Well, links is what everyone wants for it defines more traffic.The internet is fast and constantly evolving so as online marketing, this we all know but usually we don’t discussed for reasons that everybody is scared to innovate on the current practice and do experimentations.

Trust should be built not links
One of the most difficult things to learn is Trust. Sometimes a month is enough for it. With this guiding principle, you must understand that your search engine optimization campaign should always exist for investments that are long-standing instead of setting eyes only on the easiest way to get traffic and rank high. Doing things hastily will be most likely interpreted by search engines as blackhat and nobody even you likes that.
When building links we often choose to have easily get links. Like you were able to have 30 backlinks of high quality with the used of forum posting, blog commenting and the likes but the question is, would those give you trust from users and search engines? To be considered as a good reference, you should make an effort to show real value for your site.
Do not act like a desperado
When you think you already have worked hard and that your targeted keywords’ rankings are already doing good but still you find yourself stuck in the second page, you shall not worry much. Being able to rank already means your search term is already significant. The only reason why being in the first page is quite elusive for you is the trust. When this is happening, the search engine does not trust you that much yet so they have placed you behind, but as a reserve. Again, you should not worry about these. You don’t have to bombard anchor text links towards you site that would clearly look like spamming for search engines are already aware that your page is relevant to the keywords. What you need to do is prove that you are trustworthy before they will give you a much better position. In life, trust takes time to build so as with search engine.
When working on the link building strategy, once your site is being considered by the search as a contender for the targeted keyword it is best for you then to use own brand name. However, it is also best that your anchor texts be your keywords when good opportunity arises. This is best applicable in internal linking and guest blogging.
Forget about “dofollow” and “nofollow”
Link attributes like the “nofollow” and “dofollow” are not necessary in building trust. The most important thing to do is to have your links built from reputable, quality and relevant sites. If you wish to be an authority on your certain field, then you must employ smart strategies on link building. The most effective way to have this is to be certain that the efforts exerted on link development would be seen more natural as that we commonly know about.
In doing this, you should be picky in identifying sites that you should link from. Pick those that will really show trust both in the public’s eyes and of the search engines. Concentrate on having the real value on your link, and lessen interests on ordinary off-page methodologies on SEO.
