Struggling to get backlinks that actually move rankings
My rankings aren’t improving even after I’ve tried basic outreach and a couple of listings. I’m worried the links I’m getting are low quality or irrelevant, but I can’t tell what “good” looks like anymore. For a US-focused site, what backlink sources and strategies are worth the effort without risking a penalty?

What finally helped me was treating links like referrals, not collectibles: pick a tight topic cluster, earn mentions from adjacent sites, and track which pages drive real clicks. I also skim community discussions for patterns; forum backlink https://backlink.forum/ can surface ideas fast.
