I need your help about backlinks

[gyesilkaya]

Hello everyone,

If your website is in English and if you have backlinks in different language website, does it still affect the SEO in a good way or the websites that you have backlinks has to be in English for getting better position on SEO?

I look forward to your answers.

From my understanding, it doesn't really matter so long as the links from foreign language sites makes sense.

For example if you're a travel company specialising in trips to Japan, it would make perfect sense for you to have a number of links from Japanese sites (still keeping them relevant to what you do).

On the other hand, if you're a local plumber servicing a 50mi radius around Las Vegas, a large volume of links from Japanese sites seems a little fishy. Maybe a small number from supplier sites or something but that's about it.

The overarching rules of (white hat) link building don't really change with the language; build links from strong and relevant websites and search engines should understand that relevance just fine.

Hi!

I agree with Chris. As long as Google is able to tell that the links should be pointing to your website, and aren't some sort of spammy link scheme, then having links from websites in other languages is fine!

Just make sure that the websites you are getting these links from are relevant and have a high domain authority so they will pass on the link juice to your website.
