Go to any SEO forum and you’ll find the obligatory post from a confused, link building noob wondering, “How do I create amazing backlinks?”
In the post, the frustrated linker claims they’ve tried everything to build quality backlinks: free directories, profile links, article submissions, comment spamming, etc. But nothing works. Despite all their low-value efforts, they can’t leapfrog their competitors in the SERPs, so they’re pleading with others to share their secrets to building amazing, stupendous, superfantastic backlinks.
Trouble is, those secrets don’t exist.
There are no magic shortcuts, no highly classified insider hacks to getting quality links for your website. Building amazing backlinks takes work.But that’s the last thing the forum vagrants want to hear. They want a quick fix, and creating something of value is a whole lot harder than slapping a forum signature on a discussion thread post. So that message often falls on deaf ears.
