Everyone says "build backlinks."
I think that's bad advice.
The real question is:
Would you still want that backlink if Google didn't exist?
If the answer is no, it's probably not worth building.
The best backlinks usually come from websites that:
• Are trusted in your niche
• Have real readers, not just SEO metrics
• Can actually send referral traffic
• Strengthen your brand—not just your rankings
I've seen businesses chase hundreds of links and see little impact.
I've also seen a handful of relevant editorial mentions outperform hundreds of low-quality backlinks.
Quality scales. Spam doesn't.
What's your opinion?
Would you rather have:
A) 100 average backlinks
or
B) 10 highly relevant editorial backlinks?
I'd love to hear your perspective.
