Many SEOs agree that building quality links requires manual effort, but how can you scale that which cannot be automated? Columnist Andrew Dennis shares his thoughts.
Last month on Search Engine Land, I talked about how manual link building isn’t going away in 2016, despite some predictions otherwise.

- Tapping into new audiences.
- Creating more inroads to your site.

Link building is going to be a waste of time if you haven’t properly invested in your site by creating linkable assets that are relevant and valuable to your audience. Link building is part of a larger marketing cycle, and it comes last in the process.
