Hey @alittlemonk ,

Buying backlinks go against Google Webmaster Guidelines.

but how to get backlink automatically and easy

Hi, @alittlemonk

I understand that you are curious about buying backlinks.

@Anonymous is correct however, you should not be buying backlinks in these cases.

Knowing how to get backlinks is an important part of search engine optimization (SEO), as it helps your website rank higher in search engine results pages (SERP) and delivers a steady stream of traffic. Realistically, there are likely hundreds—if not millions—of sites very similar to yours. How do search engines choose which to show on the first page?

How to get backlinks: 15 ways1. Be a resource for journalists

  1. Use HARO or hire a HARO agency
  2. Publish original research or data
  3. Create statistic roundup pages
  4. Publish free tools
  5. Find unlinked mentions and ask for a backlink
  6. Repair broken links
  7. See who’s linking to your competitors
  8. Utilize your business network
  9. Analyze existing referral traffic
  10. Pitch inclusion on a resource page
  11. Have your products reviewed
  12. Join communities
  13. Be a podcast guest
  14. Don’t forget about internal links

Hi @alittlemonk

As correctly mentioned by @Rein it is not a good idea to buy backlinks. However, you can follow the steps mentioned to gain backlinks. Also, make sure that you get backlinks from websites that have higher domain authority. This will help a lot.

As far as I know, this is still relevant. I would say that the SEO field as a whole somehow violates Google’s policy a little bit, which is constantly changing, often in order to promote links to their sites, people do things that are not quite “legal” for Google. I know that copywriters are often hired to promote this links. To do this, they write texts in which they mention sites that need to be promoted, and Google does not approve this, so if you do it wrong, the site will even become less in demand when searching. Therefore, SEO companies try to be as careful as possible to extract only profit. If you know how to use backlinks correctly, then everything should work.
