        HI Muhammad,

        What you're asking is really impossible to know.
        My input here is that Google isn't just about great quality content and some backlinks. It is about many other factors, check what Moz have said: Ranking factors.

        My opinion about linkbuilding is that it will never die. Although it will be mutating constantly, always towards better and more natural links. Since 2012 spammy links are deprecated and penalized by google.
        The best advise is always to focus on content, so as backlinks come natural.

        Hope i've answered you.

        Best luck.
        GR.

          Muhammad, while we cannot predict the future of link building, we can actually concentrate on what works. Link earning, earning your links by posting and creating good content on your website, is what works now and what will work in the future. If you post good content that others want to share, then others will share it and do the link building for you. That's link earning.

            I believe that links used to have a much higher value than they have today.

            Today, Google has a lot of information from Chrome browsers, SERP analytics, personalization, visitor engagement, content quality, content relevance to the query, and much more.  These can be used to craft a customized search for the visitor.  These ingredients in the ranking mix are growing in importance.... and they displace some of the value of links in producing rankings.

            I posted about this on Moz eleven years ago and have not "built" any links for over a decade.

              Hi Muhammad,

              I agree with EGOL that links used to have a much higher value than they have today. But still, they are one of the key things one needs to take care of while doing the SEO.

              Though I am not a link building expert, I found a useful detailed piece over internet that you may find interesting. It talks about the link building tips and strategies. Check it out here

              I hope it helps:)

              Please do share your learning on link building if you find some good tips (Obviously other than this post 😄 ).

              Thanks,
