    Here are some strategies that can help you build better backlinks in 2017

    • Interview people from the same business community as your and shoot a shoutout on Twitter. This typically spreads your content as the people whom you interviewed would likely to share that piece of content and also mention it on his or her blog.
    • Create amazing top 10 product list or recommendations. Review products independently and provide recommendation or a top 5 or top 10 list. Chances are high that product based companies will use your article link as a reference for their PR campaigns and thus you can get backlinks from highly trusted sites.
    • Use commentLuv blogs, social bookmarking sites, blogger, wikipedia and other sites. A lot of Wikipedia articles have dead or broken links which you can modify with live links. There are also number of such wiki sites which you can use for backlinks.
