SEO tactics & processes to improve rankings are diverting to impress users online; promoting website link on various low quality websites are leading to spamming and are resulting in getting out of search engines. SEO has died, but with only obsolete techniques of getting positioning on search engines. Most of businesses have lost their rankings on Google due to having back links on:

  • Low Quality free web directories
  • Poor Bookmarking sites

Quality guidelines for off page activities will surely help in avoiding any upcoming updates from Google. Following things must be kept in mind before submitting your valuable link:

  • Relevance of linking page

Now, content marketing plan is not only submitting your links randomly on third sites but proper planning is required to impress your readers & then moving them to your website.
