Trying to figure out backlinks

Hi everyone,

I have a website that I just created a little over a month ago and I've been working on my SEO. I've ran an audit scan and I'm scoring 88% overall, but one very important factor I seem to be missing is backlinks. My audit says I only have a few backlinks and 1 referring domain. I am by far not an SEO expert, I'm just an accountant trying to figure out SEO on my own and 3 weeks ago I never even heard of a backlink. I managed to bring my backlinks score up a whole 5 percentage points after doing several things in an attempt to get backlinks, but I'm still scoring poorly in that area at 30% and I'm honestly not sure what I did to get those added percentage points. No amount of research has helped me figure out the backlinks. I have my website linked to several places...Facebook, LinkedIn, reddit, my business YouTube page, yelp, Google business profile, Bing places, webwiki, thumbtack, crunchbase...I am also waiting for BBB to approve my listing request and one other, I believe it was yellow pages. I believe I read somewhere that yelp doesn't have dofollow links but I don't know about the others. Am I missing something? Am I doing this wrong? Is this even the right thread to ask this question?

Thanks in advance for any advice. And please, no attempts to sell me services for this. Just looking for a little advice from others who had success figuring it out.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
