Hey WickedFire Community,

I hope you're all doing well!
I’ve been working in the SEO industry for a while, and recently, I’ve been focusing heavily on off-page SEO strategies, especially link building through blog commenting, forum participation, and directory submissions.

I wanted to start a discussion and get your expert insights:

Which off-page SEO techniques are still working effectively in 2025?
Do you think traditional methods like forum backlinks and blog comments still hold value?
How are you ensuring backlink quality over quantity these days?

At my team at Sanmo, we have been experimenting with a mix of forum backlinks, business directories, and article submissions to help boost our clients' online visibility. We always prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on niche relevance and genuine engagement.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and any fresh ideas you might have.
Let's share and learn from each other!

Thanks in advance!

In 2025, strong off-page SEO comes from earning trust. Create content people want to share, like original research or useful tools. Build real connections in your niche. Guest posts work when they're meaningful. Being featured in media or podcasts helps. Even unlinked brand mentions now support your search visibility.

Definitely! Creating valuable content, like research or useful tools, is key for earning trust. Guest posts work when they provide real value, and being featured in media or podcasts boosts credibility. Even unlinked mentions of your brand help with SEO.

Hey there! Great discussion and some excellent questions. I’ve found that in 2025, quality is still the key. Traditional methods like forum backlinks and blog comments can still work, but it really depends on the context and how well they’re done. Focusing on niche-specific sites and genuine engagement is definitely the way to go—too many low-quality backlinks can do more harm than good. We’ve also been incorporating more guest posts and outreach with industry influencers to build high-quality, relevant links. The focus on natural, organic link-building strategies seems to be the most effective approach these days. Curious to hear what others are doing too!
