A healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/backlink-profile-guide\/\">backlink profile<\/a> has a mix of two types of links \u2014&nbsp; do follow and no follow. If all your links are do follow, it could raise a red flag with search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, that no follow links usually come naturally, so you don\u2019t have to spend time and effort building them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SaaS Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>SaaS backlinks are links from companies that provide software as a service (SaaS).&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of project management tools like Asana or Trello. If one of these companies links to your website, you get a SaaS backlink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the different types of backlinks, SaaS backlinks from SaaS websites are particularly valuable. It\u2019s because these companies take their website SEO seriously. As their sites grow, your backlink grows with it, helping your site get more visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not convinced yet? Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/case-studies\/\">case studies<\/a>.

However, there\u2019s a catch we\u2019d like to point out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these sites are created primarily to sell backlinks. While they may seem valuable because of their impressive metrics, they often lack good and helpful content or long term SEO strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, these sites may experience a drop in rankings or disappear from search results completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while a backlink from a news or magazine site might look appealing, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that their value can decrease as they focus on quick fixes over sustainable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guest Post Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Guest post backlinks are links you get by writing and publishing articles on other websites.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/guest-posting\/\">guest posting<\/a>, you can improve your SEO and get more people to know about you.

For example, website owners may remove your link due to content updates. So, your backlinks depend on someone else\u2019s decisions, which can be unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with these risks, niche edits are still an effective way to grow your backlinks if done right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: For better results, focus on niche relevant backlinks to get the most value and improve your SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>Further reading:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/link-insertion\/\">Link Insertion Tips<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/link-insertion\/\">Link Insertion Vs.

Here\u2019s why:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hard-to-reach decision-makers:<\/strong> It\u2019s not easy to get in touch with the right people at these institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited opportunities<\/strong>: There are fewer educational and government websites compared to other types of domains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficult to make a relevant offer:<\/strong> Finding something valuable enough to offer these sites isn\u2019t easy\u2014they\u2019re quite picky about what they link to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenging to scale<\/strong>: Edu and gov backlinks are time-intensive to build, and scaling them can be nearly impossible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the challenges involved, we recommend treating edu and gov backlinks as a bonus strategy for more <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/advanced-link-building\/\">advanced link building<\/a>, rather than relying on them as a main tactic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private Blog Network (PBN) Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PBN backlinks are links from a Private Blog Network (PBN), which is a set of websites created solely to link out to other sites and improve their organic search visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Google can easily detect PBNs by looking for other signs, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The website has poor content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It doesn\u2019t have ads or product\/service pages, but somehow still receives backlinks from other sites.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share the same IP address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the same web hosting provider, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2021\/07\/link-tagging-and-link-spam-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google uses algorithms<\/a> that can spot these unnatural patterns, and if they detect PBN backlinks, it can result in penalties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/how-to-get-backlinks\/\">how to build backlinks<\/a>? While PBN backlinks may seem like a quick way to build backlinks, they come with a lot of risk.

To achieve this, it\u2019s essential to come up with engaging and relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/ru\/blog\/find-blog-post-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog post ideas<\/a> that resonate with their audience, creating a win-win situation for both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paid backlinks are backlinks you get by paying another website to link to yours.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they might seem like a quick win, paid links come with risks. If you use paid links to manipulate search rankings and Google detects them, it could lead to penalties that hurt your rankings and overall SEO performance, as they are part of <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/essentials\/spam-policies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link spam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"242\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot showing link spam warning from Google for SEO\" class=\"wp-image-11009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1-600x142.webp 600w, https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1-400x95.webp 400w, https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1-768x182.webp 768w, https:\/\/saynine.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/link_spam_google-1024x242-1-300x71.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that if you qualify these links with a rel=&rdquo;nofollow&rdquo; or rel=&rdquo;sponsored&rdquo; attribute value to the &lt;a&gt; tag, Google won&rsquo;t count them as a ranking signal, reducing the risk of penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, paid links make sense in certain situations. For example, SaaS or agency websites often build links through exchanges with other reputable businesses. But for industries like casinos, cannabis, or crypto, the story changes. In these niches, finding legitimate businesses willing to exchange links is difficult, if not impossible. Even if you can, it\u2019s not scalable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where paid backlinks can make sense. In the crypto niche, for instance, it\u2019s ideal to get links from real businesses, but when that\u2019s not possible, news or magazine websites that regularly cover crypto topics can be a practical alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more niche or regulated your industry, the more logical it becomes to invest in paid backlinks. Just make sure not to use them excessively to avoid penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comment Section and Forum Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Comment section and forum backlinks are links you get by posting comments or participating in discussions on forums.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they used to be a popular tactic for building backlinks, we think this approach has become outdated and ineffective for SEO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, comment section or forum backlinks can actually do more harm than good, and here\u2019s why:<br>Many comment sections and forums are filled with spammy posts that don\u2019t add real value to the conversation.
