Always try to avoid bad reputed sites. We all know which site is good and which one is not but let me tell you (porn sites, gambling sites, illegal sites, duplicate content site and spam site). The search engine doesn’t love that type of sites and you as well.  (Am I right, you know what I mean?J

Link Building Mistake 2:- Buying/Selling Links:


Make a distance from buying and selling links. Search engines don’t like buy/sell links. Search engine always love natural links that can be created by Guest post to good blogs and put manually effort to make links from blog commenting.

Don’t create links from irrelevant niche sites.

For me, Make backlinks is very tough task. I don’t like to make backlinks every time. So, some time we make tons of backlinks in a very short duration, that method is totally wrong. Here, I will give you little advice- try to make 4-5 backlinks daily and that is enough. By this you will not bore and within a month, you can generate huge backlinks for your blog. Remember drop by drop, we can fill bucket.

New blogger mainly does this mistake they put backlinks on blogs with anchor text like click here, open it, go to etc. This method is not a good way to make backlink. Just try to put your targeted keyword as anchor text it will help you out to boost up ranking fast and also suggest Google bot for which keyword you want to rank your content on Google Search. (Do some variations on your anchor text to save your content from Google Penguin Update.)


Conclusion: At last according to my blogging experience, I want to say that give first priority to guest post because it also give you a decent amount of traffic for your blog with link juice.

The Question asked by everyone to me:- Nofollow or Dofollow backlinks?

Dofollow and Nofollow Links

Here is my view, both Nofollow and Dofollow are essential for your blog. Dofollow helps you out to make good page rank and passing link juice to your blog’s pages. If you only concentrate on dofollow backlink building then you will definitely catch by search engine due to over SEO. My Blog’s page rank is 2 and you can check our backlinks any time through ahrefs.com that our blog has more than 1K nofollow backlinks and only 60 to 70 dofollow backlinks. So try to make a ratio of Do Follow and No follow 1:10 and keep blogging, never quit.
