When it comes to backlinks, many people’s first reaction is to “chase high authority links,”
often asking, “What’s the DA (Domain Authority) value of the links you build?” However, t
he value of a backlink can never be fully measured by just one number.
We’ve seen numerous cases where high-DA backlinks looked impressive but had limited impact on a website’s actual rankings and traffic.
In contrast, some backlinks with moderate DA values delivered better results because they were naturally sourced and contextually relevant to the content.
The real key to effective backlink building is to focus on results rather than fixating on numbers.
For example, when creating GPB backlinks, we ensure each one is indexed by Google and remains live for the long term.
Even if these links don’t have sky-high DA values, they contribute to the site’s overall authority in a meaningful way. Meanwhile,
GNB and GMB backlinks serve to diversify the backlink profile, making it appear more natural and credible.
Instead of obsessing over backlink “authority,” focus on the balance and rationality of your backlink strategy.
SEO is a systematic effort, and only when your overall data improves can you truly say the results are effective.
