Link building isn't easy, and it's not supposed to be.

Want to build better links in 2022?

Here are my favorite link building related content this year:

1. @ItamarBlauer coined the "teammate technique" and shares how he built links to his personal site. Love how in-depth this post gets (and it includes videos!)

2. @maevaeverywhere shares the "triangle backlink strategy", which is based on building strategic relationships to get backlinks

3. @JudithLewis and @MordyOberstein talk about common mistakes when measuring your link building efforts, and SO much more, on The SEO Rant podcast

4. In another podcast, @BibiBuzzCom shares her link building philosophy and tons of great tips with @sejournal

5. A great thread on link building outreach by @timsoulo talks about how great content might not always drive links, and how brand recognition can tip the scales in your favor

6. @amandanat shares some of the BEST tips on cold outreach. Getting people to reply positively isn't magic — it's mostly a lot of prep work (and some luck🍀).

One thing I'd add: don't be a creep ("I saw you ate at X on your IG and I love eating there.")
