Why does the process of Create Linkable Content so hard?

• Involves Another Person: You can handle any aspect of your organization’s search engine optimization process. But to get links, you have to tap into others’ motives also.
• Webmasters Are Savvier: Webmasters are asked to get links by link builders especially without providing any value to them. If you don’t provide valuable content to their audience, it’s hard to earn links.

Relevancy First

What do SEO professionals chase to measure a website? They chase authority metrics like domain rating (DR) or domain authority (DA) since Google made PageRank (PR) visible. They are important but they are not the main things to consider in website quality. The relevancy is the most important thing. Google’s John Mueller once said they didn’t care about the number of links to give website rankings. They use the relevancy of the links to give them ranks. What does relevancy in the link mean?

• What to create: you can know what kind of content is needed by using relevancy first. And also you will know what’s relevant to your audience.
• Sites to target: You can get an idea of what’s relevant from your targeted audience’s perspective using the content that you created.
• The value you can provide: You can get an idea of what kind of value you can provide. Because it is relevant to the steps that you are going through.
