SEO Backlink Strategy

Plan and execute effective backlink acquisition strategies to build domain authority.

Why Backlinks Matter

Backlinks = Endorsements. Google views links from other sites as votes of confidence. But not all votes are equal:

• Domain Authority is logarithmic: DA 50 = 10x more powerful than DA 40
• Quality > Quantity: One CNN link (DA 90) > 100 low-DA links
• Link juice distribution: If a page has 100 links, value is split. 2 links = more value each.

In the AI Era: LLMs like ChatGPT pull from top-ranked, well-linked sources. Backlinks still determine authority for AI recommendations.
