One of the SEO best practices I’ve come across is acquiring high-quality outbound links from reputable websites to my Shopify store, as this can significantly improve my Google page ranking.

What strategies would you recommend for curating and maintaining these backlinks, especially dofollow (non-nofollow) links? Also, I assume links from my own Shopify blog wouldn’t count toward this, right?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi

Yes link building is an important term in shopify stores ranking. I can explain it easily. You have to acquire contextual links form well established domains so that google can see your store as a reputable & real store. Also you have to establish your presence on social plateforms so that it appers sthat you are a genuine person & a real deal.

As far as follow/ no follow links are concerned focus on building a natural backlink profile so that it appears as real.

I hope I gave answers to all your question.

Best wishes
