Online Forum On Training For Link Builders

A person got a question from their student a few days ago. Their student wants to get deeper into the discipline of link building, but they are not fully aware of how it works. The person is only able to respond from their own experience. They are a non-professional link builder. They thought it would be a good idea to ask the community of marketing professionals and get some ideas and responses.

The student had a lot of questions, starting with what affects the search ranking the most. They also want to know which of those they should value the most in their links. Another question the student had was how much time they should spend on link building, including both paid and unpaid. Finally, they want to know where in the link building process they can set themselves apart and deliver value to customers.

One person said that there is no certification for professional link builder. If a person says they are, then they are. A person said the focus should be on content. Content can be ranked even without links. It will be difficult to rank a new site unless it is around an obscure search term. Others agreed that content is still king.

A commentator did not understand how content can rank without links. Some of the other commentators said that content comes before links. It took them between five and 20 hours per week for serious link building. The research and follow-up took the most time. Another person strongly agreed with relevance over authority.

One person said that link building is a specialty that will be less important in the future. That is because it is highly abused, and Google recognizes that. Google is responding with core update changes that will reset priorities for ranking content. The next large core update is expected to be around May 2021. Links will still be needed, but Google is cracking down on them. A person disagreed with many commentators and said that their friend started a seven-figure link building agency from their bedroom. They do white labels for companies. For more information click here https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/comments/js834c/howtobecomeaprofessional_linkbuilder/.
