Research on building links to a website

[Mikey008]

Hi building a brand new site with no domain authority.

I have created all the content and now want to start building links to the website. Mostly through guest posting, niche directories, broken link building and other whitehat methods.

Anyway i was wondering if anyone has seen any good research on the way you should link to a brand new website or any site for that matter.

Like in terms of % you should focus at the homepage, inner pages, anchor distribution, internal link structure, etc.

A good start would be looking at successful competitors, but i wanted to see if anyone knows any studies on this.

My goal is to build a link profile which meets the standards of Google and that lasts!

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the Moz community and congratulations on your new website. It's great to see you here and doing your due diligence on link building beforehand, it will surely pay off in the long-term.

Moz has created a very handy and informative link building guide, especially for those in your position. Have you read through it already? If not, I highly suggest starting there.
