Is this the correct way to get backlinks to your site?

When I checked on Open Site Explorer, all the high authority websites in my niche had backlinks from other NICHE RELATED websites.

None of these high authority websites had articles posted on Ezine Articles or other article directories, pinging, press releases, or such.

Because none of those are niche related. Google doesn't like that, does it? You won't get very high in the search engines if you rely on this method.

Most of the backlinks from these niche related authority sites didn't have forms to post your own articles, press releases, videos, and podcasts. Instead from what I saw, you almost always have to contact the webmaster to have them post an article or video to their site with your link in it.

This is correct isn't it? In the majority of cases, you have to contact the webmaster in order for them to put a link on their website.

Because most of the time, people won't be able to post a blog or article without the website owners permission. There are only a few niche related blog sites where you can sign up and post a blog freely on their website without having to contact them.

Almost all websites, blogging sites are dofollow. Except social media websites.

Most social networks are nofollow.




Questions:

How long does it take to get ranked in Google if you have 5 backlinks and with an authority of 78 and higher, but your competitors have 8000 high authority backlinks and 100 low authority backlinks ? Do you have to have as many as 8000 high authority backlinks to be competing with them?

If you naturally get backlinked by people who are low authority (they just link to your website without you asking), does Google rank you lower in the search engines?

You can assume you need to match their volume and quality of content and backlinks, age is another ranking factor you can't buy.

Some experts say that relevance is not as important as Google suggests, though they have patents on techniques like latent Symantec indexing to identify the subject of a post, it's too computationally intensive to be used much.

In some cases large companies owning numerous sites cna generate backlinks from with their own properties that no one else can get, cross linking between authority sites seems more acceptable than manipulative private blog networks.

where you will be post your links at not working website or working website. if working website also. check the ip, this ip is shared or dedicated. If shared, how many websites are live on the ip. and their avg. PR.

In working website, check the things like daily posting, daily indexing, page authority, domain authority, ip shared or dedicated, alexa ranking, how many back links.

hope you understand
