While everyone obsesses about backlinks, citations and stuff their "sell my house fast" keywords in their content...

They look at all kinds of things like original content, backlinks, meta tags etc etc. take a look at oncarrot if you want it done right

Provide name, title, company name and website URL (for backlinking purposes - free marketing bump for you).

When the average person reads "Google wants back links" they get back links.

Just Do EVERYTHING you can and then more from the start.If you do what everyone is doing  (backlinks, citations, keyword yada yada yada... it will be a LOT harder to rank, because .. yup, everyone is doing that.I ranked in about 4 months because I came up with my own unique strategies.Ohh poop, you know what.. let me just do this:From Google Analytics:The picture above shows my online history.

You can get backlinks to your video, likes for your video, reposts of your video.

SEO rank is driven by a fast-moving mobile compatible site, backlinks, social signals, updating your site with fresh content, and host of other factors.  

It is how you leverage that platform, how you apply your SEO, and how credible you are.Ultimately it is not backlinks, not citations not anything other than CTR, Bounce rate and time on page.

Don't get it, and you don't have to worry about anything.Much like paying for backlinks and reap some benefits (if you do it "right"), or don't get it and you may never rank.Why just complain about BBB and not about Google or any other "unfair" case this beautiful world has to offer...

The next best is to build up your back links.
