What is link building and how does it affect website positioning?
Link building is the process of acquiring backlinks (links of various types) from other websites to your website. Google treats these links as a kind of “vote of confidence” – the more valuable sites link to you, the higher your domain’s authority in the eyes of the search engine.
Since 2013, when Google introduced the Penguin algorithm, the quality of links has become more important than their quantity, e.g., one link from a portal about travel is worth more than 100 links from a portal about fashion. >Since 2013, when Google introduced the Penguin algorithm, the quality of links has become more important than their quantity.
For example, one link from a portal with a Domain Rating of 70 and natural traffic of 50,000 users per month is worth more than 100 cheap links from websites with no visitors.
Benefits of professional link building:
- Increased domain authority – Your website gains credibility in the eyes of Google (and other search engines such as Bing).
- Improved SERP ranking – Websites with a strong link profile rank higher. Well-chosen links from thematic portals help you stay ahead of the competition on key commercial phrases.
- Increased organic traffic – Better Google rankings mean more visits. In addition, links from popular websites generate direct referral traffic – people click and land on your website.
- Building brand recognition – Publications in industry media make your company more recognizable through brand mentions. It's not just SEO, but also content marketing and building an image as an expert.
- Faster indexing – Pages with an active link profile are visited more often by Google bots. New subpages are indexed faster, which accelerates the effects of SEO activities.
Effective link building – what is it and what should you avoid?
The most important rules for effective link building in 2026
The quality of the source is paramount
High DR/DA – The minimum is Domain Rating 30+. The optimal sources are portals with DR 40-60. Links from DR 60-90 portals cost relatively more, but give a proportionally greater effect.
Natural organic traffic – The portal should have a minimum of 1,000 users per month from search engines. Ideally, 5,000-50,000. Without organic traffic, a link is practically worthless – Google sees that no one is reading this website.
Thematic match to your industry – A link from a food portal to an insurance company? Google sees that this is unnatural. It is better to choose portals that are thematically close to your business or universal lifestyle/news sites with a relevant section.
The link profile must be natural
The mix of anchors is crucial. A natural profile is:
- 40% brand (company name: e.g., “SEO MAG”)
- 30% URL (website address: e.g., “seomag.app”)
- 15% exact match (exact phrase: “insurance for companies,” “link building”)
- 15% zero match (general: “click here,” “read more,” “check out the offer”)
Dofollow/nofollow ratio – A natural profile is about 70-80% dofollow, the rest nofollow. If you only have dofollow, Google may consider it manipulation.
Gradual acquisition – Don’t publish 500 links at once. A safe pace is 3-15 valuable links per month.
Value for the reader – The article must be substantive and useful. User first, SEO second. If the text sounds like an advertisement, readers will flee.

SEO MAG platform – 440+ thematic portals for SEO links in one place
What forms of link building do we offer?
Sponsored articles
(the most popular form)
Publication of a substantive article of 800-1500 words with 1-3 dofollow links to your website. The text is thematically tailored to the portal’s industry and your business.
Permanent publication – The article remains on the website without an expiration date (as long as the portal is operational). This is a long-term investment, and the link will work for you for years.
(It is also possible to purchase a link for a period of 1 year, but lifetime publication is only slightly more expensive, so this is the recommended option)
References and links in existing articles
Adding a link or mention of your brand in an already published text. The publisher finds a suitable article in their archive and naturally weaves your link into the existing context.
Faster implementation – no need to write new text from scratch.
Natural context in an article with high DR – These are often texts that already have organic traffic and positions in Google. A link in such an article immediately generates visits.

What is guest posting and how does it differ from sponsored articles?
Guest posting is a content marketing strategy in which you publish valuable articles on other people’s blogs and websites as a guest author. In return, you receive a backlink to your website and access to a new audience.
Differences between guest posting and sponsored articles:
Guest posting:
- You or your team create content as authors
- Higher level of expertise and authority
- Often requires editorial approval
- Builds your brand as an expert
- Link often in the author’s bio or content context
Sponsored articles:
- The agency or publisher creates the content
- More promotional in nature (but subtle)
- Faster implementation
- Focuses on the product/service
- Link always in the article content
Brand mentions – a new era of link building
Google (and any AI-based tools or chats) increasingly treats brand mentions (even without a link) as a signal of authority and popularity. Brand mentions are natural mentions of your company in the content of other websites.
Why are mentions important in 2026?
- Google recognizes brands – algorithms can connect mentions to your website even without a link
- Signal of trust – frequent mentions = recognizable brand
- Direct traffic – users type the brand into Google after reading about it
- Building authority not only in search engines, but also in AI models such as chat gpt, gemini, claude, and perplexity – the more mentions of your brand, the greater the chance that AI tools will also mention it in, for example, automatically written articles or people’s queries in AI chatbots
- The future of SEO – links are becoming less dominant, while context and mentions are gaining importance

Link building – frequently asked questions and answers
What is link building and why is it important?
Link building is the process of acquiring valuable backlinks from other websites to your site. It involves building a network of connections that Google’s algorithms treat as “votes of confidence” – the more high-quality sites link to your site, the more authority you gain in the eyes of the search engine. Effective link building focuses on quality, not quantity. One link from a reputable industry portal is more valuable than dozens of links from unknown, random websites.
Why is link building important for SEO?
Link building is one of the three most important Google ranking factors. Without a strong link profile, your website has no chance of achieving high positions in search results, regardless of the quality of its content or technical optimization.
Benefits of professional link building:
- Higher rankings in Google – a strong link profile is a signal of authority for algorithms
- More organic traffic – better rankings = more visits from search engines
- Building credibility – links from trusted sources increase the perceived value of your brand
- Long-term effects – a good strategy protects against drops after algorithm updates
- Referral traffic – users click on links and visit your site directly
How long does it take to see the effects of link building?
The first effects (increase in Domain Rating, new long-tail keyword positions) usually appear after 1-3 months of systematic activity. If the website is systematically linked, fluctuations in phrases may appear after just a few days/weeks. A significant improvement in positions for competitive phrases requires 3-6 months of continuous campaigning. Lasting effects can be seen after 6-12 months of regularly acquiring valuable links.
What are the most important SEO parameters for a website?
The most important parameters are: Domain Rating (DR) min. 30+, natural organic traffic min. 1000 users/month, visibility in Google for thematic phrases, no spam score, domain history min. 1 year, thematic match to your industry. Avoid portals with no traffic, DR below 20, high spam score (30+) or a visible history of penalties from Google.
How many links should I acquire each month?
It depends on the competition in your industry, the age of your domain, and your current link profile. As a general rule, 3-15 valuable links per month is a safe pace for most websites.
What is anchor text and what types are best?
Anchor text is clickable link text.
Types of anchor text:
1. Exact match
- Anchor = exact key phrase
- Example: “website positioning”
- Risk: looks artificial when overused
- Usage: maximum 10-15% of the link profile
2. Partial match
- Anchor contains a phrase + additional words
- Example: “professional website positioning in Google”
- Advantage: more natural, safer
- Usage: 20-30% of the link profile
3. Branded
- Anchor = brand/company name
- Example: “SEO MAG”, “Your Company”
- Advantage: most natural, zero risk
- Usage: 30-40% of link profile
4. Naked URL
- Anchor = full URL
- Example: “https://seomag.app“
- Advantage: natural, often in quotes
- Usage: 10-15% of link profile
5. Generic
- Anchor = general phrases such as “click here,” “more information”
- Example: “check the offer,” “see more”
- Advantage: natural, often used in navigation
- Usage: 10-20% of the link profile
6. Image anchor
- Anchor = alt text of the image with the link
- Example: “[image] infographic about SEO”
- Advantage: visual, natural
- Usage: 5-10% of link profile
Do nofollow links have any value in SEO?
Yes! Nofollow links do not directly transfer “link juice,” but they: (1) diversify the link profile (a natural profile has a mix of dofollow/nofollow links), (2) generate traffic from other sites, (3) build brand awareness.
How can I check my website's link profile?
The best tools are: Ahrefs ($129/month, best link database, Domain Rating), Semrush ($199/month, comprehensive SEO), Majestic ($46.99/month, Trust Flow/Citation Flow), Google Search Console (free, basic data), Senuto ($30/month, Polish market). With these tools, you can check: the number of links, referring domains, anchor texts, DR/DA of your domain, spam score, and link history.
Can I acquire links on my own without using a link building platform?
Yes, you can: (1) contact blog/portal publishers directly, (2) create valuable content that people link to naturally, (3) collaborate with business partners (link exchange), (4) publish guest posts, (5) participate in industry interviews.
Is link building safe?
Link building is completely safe when using white hat SEO and natural link acquisition methods that comply with Google’s guidelines.
Safe link building practices:
- Sponsored articles on valuable websites
- Guest posting with substantive content
- Linking from industry directories
- Natural brand mentions
- Digital PR and media cooperation
- Links from expert content and interviews
What to avoid (black hat – dangerous):
- Mass buying of links from link farms
- Link exchange in the “link for link” style
- Links from spam comments
- Hidden links and cloaking
Where to publish sponsored articles?
The best places to publish sponsored articles:
Industry and thematic portals:
- Specialized websites in your niche (IT, finance, health, automotive, etc.)
- Expert blogs with an established audience
- B2B portals for industrial sectors
Information portals:
- Regional news services (for local businesses)
- Nationwide news portals (Onet, WP, Interia – for premium budgets)
- Lifestyle and advice portals
Industry media:
