In this post I will share with you four bad seo practices. I will specifically talk about bad methods newbie’s also use to get backlinks. These methods are useless and are also dangerous for your websites seo.
Backlinks are very essential for search engine optimizations (seo) if you want to drive organic traffics to your website or blog then you should consider getting some quality backlinks. The advantages of backlinks has made lots of people who are new to blogging and search engine optimizations (seo) to take part in some funny means of getting backlinks. The disadvantages of these means which I will will share with you is that it won’t only be useless but it will hurt your search engines optimizations and it will also reduce your organic traffics when you get caught or reported to Google. These methods may have been effective until Google introduced doffolow and nofollow link attributes.
What is a dofollow link?
A dofollow link is a link that tells search engines that the website or blog in the link is quality and it should be counted and also affects search engine optimization increasing the organic traffics of a website.
What is a nofollow link?
On the contrary nofollow links does the opposite of dofollow links they simply tell search engines or Google to ignore the links for search engine optimization purposes therefore treating it as an ordinary link. Below are the five backlink methods you should not even try. Beginners always make this mistake.
Four Backlinks methods you should avoid
1. Social media comment spamming
I have seen most beginners who make these mistakes most of them go around facebook commenting with multiple links on the same comment thinking it will count as a backlink social media comments only provides nofollow links which will never directly increase your seo. It is pointless to add multiple links to facebook or social media comments for the purpose of seo.
2. Social media posting
This is also a useless method when it comes to getting backlinks because posts on social media like facebook, twitter Google plus are all nofollow links. I came across a post on twitter that the user added only links up to a thousand links. I couldn’t stop laughing he/she actually thought he has just gained a thousand backlinks. Adding thousands of links to a post on social media does not increase your ranking. It is advisable to use social media to drive traffics and reach audience online in the right way.
3. Submitting your link to online backlinks generator sites
This is another useless method and a big waste of time these site claims to give you thousands or hundreds of backlinks but it is all fake. If you check for your backlinks with this free tool www.ahrefs.com you will find out that these sites has given you no backlinks.
4. Creating a new website just for backlinks
Some desperate and new bloggers also make this mistake creating a new website and adding a great number of backlinks will in no way increase your rankings these links maybe dofollow but they is another important factor when it comes to backlinks. The age of the domain counts for a quality backlinks also the domain score and authority. New websites with new domains has little or no domain authority thus can’t influence your seo. To get quality backlinks you should do guest posting on the top blogs in your niche.
