It's no secret that getting quality of back links helps boost website traffic. Here are some techniques to help you get started with link building and SEO:

- article submissions

- comment on blogs

- classified ads

- directory listings

- link exchange

- forum posting

- press release

- social groups - facebook, linkedin, etc

- social bookmarking

----

SEO is about quality NOT quantity!

-Links don't bring in traffic if they are from directories or crap sites that nobody visits.

-It's all about the quality of the links and knowing where to find them. What other websites does your target market visit online?

-Do some research into your keywords/industry/competition/customers/etc and you'll probably find some great links out there that will bring in tons of traffic!

-Analyze your keywords/website analytics and check bounce rates... optimize pages as needed.Add articles and keyword content pages as needed

-Add value for customers

Good starter list from — useful tactics, but the meaning of “quality” needs updating and a bit of prioritizing. Public Toolbar PageRank is gone, so chasing a PR score isn’t a modern measure of link value; instead focus on unique, editorial links from relevant sites (referring domains correlate with organic traffic more than raw link counts). (searchengineland.com)

What a quality backlink looks like today: an editorially placed link inside useful content, on a site your audience actually reads, where the link is natural (not keyword-stuffed) and likely to send clicks. Google explicitly flags large-scale, link-first article campaigns and manipulative schemes — and since 2019 recommends marking paid or user-generated links with rel=\"sponsored\"/\"ugc\" (these attributes are now treated as “hints” by Google). Treat links as votes by humans, not automated tokens. (developers.google.com)

A short, practical workflow to apply now:

  • Build one “linkable” asset first: original research, tools, long-form guides, industry data or a useful widget.
  • Do competitor backlink research and compile a prioritized prospect list of relevant sites and journalists.
  • Outreach with a personalized pitch; use digital PR (HARO, reporters, local press), broken-link outreach, and genuine guest contributions sparingly.
  • Measure by referring domains and referral traffic (Search Console + Analytics), not vanity counts; aim for anchor-text diversity and links in body content rather than footers.

If you find spammy links, try manual removal first — use Google’s disavow only in the rare cases of a manual action or when removal is impossible. Avoid bulk-buying or automated link services; quality editorial links plus a solid on‑page UX will outperform cheap volume over time. (developers.google.com)

For readers matching replies above: and — relevance + editorial placement beats any obsolete “PR” chase; and — avoid black‑hat tactics and keep on‑page fundamentals tight; — yes, weak links can bring traffic, but scale your efforts toward links that actually send users and sit in editorial context.

Very true comment indeed. Another important factor in optimizing SEO is not to follow any black hat SEO tactics.

If you are getting links from totally unrelated pages then you are wasting time.

Quality links have both high PR and are relevant to the topic of the page your linking to.

If you have a page about 'widget a' then your links should be from related sites about 'widget a'

Quality Backlinks are proven effective rather than quantity, For ranking purposes quality is the game but if conversions I suggest quantity.

Quality backlinks are backlinks left at sites that have a very good PR and that have quality content and are reliable sources. The reason it should be quality is simple, say you post 300 backlinks but those links were left at sites that no one visits and have no PR or a PR1, you are better off leaving 100 links at 100 PR5 and above sites. That is what quality refers to.

The above list refers to all of the techniques in Off-Page SEO which are used to help build the quality links needed.

I´m not sure if I agree with this narrow focus on "quality backlinks" only. My experience is that "a link is a link" and always gets you some results. I mean, the ideal is of course to create links from PR 5+ sites with the same topic as your site, but I have seen great results with much - in theory - "weaker" links aswell.

With regards to SEO, remember these things:

On-Page Optimization - it deals with the proper use of title tags, meta tags, keywords, description, alt attributes (use for describing images), content, h1/h2 tags, sitemap and robots.txt.

Off-Page Optimization - its responsible for creating inbound links. Article submission, blog commenting, press release, classified ads and social bookmarking are just some of the techniques that fall under Off-Page.

Great post. Now I know that having back links from high PR sites and relevant sites are more important than having so many back links from crap sites with no PR.

Yes links from low PR sites can be a great source of traffic... there are lots of newer sites out there that haven't grown through the PR ranks
