Creating content is the solutions for those problems. This
can be the heart of a link building strategy. Some say it’s
difficult to build links to product pages. That’s true. That’s
why building links to Solution Pages is a more viable
strategy.
We believe that (in general) less people are reading
blogs. Other forms of content distribution that work well
on mobile devices have replaced blogs. Content on sites
like Instagram, YouTube and others are typical.
So need to find, where your audience is, then be there
with your content that solves problems. Create your
content so that it fits the context of where your audience
is.

Usefulness is key. This is different from viral link strategies.
Viral link strategies are generally focused on trivial
emotional and reaction-based triggers, part of what is
referred to as the cult of distraction. This results in links
from a wide variety of irrelevant sites that may not be as
useful as the more relevant links and “shares” cultivated by
getting people excited about something that is useful.
Because, Link building is not about the quantity of links. It’s
about the rankings and sales lift that the links provide. The
quantity of links don’t matter anymore. That’s why viral and
link bait strategies are increasingly irrelevant, because the
links they generate are also irrelevant.

When Google’s algorithm was aligned with links it made
sense to tune the SEO strategy to links. Now that Google is
focusing on users, solutions and niches, the link building
approach has to shift as well. We have a pragmatic
approach SEO. Our strategy bends with the direction the
Google wind is blowing. We don’t do platitudes.
**The chief reason is that Google’s algorithm is tuned
toward pleasing users.**
All of the above are methods for establishing authority,
cultivating traffic, and making your site known. What ties all
the points together is focusing on people, on users.

Why Link Quotas Can Be
CounterProductive
The concept of coordinating content creation with the link building
process and discusses why link building quotas can sometimes result in
links that do not improve sales.
A problem facing link building today projects is a disconnect between
the goals of link building (more links) and the goals of the company
(more sales/leads/ad views). Additionally, there are “other signals” that
may be playing a role. This results in link strategies with diminishing
effect. The link builder did what they needed to do to fulfill their
contract.
This resulted in links that met agreed upon metrics. Yet despite having
an agreement about links, the quality of the links still fell short and the
project resulted in no increase in traffic, sales or leads.
There were two reasons that the link building project failed:
@. Link building was not coordinated with the content
@. The Link building was focused on meeting quotas and metric
benchmarks
The links did not match the high quality of the site itself.
So, best link building should have some degree of integration and
coordination with a content strategy.

Links still matter, but content has , in expert opinion, gained
increasing influence in what ranks. Here are some points:-
First Barrier to the SERPs: The Core Algorithm.
Second Barrier to the SERPs: Content Analysis.
Trustworthiness and Links.
The takeaway for link building.
Can Google Identify Paid Links.
Link Distance Ranking Algorithms.
Links Overruled
In order to stay in the SERPs it’s important to think about the
outbound links on your site and the sites you obtain links from.
Think in terms of reduced link graphs, with non-spam on the
outside stuck within their own cliques and the non-spam on the
inside within the trusted Reduced Link Graph.
Reduced link graphs are a way that search engines can identify
high quality websites and remove low quality spam sites from
the link ranking calculation. Published research demonstrates
that reduced link graphs are an effective way to rank links.

Coordinate Content with
Links
Concept of coordinating the link building process with the
content creation initiative. Specifically it links three qualities
of content and links that can influence the success of a link:
Meaning of a Search Query
Topic of a Link
Topic of a Web Page
Content creation and link acquisition should coordinate with
each other is because of how tightly Google matches the
context between the page where a link is created and the
page that the link is pointing to and the search query a
searcher is making.
Of course, the page on which the link originates has to be on
a topically relevant. And that should ideally exist on a site
that is topically relevant. And that site should ideally belong
to a topically relevant branch of the link graph.
