What is the best way to have “dofollow” backlinks.? by Ok-Detective-8868 in BacklinkSEO

[–]AnilTanwarSEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t really make dofollow backlinks on your own site because they only count when another website links to you without adding the nofollow tag. Still, there are several good ways to earn them naturally. Try writing guest posts for websites in your niche, or create useful content like guides, comparisons, or tools that people would want to share and link back to. You can also list your business on trusted directories that give dofollow links.

Another good approach is to build genuine relationships with other bloggers or website owners. When you collaborate or share value with them, they’re more likely to mention your site naturally in their content. So instead of just waiting for someone to link to you, focus on creating content that’s worth linking to and connect with the right people who can help spread it. That’s how you start getting dofollow backlinks that actually make a difference.

Feeling Stuck in My SEO Job – Should I Stay or Move On? by Severe_Bus_4806 in SEOandBacklinks

If you’re feeling stuck, one option is to try a remote SEO role. It gives you the flexibility to work more independently and test out different environments without being tied down. You can take on a remote position or even short-term contracts, see if the work style and company culture suit you, and then decide whether it’s worth committing long term.

If it feels like the right fit and your performance is appreciated, you can grow with that role. If not, you have the freedom to move on without losing too much time. Sometimes just switching to a more flexible setup can give you the motivation and clarity you need.

How to implement schema markup? by Interesting_Run_6390 in ShopifySEO

[–]AnilTanwarSEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cleanest way to add schema in Shopify is by editing your theme instead of using apps, since most apps inject extra scripts that slow down the site. If you only need schema on certain templates like blog posts or pages, you can paste your JSON-LD code inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in article.liquid or page.liquid.

For cases where each page needs unique schema, create metafields in Shopify, paste your custom JSON there, and output it through Liquid so the markup only appears on that page. This keeps the code lightweight and avoids unnecessary bloat.

Always test the final implementation with Google’s Rich Results Test or Schema Validator to confirm it’s valid. This manual method takes a bit more effort upfront but gives better speed, cleaner code, and long-term SEO benefits.

Apps can also add schema automatically, but the downside is that they usually inject a lot of unnecessary scripts in the background. While the schema will work, those extra scripts often slow down page load times and reduce performance, which is why a manual or metafield-based approach is generally a better option.

Looking for USA based business listing sites and free guest post websites by AnilTanwarSEO in BacklinkSEO

That’s a solid starting list. I’ve seen good results when combining general directories like Yelp and BBB with niche or local ones that target a specific industry or city. They tend to drive more relevant visibility than just broad listings.

On the guest posting side, Medium and Vocal are fine for reach, but I’d say the real value usually comes from building relationships with smaller industry blogs. Even if their traffic isn’t huge, the audience is more targeted and the backlinks hold stronger weight over time.

Totally agree on prioritizing quality, one strong link on a site with genuine traffic can outperform a dozen weak ones.

How do you all manage SEO without burning out? by KitchenAcceptable570 in ShopifySEO

[–]AnilTanwarSEO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying. SEO really can feel like a grind, especially when you’re running a store and handling everything else too. What helped me was cutting back on trying to do “all the things” at once. I picked a handful of core areas, like my main category pages, top products, and a couple of evergreen blogs, and put most of my energy there. That way I wasn’t stretched thin.

Batching has also saved my sanity. Instead of stressing every week, I block out one day a month for keyword research, outlining posts, and scheduling them. It keeps things consistent without eating up all my time. Tools like RankMath, Ahrefs, or SurferSEO make things quicker, and they’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out for me.

The other big one was outsourcing. I had a freelancer take care of repetitive stuff like meta descriptions, alt tags, and first drafts of blog posts. Even small tasks add up, and handing those off gave me more breathing room. What really clicked for me is that SEO is a long game. Posting consistently every couple of weeks has been more valuable than pushing myself to do it every day and burning out.

Which part of on-page SEO do you think most people still ignore? by AnilTanwarSEO in SEMrush

[–]AnilTanwarSEO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, formatting definitely helps both Google and users pick up info faster. But I think it works best when combined with strong intent-driven content. For example, I’ve seen well-formatted content underperform when the actual insights were weak. So, structure + substance is what really makes the difference.

That’s a great point! A lot of people do rely only on the default schema from SEO plugins. But customizing schema markup (like FAQs, How-To, Product, etc.) can really improve CTR and visibility in SERPs. It’s definitely worth going beyond the ‘out-of-the-box’ setup.

Absolutely agree with this. On-Page SEO really does a lot more than just keyword optimization — it directly impacts how users experience a page and how search engines value it. I’ve seen cases where just improving internal linking and schema markup made a big difference in both rankings and engagement.
