Foreign-language sites for links — worth it?

[Kelley Hyatt]

For a multilingual project I wasn’t sure whether links from other-language sites helped. Turns out relevance and authority matter more than language, within reason. The rundown on when foreign links help or hurt is on https://topozicev.com if you’re running international SEO.

A backlink profile had become one of the less organized parts of my website, so I decided to stop adding links randomly and look for a more systematic approach. I had already placed a few links myself, but I was unsure whether the sources were relevant enough or whether the overall profile looked balanced. Before contacting the team, I looked through their link-building service and found that the process starts with getting familiar with the project, followed by an audit of the backlink profile and competitors, strategy development, link placement, and regular monitoring. I used https://pxroproject.net/link-build/ while going through the details and then explained what I had already done with my site. One of the things I wanted to avoid was filling the profile with unrelated links just to increase the number, so I asked about the relevance of the potential placements. We discussed submissions, crowd marketing and multi-level links, and I could understand how different types of placements could be combined instead of relying on one method. The team also explained how they would look at competitors before preparing the strategy. After that, I agreed to start with a defined group of placements and waited for the first updates. I could see which work had been completed and discuss questions when something needed clarification. The process was much easier for me once I stopped treating link building as a simple numbers game and started looking at the profile as a whole.
