“You should stay away from backlinks. Google penalises that.”
Backlinking still carries old assumptions about risks and penalties. With this reputation, it’s not surprising that companies end up avoiding link building altogether.
In reality, strategic, well-executed backlinking remains one of Google’s strongest trust signals, and if you want consistent visibility, backlinks matter.
The perspective that matters now
Outdated information is still shaping how people think about backlinking. Much of the thinking hasn’t kept pace with how it works today.
The question is no longer whether you should use backlinks, but how to approach them in a way that is safe, effective, and aligned with how Google currently evaluates trust. If you’re not ready to make the shift, competitors can quickly pull ahead.
