  • Jordon Allain: Michael Martinez then how do you rank with quality links?
  • Michael Martinez: Jordon Allain You don`t rank with any kind of links.You rank because the algorithms decide your content (perhaps supported by links) is worth ranking.People who bulldoze their way to successful rankings through links build or buy as many as they can, knowing nothing about which links help - or which links may hurt them (or be ignored).It`s a blind shotgun strategy. It`s always been a blind shotgun strategy. The risks have been reduced since September 2016 but it`s still not a surefire strategy.Directory listings can be very helpful. You should get them because they create visibility and send visitors to your site. If the algorithms decide those links are trustworthy, great. If not, at least they help you with visibility and traffic.
