of backlinks was the king for Google but today it is quite opposite, i.e the website which has thousands of backlinks including low quality links is most likely to be penalized by Google animals (Penguin,Panda and Hummingbird).
We bloggers have to emphasize on off-page optimization and on page optimization both. On-page optimization helps to index web pages in search engines faster and increase reader engagement by internal linking of pages, It is also one of the major factor in google page rank, and also provides more organic exposure to the blog, while off page optimization includes quality link building, social media shares, social bookmarking shares, shares on article directories like ezine articles. In fact off page optimization is more sensitive part of SEO, if not done smartly then it may ruin your online business permanently.Without any prior experience, black hat strategies must be avoided completely on your most beloved blog. Blog commenting is still the best strategy to build up the quality backlinks and traffic to a blog. Backlinks from .edu and .gov websites are like super powers to a blog. You may try services like putmylink or dropmylink to find high PR commentluv, gov, .edu websites of the same niche and comment on atleast 10 blogs daily, it would not only build up the relationships with your fellow bloggers but also create the more number of quality backlinks to your blog.
