On Tuesday, 24th May, we had yet another exciting twitter chat! This time, our\u00a0topic centered around Link Building tactics in 2016.<\/p>\n

\"RankWatch-Twitter-Chat\"<\/p>\n

If keywords are the heart, link building is the soul of SEO!<\/p>\n

There is no question that search engines rely heavily on external links to evaluate the relevance and authority of your website. After all, links are among the top three ranking factors as Google announced earlier this year.<\/p>\n

But, all links are not equal. And, building great links requires dedication and time!<\/p>\n

There are still some who are tempted by the easy road. They try to acquire links quickly through unnatural means. This path is dangerous as it\u00a0leads to the dark side of SEO.<\/p>\n

Eventually, if you use the wrong link building approach, your website could drop out of the SERPs completely.<\/p>\n

So, what are the right strategies? What link building tactics could get you in trouble? What tools can help you automate the process of organic link building? How should you reach out to people?<\/p>\n

Our chat covered all these pressing questions and more!<\/p>\n

We were glad to have Venchito Tampon as our guest speaker. While he started his career in content writing at an early age of 17, he is now the proud co-founder of Sharp Rocket<\/a>. Sharp Rocket is a link building and content marketing agency which is dedicated to delivering high-quality service to local as well as international clients.<\/p>\n

Needles to say, a lot of valuable insights were contributed by our community.
