's list was a useful starting point, and and were right that variety matters — but priorities have shifted since 2011. Modern ranking behavior rewards helpful, experience/expertise-authoritative content and the natural, editorial links that content earns. Treat link-building as a byproduct of useful content and reputation, not a checklist of submissions. (developers.google.com)

A practical, modern ordering to use as a framework:

  1. Create link-worthy assets (original research, long-form guides, tools).
  2. Digital PR / targeted outreach to earn editorial placements.
  3. On-page & technical SEO (speed, mobile, schema, internal linking).
  4. Community engagement and thoughtful guest contributions (not spammy comments).
  5. Local citations/directories when the business is local.
  6. Social amplification to surface content.
  7. Mass directory/bookmark/classified blasts and “link wheels” — low-value or risky; avoid doing these at scale. This approach reduces exposure to link-spam policies and manual actions. (developers.google.com)

Practical monthly workflow (simple): run a backlink audit, fix technical issues, publish 1–4 linkable pieces, then spend time pitching and following up. A rough split that works for many sites is ~60–70% content + outreach, 20–30% technical/on-page, 10% distribution & local cleanup. Use Google’s disavow only if you’ve been hit by a manual action or can’t get clearly spammy links removed. (developers.google.com)

Cautions tied to the thread: ’ link-wheel idea is a classic example of a risky scheme that can trigger penalties; press releases are useful for discovery and PR but not as a cheap link hack (links are often nofollowed) — use them only for genuinely newsworthy items. Yahoo Answers no longer exists, so skip suggestions that rely on it. The safe, repeatable path is “earn, don’t manufacture” links and keep on-page fundamentals solid. (searchengineland.com)

They are all absolutely important. In fact, the only way to successfully achieve a good off-page SEO campaign is to use as many different techniques as possible.

I would recommend using all of the above on a monthly basis. A nice even mixture of all the above will work best.

Forum and also Link Exchange are the best ways of ranking higher in SERP's.

Member Avatar for dollyclay

Article submissions, bookmarking, Wiki pages, Linkwheel will definitely help to increase the SERP.

WEll you see you can't order them in high priority as they are all inter-linked with each,for example when submitting article to different directories it's advisable to book-mark articles,by which more chances are that Google will credit that back-link and what i think personally is most important thing is Link wheels which are most effective.

According to me every one practices has its own importance so basically I perform all the activity to get my website on first page of serp.

Member Avatar for limohire

only off page activities are not use full to increase SERPs, do also on page activities like regular update your website with unique and relevant content and new eye catching design.

Member Avatar for qlipboard

I do agree with Tnkleathers. All the activities need to be given equal importance. If any one activity is ignored, then it may affect the SERPs.
