INFOGRAPHIC · HOW LINKS PASS AUTHORITY

Authority flows through links

When a trusted site links to one of your pages, some of its authority flows to that page. Your own internal links then pass it on to the pages that bring in customers — service pages, products and landing pages.

That is why we plan links and internal linking together, pointing authority where it earns the most. Followed links pass the most value; nofollow, sponsored and UGC links are treated as hints.

INTERACTIVE · LINK QUALITY CHECKER

Is that link worth having?

Tick what is true for a link you are offered. The meter shows how valuable and safe it is likely to be.

A simple guide based on what Google's guidelines describe as valuable and what they describe as link spam.

INFOGRAPHIC · ANCHOR TEXT

A natural mix of anchor text

Anchor text is the clickable words in a link. When too many links use the exact keyword you want to rank for, it looks manipulated. A natural profile is mostly your brand name and web address, with a smaller share of descriptive phrases.

The right mix depends on your market and competitors — we check theirs during the audit. Find the phrases worth targeting with our free keyword research tool.

Example

  • Branded 40%e.g. “TECHTARN”
  • Naked URL 20%e.g. “techtarn.com”
  • Generic 15%e.g. “this guide · read more”
  • Partial match 15%e.g. “link building tips”
  • Exact match 10%e.g. “link building services”

FAQ

Link building FAQs

Answers to the questions clients ask us most.

What is link building?
Link building is the work of getting other websites to link to yours. Links from relevant, trusted sites are one of the signals search engines use to judge how authoritative a page is.
Are backlinks still important for SEO?
Yes. Content and technical SEO matter most, but links from relevant, trusted sites still help pages rank — especially for competitive keywords. They also bring referral traffic and brand awareness.
Do you buy links or use PBNs?
No. Buying links or using private blog networks breaks Google's spam policies and can lead to penalties. We earn links through outreach, PR and content.
What makes a good backlink?
Relevance, real traffic, an editorial placement inside useful content and natural anchor text. Try the link quality checker above.
How many links do I need?
It depends on your competitors. We compare your link profile with the sites ranking above you and plan to close the gap, focusing on quality rather than a fixed number.
How long until links improve rankings?
Usually two to four months after links are indexed, and longer for very competitive terms. Links keep adding value over time.
What anchor text should links use?
Mostly your brand name and URL, with some natural descriptive phrases. Too many exact-match anchors look unnatural. See the anchor text chart above.
What is a disavow file?
A file that tells Google to ignore specific links. It is only needed for clearly harmful links you cannot get removed — most sites never need one.
Do nofollow links have any value?
Google treats nofollow, sponsored and UGC as hints. They can still bring traffic and brand exposure, and a natural profile includes some of them.
Can link building work with local SEO?
Yes — local links from associations, sponsors and news sites support your map rankings. See our local SEO services.
