Backlinks are the one-way hyperlinks to your website from an authentic website that shares information related to your subject. The strategy, also known as link building, is a great way to improve the visibility of your website on search engines. If you are an SEO expert, you must know that SEO 2022 is more links = higher rankings on SERP. But it is not as easy as it sounds. If you do not follow the algorithmic guidelines of the search engines, it may lead to banning the website from its result pages.  

According to the famous “PageRank Algorithm”, instead of simply analyzing the content of the page, Google now look at how many people are linked to that page. Also, as per the “Google Penguin” update, Google only focuses on quality and not the number of links. Therefore, building high-quality links on relevant sources is an essential part of any backlink-building strategy.  

So, following all the algorithmic guidelines, check out the foolproof backlink strategies for SEO 2022. 

  1. Backlinks from Blogs and Authority News Sites 

It is one of the best but not easy ways to build high-quality backlinks for your websites. Getting links from authority news and blog sites is a difficult task but to get the white hat links from such websites, you can take the help of various applications like “HARO” Help a Reporter Out. The website help bloggers connect with various journalists and media professionals who are interested in your story.  

       2. Leverage Testimonials in Your Niche 

The most powerful backlink strategy that can help in creating a powerful homepage link to your website within a second. Providing positive feedback to the clients for using their services and products with a link back to the homepage of your website is a great way to achieve an external link. Never put a testimonial without checking the niche. Follow the steps to do it in a better way: 

  • Create a list of websites whose services and products you have used. 
  • Find out the way to pitch the right person. 
  • Create a useful pitch that includes how their product or services helped you and take permission for putting a testimonial. 
  • Write a perfect testimonial including how the service helped you and provide the results.
