Here are some best practices for high domain authority PR backlinks (the ones that search engines desire).

Analyze your competition. Use one of many tools such as moz.com to see what type of content and links your competition is scoring. If you’re lucky, some of your competitors may be in the dark about attaining backlinks. Even if you’re the first in your marketplace to capitalize on the power of backlinks, it won’t be long before the competition will be using a similar strategy to gain ground on the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) front.
Analyze the content that’s ranking high for your keywords. This is a process best performed by professionals, but there are subscription tools to discover the best keywords both for your industry and content that’s trending for your product, service and/or market.
Get both creative and technical with your content. Scan your target publishers to see what type of information they like to cover and report on. At 10x this is a very important part of our content analysis and outreach process for backlinks.
Spend lots of time building relationships with editors and bloggers on high-ranking sites where you want your content and links published. Again, if you don’t have the time or experience in this realm, 10x has a long history and many relationships with creating content, pitching and scoring links with sought-after groups of publishers in various industries—from health, wellness and insurance to thought leadership, financial and resort verticals—just to name a few.

Continue this process to aim for a solid content and backlink strategy and execution. Of course these are the highlights, but achieving organic backlinks is a long-term strategy for SEO success and one that needs to be ongoing, not just tended to quarterly.
