Hi! I am a blogger, who desperately try to build better ranking and visitor base. I want more links pointing to my site, but am afraid of Google penalty. So how you guys build links, I mean honestly in real life.

Thread thread captures the exact dilemma raised: more links without risking a penalty. Responses from and point to relevance and content; the automated-backlink claim by and the rebuttal from show why shortcuts are risky. The safest, repeatable strategy is to earn editorial links from genuinely useful assets and human-scale outreach rather than chasing volume with automation.

Linkable-asset ideas that consistently attract editorial links: original data/case studies, tools or calculators, long-form how-to guides with reproducible examples, curated resource pages, templates/checklists, and high-quality visuals (charts, diagrams). A practical workflow that turns an asset into links:

  1. Identify authoritative pages or resource lists that cover the topic (look for pages linking to competitors).
  2. Create a focused asset that fills a clear gap or improves on existing resources.
  3. Send short, personalized outreach to the page owner explaining the gap and offering the asset as an update.
  4. Track responses and follow up once; prioritize relationships over mass pitching.

Risk-management and quality signals matter: keep anchor-text natural and varied (brand + descriptive long-tail rather than exact-match overload), acquire links at a steady pace, avoid paid/automated backlink packages, and prefer editorial placements where the site links because the audience benefits. Guest contributions are acceptable when they serve the host’s readers, not just to place a link.

Monitoring and recovery checklist: track referring domains in Google Search Console and a backlink tool, log outreach and placements in a simple spreadsheet, watch for sudden surges in low-quality links, attempt manual removals first, and use a disavow only as a last resort after documenting removal efforts. This keeps link growth sustainable and reduces the chance of manual actions.

Mainly I search for relevant sites with good neighbourhood. Then make a logical backing using my sites Tag, Title, Keywords and Description. And for blog, forum and article I always build backlink within the anchor text that looks natural.

Since you're a blogger you should focus more on writing useful content so that people will link to your post. This is one way you can get backlinks.

Before writing post, do keywords research and try to add these keywords into your post, which will increase your chances to rank in Search engine.

Also you should comment on other blogs related to your niche.

first sirch site related to your title and then post link

You said you are a blogger so you have a site in blogspot.com I guess? You know Google's product is always trusted and there is no penalty of getting junk links to authority sites like Blogspot. You can try to get thousands of automated backlinks to your site from automated software or service like <DELETED>. There will be no penalty!

I know I sound like black hat but we tested this with our blogsite! There is still no penalty.

are you series about your reply? lol

Google Penalty for all the sites, there is no more exceptions on web2.0 or micro blogs.

if you have a great content then you will earn back links naturally. so try to post a Good Quality post at your blog.
