Best Practices for Backlinking and AEO

  1. Prioritize relevance over volume by getting links from sites aligned with your niche.
  2. Earn contextual links placed within high quality content, not footer or sidebar dumps.
  3. Use clear, descriptive anchor text that matches the page’s core intent.
  4. Create content built for AI extraction with clean structure, definitions, and tables.
  5. Add unique insights or data so both AI systems and publishers want to reference you.
