Hi everyone! I'm a total noob when it comes to backlinks and link building — I honestly understand very little about SEO right now. That's why I'm asking the community for advice. My main question is: **how do you get quality, good backlinks** for a website? Preferably without spending too much money, or at least explain how this usually works in real life (without any black-hat stuff). I’d also like to understand a few specific things: * There are **dofollow** and **nofollow** backlinks. From the perspective of people who actually do this, what’s the real difference? How much more important are dofollow links, or do nofollow links still bring value? * Does the geographic location matter? For example, if I want strong promotion in the **United States**, should the backlinks mainly come from American websites related to my niche? Or is it not that critical and good links from other countries work fine too? Thank you so much in advance to anyone who replies! I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experience, or even good resources for beginners. I don’t want to make mistakes right from the start. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am creating high-quality backlinks by using guestbook websites, but my DA and DR remain the same instead of increasing. What can I do to actually improve my DA and DR?
