Linkbuilding (link building) is one of the most important techniques in SEO, and although it's true it's not the only one and there are many other techniques that are just as necessary as link building, we shouldn't lose sight of it, since it proves indispensable to get your web project to increase its visibility and position itself in the top spots of Google rankings, which will also translate into an increase in clients.
We are at a time when SEO ranking for a website is no longer an option, but has become a necessity. That's why at Elevam we wanted to explain what it is, what it's for and what benefits an effective linkbuilding strategy will bring to your web project. Pay attention and take note, this interests you.
Linkbuilding, what is it?
Linkbuilding is one of the main strategies that should be carried out when trying to rank a web page on Google. Based on building inbound links (backlinks) to your website, its main goal is to increase a page's authority and help you rank better than your competition.
That said, it's important to consider that naturalness plays a fundamental role for Google, so it's not enough to just create links pointing to your website without any sense; rather, you need to follow a strategy that lets you carry out the creation of quality links that bring value to the user, everything clear so far?
You can do linkbuilding naturally or manually, and both will bring a series of benefits worth considering.

What to consider for your strategy to be effective?
There are many aspects you should consider when carrying out a link building strategy, and below we'll tell you about some of the most important ones you can't miss.
Variety of domains
Google pays special attention to domain diversity, so it's important to ensure your backlinks come from a wide variety of different domains and, ideally, are of quality. It's much better to have one link from various different domains than many links from the same domain. Quality prevails over quantity.
Internal vs external links ratio
When linking to your website through an external domain, it's important to have a proper balance between internal and external links. This is necessary so Google doesn't suspect anything and so you can enjoy the expected results.
Anchor Text
Anchor text refers to the keyword through which you'll link to your website, and it's important that it's a word related to your sector's topic. Here it's best to do a keyword research (keyword study) to find out which anchor texts have the most searches on Google.
It's important that the anchor text is placed in the body of the text, and not in the header, footer or in any of the H1, H2 or H3 headings located throughout the content.
The importance of Link Building in On-Site and Off-Site SEO
Many people believe linkbuilding will only add value to a website for Off-Site ranking, but the truth is that it will also offer benefits to On-Site SEO. We explain why.
Off-Site SEO
Off-Site SEO refers to everything that surrounds your website externally, and many people believe that to rank a web page it's enough to focus on the external part of the website. To get your page to be among the top spots in Google rankings, you must also work on aspects that are outside the website, and here link building plays a leading role.
Building external links pointing to your website will let you gain positions in rankings; in fact, it will be very difficult for Google to determine your website's value if there are no links pointing to it.
On-Site SEO
Link Building is possibly the most important element when doing Off-Site SEO on your website, but it also plays a decisive role within On-Site SEO.
Internal linking within your page will also be linkbuilding, and it's undoubtedly a technique that should be carefully considered. Linking between different pages and categories within your website will bring you value and let you increase authority at the on-page level.
The number of internal links pointing to an internal page will indicate the relevance it has compared to other pages. That said, content has a lot to say here, and the truth is that if you want a page to grow and climb positions, it will be fundamental that it has its own quality content that provides valuable information to users. Otherwise, not only will you not get the expected results, but you may suffer a Google penalty.
Now that we've reviewed the most important aspects related to linkbuilding, have no doubt that an effective strategy will help you improve and increase your visibility in search engines. If you find yourself a bit lost and still don't have a clear idea of how to approach your strategy, don't hesitate to contact us, at Elevam we'll be delighted to help you.
