The real question is, what are the most effective backlinks for seo in 2014? That is the question I had heard someone blurt out while I was leaving the discussion and going to my classes.
The crazy thing about search engine optimization in 2014 is that many things haven't even changed since I first caught the bug a few years ago. I find that most of the seo community (mostly newbs and followers) are so easily manipulated and believe just about anything before ever doing any type of real research and experimenting on their own.
As far as backlinks...
Just about any back link still seems effective for moving up rankings. Of course not all links are equal in the eyes of Google.
On-Page Optimization is your number one place to begin.
A relevant domain name, titles and focused quality content is much needed to see best results in the serp's.
The main thing that has changed to stay competitive in the SEO world are the amount of back links needed to push a site into the first positions. I remember when spammy links and even the right social signals could make things happen quickly, but now it takes more of them to get the same job done.
That is why seo automated tools and services play a huge roll in today's search engines.
A very popular tool today is senuke and ms. They both cost a bit with their recurring bills, but many people have figured out how to work these tools and get rankings much faster with them.
Magic submitter training is probably the most thorough and comes in many different forms for each individual so they really seem to be catching on in 2014.
These automated tools provide a consistent flow of links, mostly insignificant on their own, but with the numbers and diversity they make up quite quickly for the lack of power.
Blog Networks of course are still the most potent of all backlinks.
Even though it seems Big G is cracking down on them and eliminating even the whole concept of guest posting for links still has many savvy individuals creating undetectable systems of links that are more potent than ever.
Though achieving one of these great networks on your own takes much skill and a niche size wallet to get things going so you're best bet is to do a bit of searching around yourself until you find just what you need.
