Your #1 link building objective should be to get backlinks on websites that are relevant to yours. Since Google doesn’t update PageRank anymore, you have to rely on third-party metrics. And third-party metrics such as Domain Rating (Ahrefs), Trust Flow (Majestic), and Domain Authority (Moz) can all be manipulated. Your goal should be to get backlinks on the website with real traffic. Then focus on getting backlinks on sites that have editorial standards. You want your link to “live” around other quality outbound links.
