Backlinks are still a strong ranking signal. Even today, strong links are still
decisive for the top positions at Google. Links are still offered for sale, but
Google fights with all means against it. Save your money and use link
building tactics that are less likely to be punished by Google. But what tactics
are there?
Guest Post
Find related blogs and ask the blogger to post an article (of course with a link
to your blog). Offer him the same in return with your blog. If your guest post
contains valuable content, this strategy will quickly provide you with well-
functioning links.
You can find suitable blogs by using the search term combination “guest
article and keyword”.

2. PDF Shares
Export your blog posts to PDF format and add links to the pages you want.
Then publish them on
issuu.com
de.slideshare.net
Don’t forget to set links in the user profile as well.
Web directories
Web directories have hardly any meaning anymore, therefore the links are not
very valuable in themselves. However, they help you to increase the quantity
of links and to expand your source mix.

Mix.com
Register on https://mix.com/ and enter your website there. Mix.com works like
a huge directory where you can add websites. Using the Mix button, users are
shown randomly entered websites according to their areas of interest (can be
set under Settings).
Mix.com
Forums and question and answer portals
Google hardly pays any attention to the links in forums anymore, therefore it
makes more sense to enrich the link mix. Pay attention to topic-relevant
contributions, otherwise the moderator will already expose you as a spammer.

3. Link lists
Search other websites for link lists that fit thematically. As soon as you have
found a suitable link list, you should ask the operator if your site can be
included.
The higher the quality of the texts, the better the chances of being
included.
To find such lists, you can simply enter the following in Google:
intitle:keyword inurl: links
intitle:keyword inurl: link list
intitle:keyword inurl: links keyword
intitle:university inurl: links keyword
You can also use “Blogroll” instead of “Link*”.
If you have any questions, please use the comment field, I will try to answer as
soon as possible.

Only interesting, if you really have something important to publish,
otherwise your contribution becomes meaningless.
