Here's a PSA: backlinks are officially outdated and detrimental to your website in 2024.
Not only are backlinks expensive (it can cost thousands of dollars), there is also a HIGH CHANCE you will get penalized for it!
While backlinks may have once been effective, Google has evolved and has gotten smarter in combatting spammy link-building tactics.
Now, if you engage in shady backlink-building, Google WILL know – and Google will penalize you for it. Then what happens?
Many so-called “SEO experts” will deny this. They will tell you that backlinks are necessary to rank on Google.
But they are lying. Why? Because their livelihood depends on selling an ancient technique that no longer works.
It's no secret that Google is always updating their search algorithms to improve the quality of search results. Most notably though, is that a majority of these updates specifically targeted manipulative backlink tactics:
Target: Manipulative SEO tactics (low-quality backlinks, keyword stuffing)
Significant drop in rankings and traffic for a big number of websites
Target: Shady backlink schemes like link farms and link spam
Major penalties and deindexing of websites involved in link schemes
Target: Spammy backlink profiles (paid links, sitewide links, low-quality directories, spammy comments)
Severe penalties that included complete removal from search results
Target: Low-quality links and manipulative practices
Websites faced manual actions, resulting in drastic drops in rankings and traffic
For many years now, employees at Google have repeatedly downplayed the influence of backlinks on rankings:
“We need very few links to rank pages… Over the years we've made links less important.”
“First, backlinks as a signal have a lot less significant impact compared to when Google Search first started out many years ago. We have robust ranking signals, hundreds of them, to make sure that we are able to rank the most relevant and useful results for all queries.”
“I think they are important, but I think people overestimate the importance of links. I don't agree it's in the top three. It hasn't been for some time.”
So, you have 1) many Google updates tackling backlinks and 2) Google employees saying they're not as important anymore. What does this mean?
Instead, here is what you need to do.
Here comes the undeniable truth not many know:
Internal linking is the ONLY link strategy that will work for achieving high rankings.
…but only if done the RIGHT way.
Make no mistake, this internal linking strategy is different from what you're used to.
In fact, I want you to FORGET everything you thought you knew about internal linking – because it won't give you the high rankings you desire.
The link strategy I'm sharing here is a PRECISE internal linking strategy that adheres closely to Google's own preferences for internal linking.
It facilitates easier crawling of your website by Google bots, which tells them your website is well-structured.
Google bots can efficiently discover more pages on your website, speeding up the indexing process.
It helps Google understand your site's content, further establishing your topical authority.
Users enjoy a positive navigating experience, as they can easily explore your content for more information, reducing bounce rates and sending positive signals to Google.
You might still be skeptical about all this.
You're not alone. Many think the same. But real-life evidence tells a different story.
Numerous case studies demonstrate that websites with ZERO backlinks and only GOOD internal linking can rank high on Google.
What happens when a website prioritizes great content and precise internal linking without relying on backlinks?
This website in question saw an explosive growth to 1,500,000 monthly traffic with zero backlinks – only content and internal links.
But it's not an isolated success story.
Google's strong preference for internal linking is also reinforced by none other than Google themselves.
When asked about whether internal linking is important for SEO, here is what John Mueller, Google Search Advocate said:

So, now we know Google has a liking towards internal linking and doesn't shy away from publicizing this.
But we also know that there are certain linking practices that they are looking for.
These practices are the core of the precise internal linking strategy you need to implement to boost your rankings.
Knowing this, here comes the big question:
Your first thought would be to just do internal linking yourself - which is definitely doable…
… if you have all the time in the world with nothing better to do.
The problem with manual internal linking is that it consumes way too much time and effort.
This begs the next question,
Our survey reveals that:
Why? Because existing internal linking tools simply can't get it right.
They rely on overly simplistic, black-and-white rules that focus on keywords instead of overall context and relationships.
As a result:
The biggest problem with both manual internal linking and using internal linking tools is this:
Does that mean you're out of options? That you're doomed with no solutions to your internal linking struggles?
Not at all.
