Still studying this, but a few things I'm finding out.

• Don't spam comment sections. Google penalizes that behavior, and many comment sections (such as WordPress automatically assign the links as NoFollow. Depending on where you are commenting, if the option is available NoFollow is the way to go, even though it provides no backlink juice in search engines.

• Be careful of sites such as the one you use, Ubersuggest. Many of these sites want access (Ubersuggest) to your login credentials with Google. In Neils case, I know he is considered a guru, but the fact he has a recurring annual fee of 1500.00 for his course on how to be a blog success makes me feel he is a bit of a snake.

• Never pay to guest post. Many do, and don't realize they are paying to get posted on a PBN, which Google hates. Google will penalize your site if you use one.

• Never pay for backlink builders. They are typically spinning stolen content and spamming them everywhere, which will also get you penalized.

• If you can make videos, do use sites like Youtube where you can redirect people to your blog. Youtube is a powerful social backlink, as well as possible traffic funnel. If your post isn't considered controversial, once you have enough views and followers you can actually monetize the videos as well.
