Backlinks for Small Business — Free Ways to Build Quality Links

Backlinks are still a top 3 Google ranking factor. 5 free strategies for small businesses:

1. Free directories (Product Hunt, SaaSHub, BetaList)
2. HARO reporter requests
3. Create free tools that attract links naturally
4. Guest posts on industry blogs
5. Local directory listings

Quality beats quantity. One link from a real site is worth 100 spam links.
