Backlinks for Domain Authority & Backlinks for Keywords: 

SEO starts with the creation of your website. First of all, we design the website and then start adding content. Once we have content like 20 to 30 pages in the first 2 to 3 months. We start the link building process. However, the link building process is a critical and important part of off-page SEO. It can help in improving the domain authority of your website and can also help in ranking keywords in Google. But if it's done incorrectly then it can backfire as well.

After 30 to 60 days, we will start creating backlinks for establishing domain authority. We will use simple and basic methods to create backlinks such as profile backlinks with high authority sites (high DA), we will regularly give social signals to our content (sharing on social media). After that, we will create more web 2.0 backlinks with high authority sites and this will be a mixture of dofollow and nofollow backlinks.

Using these simple methods, we can increase our domain authority from 0 to 30 or 50 easily. We will need 200 high authority referring domains to reach somewhere 30 or 50 DA. When that's in our hands, we can give backlinks from our domain's home page to the most important pages on our website. This way, we will pass some juice from our home page to the single post in order to improve its ranking in Google.

Normally, when we publish new content for low difficulty keywords, it will be ranked in Google without any special link building effort. If our keywords got stuck somewhere on page 3 or 4 in Google's result then we will give those pages backlinks from our site's home page (as you know home page already has good domain authority now), this way the keywords can be pushed to page #1 on Google. If this also did not bring the desired results then we will need to do some link building for the keywords (single articles), and that's not very difficult because we will just need a few backlinks.

Last but not least, we can also get link building ideas from our competitor's website by adding them to ahrefs (site explorer) tool and we can study their backlink profile. We will easily get ideas from where the competitors got backlinks. So we can also try to get backlinks from there if it's easily possible.
