: How powerful is Guest blogging for SEO? With respect to all the senior members, I am a newbie & I make 50 backlinks for my site every day, (using forum, social bookmarking and Blog commenting)

@Hamaas447

The process you're describing was out of date 10 years ago, and your cousins isn't much better. I doubt Google is counting your links at all (they are all probably nofollow). Guest blogging for links is also a well-known spam technique, and any blog that allows it runs the risk of being penalised.

This is not how to do SEO. Look at the technical aspects of SEO and ensure your site is able to be easily crawled and understood by Google. Research your subject category and identify popular trends and keywords. Make useful relevant content that answers questions.

The approach you had was spammy 10 years ago, and is of no use.

Yes, natural backlink approach will return in sustainable ranking for long period of time.

A big NO to cheap and poor linking approach like blog commenting, spam links from forum etc. 50 a day is way too high. This approach will lead to a penalty from Google.

The best option is, you should work on building rich content and better user experience and strategy towards natural backlink.
