BACKLINKING DON’TS & DO’SIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

BACKLINKING DON’TS
• Don’t buy a backlinking package

• Engage in link exchanges
• You link to me, and I link to you
• Create websites just for linking
• Trust someone who says they can get thousands of links in a few months
• Fall for words like “authority sites” or “buffer blog networks”
• Create fake social media profiles to link back to yourself
• Leave spammy comments on blogs/sites and place links in them

• Write press releases and distribute them through legitimate companies
