The one and only secret behind natural backlink is great content. Natural backlinks are similar to automatic back-links. It will create day by day and all you need is just watch those backlinks.

If other site owners think your website content is useful or does he likes your website, they will give you backlinks. They might impress on your content and they will be ready to share your website link in their website. This is the trick behind natural backlinks. Just write content that useful for the readers instead of writing content to increase the number of post. Know their needs and look what are trending topics.

You can remove bad links through two ways. First way is an easy way, by blocking the linked URL using Google disavow tool. It can be found at Google webmaster tools. You can upload a text file to Google disavow tool, which contain URL that you want to ignore. The second way is ask the owner of that site to remove your link. This way may not be easy. It’s your choice that who should give backlink to you.

You´re completely right, social media is starting to be the key on any natural linkinbuilding strategy. Thanks for sharing
It seems like the game hasn’t really changed that much and I’m sick of all the content is king BS. When hasn’t content been king? Sure people got rank by spamming links but if their website content was trash then they didn’t make money. The whole idea of build it and they will come isn’t true. The idea that now we have to reply on social media for back links does not really santize the link building process because we are still whoring for links via social media. It seems like all blackhatters are going to just spam social media and the people who bought into just create good content mantra are going to lose out. I still think quality links from reputable on topic sites will always work. I think that these form of links will probably need to be create buy the owner of the site that we want our link to come from. I see the cost of links going up and more bartering having to be done.
In your article you mainly telling that ” Natural Backlinks” are very important and if had good content then, other sites add the content in their website and will give “Natural Backlinks”. But, now a days no webmaster is like. They are simply changing some words in the content and publishing in their site. So, how we will get Natural Backlinks?
Hi Sankar, Backlinks are just like sharing URLs. If anyone likes an article or content they can share it by linking that content on their website. By linking it in right place, i mean in relevant pages, both parties will get score among search engine. So focus on your content and share it on social media websites.
I just couldn’t depart your site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard information an individual provide on your visitors?
