I predict that today’s episode is going to be a favorite. Get ready to take notes—this episode will give you tons of useful strategies for optimizing your website’s SEO.

I’m thrilled to have Brian Dean from Backlinko here to share his expertise on backlinking. You may remember Brian’s epic post on backlinking that appeared on the Smart Passive Income blog in 2014.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What backlinking and interlinking are.
How to get your website to rank higher in Google.
Which search engine optimization (SEO) strategies are (and are no longer) working.
The types of content that will help you rank higher in Google.
Specific strategies to implement today.
