This is the most complete list of link building tactics on the Web, period. I created it because the best tactics are never found in one place, and the most complete lists are completely outdated.
One thing to keep in mind while reading: I did my best to split each one up by category (i.e. Local, Paid, Events etc.), but a lot of them overlap. For example, sponsoring an event could easily fall into paid & events, but I had to pick one. So keep that in mind if you’re looking for i.e. only event tactics.

Now a days SEO is all about Content Marketing, Google is looking for more and more fresh and quality of content to be provided to the visitors. So promoting your website with the help of quality of content will help you to increase your website traffic and ranking.

I've seen a lot of blog awards going around lately. Is that just another way of backlinking? Does it helps your DA or cancels out the link juice since you're mentioning each other?

Content is the king thus promoting your website with the help of content will help you to increase the traffic and ranking. But only content is not the thing, sharing quality content is also important.

Their is not use of sharing the content, which your prospective reader will not read. In the same way sharing the content which is not ranking in Google also will not help you to increase the traffic.

So along with the quality content you need to rank your content and make it visible to your target audience by sharing in the social media platform.
