Hi Everyone,

I want to create a backlink strategy, but I am struggling with it like how to create strategies for my website and how to analyze which amount of daily backlinks is good to create for my website in education niche. Even which kind of backlinks is good for my website (blog, article, ppt and pdf, social bookmarking or something else).

It would be great, if someone can help me with this.

Thank you in advance.

blog
Sure, if you're asking and they say "great web page" and link to it.

article
See above

ppt and pdf
Hell no and no.

social bookmarking
Oh hell no.

or something else
This. Just make things that people will want to link to then do a link beg campaign.

Good luck!

From what I have noticed there is no such thing as backlink strategy. You just need to have big sites on which you can build backlinks and get them indexed they are good enough.
But the main concern is that you only need backlinks or you also need relevant traffic with those backlinks.

So how can I find these websites to get relevant traffic with that kind of backlinks?

A strategy helps bring focus and a plan.

To state the obvious, the easiest and simplest way is to research relevant sites in the SERPs. The second obvious way is to promote the information through publications, etc.
There is no silver bullet.

Focus on outreach and try to gain backlinks from the niche guest posting websites. Start blogging on third-party blog sites like Medium, LinkedIn, Blogger and WordPress.

Focus on building backlinks which have organic traffic from google, have at least some authority (good DA/DR) with less linking domains. Try to outreach website owners, & asked them to give backlink to your site. It will increase your website overall authority in terms of backlinks! Good luck!

From my experience a good way to get backlinks is to start a PR campaign (press releases) and include media that has an online arm. If you focus on getting your press releases listed you will often also get a link from the online part of the publication.

To belabor the obvious: Have really compelling and UNIQUE content that other sites (which are niche related) JUMPING TO LINK to you. One can beg all day long, but if there's nothing there of interest, those begs will echo in silence. CONTENT is what everyone wants. Linking to content is not that common (easier to steal it and refurbish instead of linking). Falls into the "beware what you ask for, you just might get it!" paradigm.

Honest, natural backlinks come from OTHERS who have found your site, enjoyed the content, AND are honest. They are also confident enough to provide a link that will TAKE THEIR VISITOR off their site to YOUR content. NOTE: you will not find very many of those kind of sites.

On the other hand, .edu and much of MSM will link to you since they are already behemoths with little worry of providing an ATTRIBUTE to commentary they repurpose (or add to) their content (see above). This is one reason Wikipedia links aren't all that stellar---their visitors are too lazy to "click through" that backlink to find your site/content.

Personally never asked for a backlink. My content is unique (copyrighted and vigilantly protected) and a host of natural links have occurred OVER THE YEARS---and I am talking DECADES---not hours or days or weeks.

The best IMHO backlink strategy is to DO NOTHING: Let the web find you, honor you with the link because it makes THEM look good, and continue to invest your time and energy in providing IMPACTFUL and UNIQUE content so sterling that "they" (the linkers) are IMPELLED BY DESIRE to link to you.

Hard enough to do that, but is much easier and satisfactory than begging, scamming, or phishing for backlinks.

YMMV
