There’s a lot of turmoil in the world of link building. For years, many webmasters relied on spam and automated backlink building tools to get high rankings on Google. These methods don’t work anymore. Fortunately, there is a way to get high quality backlinks to your site.
Step 1: forget robots and think like a human
Before Google’s Penguin update, many webmasters thought that link building was for robots. You entered your keywords and the link building tool automatically created hundreds of backlinks with your keywords in the anchor text.
The fact that these backlinks didn’t make any sense for human visitors didn’t worry most of these people. Unfortunately, Google didn’t like these backlinks at all and as soon as their algorithms were good enough to detect these backlinks, websites that relied on spam backlinks experienced massive ranking drops.
The age of fully automated link building with robots is over. If you want to succeed in the modern world of link building, you have to think and act like a human.
Step 2: find good target websites
Getting relevant links is the only sustainable link building strategy. The basis of a successful link building campaign are the websites that link to your site. Finding these sites can be difficult. It is easy if you have the right tools.

Find a reason to contact the owner of the other website. Would a link to your site be a resource for visitors of the other site? Can you contribute unique content to the other website?
