I think link building will remain important, but the focus should be on relevance and trust rather than just the number of backlinks. A genuine mention from a respected website in your niche can help build brand authority and bring relevant traffic. Guest posting can still work when it provides real value to readers, while low-quality links created only for SEO are becoming less useful. AI may change how search engines discover and evaluate sources, but credibility and useful content will always matter.
