  Tyron Love: Content marketing is how I would build links. Moz and Backlinko have some decent articles about content marketing. Remember it’s about the quality and relevancy of a link that counts and not quantity. Avoid buying links and those automated link building softwares because you might get in trouble with Google which is not worth it. Try gain links that send you’re site relevant traffic. From a technical side I would look into link repatriation (identifying 404 pages that have gained backlinks and 301 redirecting them to the new or relevant page).

  Sasch Mayer: The days of "Build `em Quick" affiliate sites are over. If you`re going to break into the affiliate sector, you`ll need to build a site that`s of actual value to its visitors.
  
  As +Tyron Love said, read up on how to attract links. Aside from Moz and Backlinko, I`d also advise you to study Google`s Webmaster Academy.

  Tonmoy Parves: +Tyron Love Thanks buddy. As an SEO, there are still a part of Ranking sector. YES, I believe Content is king right now which was queen lol (Same thing)
  
  But people still is SEO industry are building links with new ways. As you mentioned Backlinko and Moz, The SEO guru`s including Neil Patel, Brain and others they are also building and buying links. Neil Patel built a niche site and sold it. I am sure that you knew about his 100K4/monthly changed.
  
  Neil Patel also buy links for his site. But he don`t buy links after getting some authority.
  
  Like: Neil Patel publish a content on his blog right now and gets a decent amount of quality links. But on the other hand, if you have the same quality content on your site, you won`t get the number of links. Caz, no body known you. So, you have to promote your content somehow.
  
  So, can you please share some of your Content marketing methods those you actually do and gets good result.

  Joanna Laznicka: Tonomy I have several sites that make money via ad revenue and amazon affiliate. The big key is to make a quality site that people do want to link too. Basically make a resource site so good that reputable universities and government organizations want to link to it and send people there for help. When a site is that good everything else falls into place when it comes to link building.

  Tyron Love: +Tonmoy Parves I`m a technical SEO, so link building to me is only number 7 on my priority list (I`m currently concentrating on sentiment and co-occurrence, authority, context vectors etc.). Personally I don`t like some of Neil Patel`s SEO techniques as they go against Google guidelines (I`m a career SEO, not an entrepreneur). As far as some content marketing methods: I like to curate content hubs, which is a bit easier than creating authoritative articles, videos etc. You basically research the best possible resources for a topic, then curate that research into a list, write a really good introduction and mark it up with the correct structured data. I find that these "topic hubs" rank well. Another content marketing gem is to use the holy grail of content: data! Do some really useful research into an interesting topic in your niche and present it as data visualization. News sites love this type of content because it`s factual. I`ve had some great success with this method, ensure your fact are checked though.
