Link building is a technique used in SEO to increase the quantity and quality of external links pointing to a specific website, either for related content, recommended or for an economic agreement. This strategy seeks to improve the authority and relevance of the website for search engines, thus increasing its ranking.
Link building includes activities such as creating quality content to attract links in a natural way, exchanging links with other websites, participating in link directories, collaborating with bloggers or influencers to obtain mentions and links, among other tactics. Backlinks from websites with a high domain authority and relevance in the same topic as one’s own site have a higher value in terms of SEO. Proper indexing of these backlinks by search engines is essential for them to contribute positively to the website’s SEO.
On the other hand, low quality links or links from irrelevant websites can even have a negative impact on SEO. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly monitor the link building strategy, avoiding practices considered as “spam” by search engines, such as the massive purchase of links or the participation in unnatural link exchange schemes.
