    I’ve had better results focusing on natural-looking free backlinks from niche blogs and directories rather than paying for links that can be flagged. For my hotel seo work, I stick to writing guest posts, answering forum questions, and listing on tourism websites. Those tend to stick longer and feel more organic. Paid links felt risky and didn’t always give long-term value.
