Real Link Building Tactics That Work in 2026 (James Dooley Interviews Charles Floate)

What link building strategies actually work in 2026 and how do you build authority for both Google and AI search? This video breaks down modern link building and explains why consensus based link building has replaced traditional tactics focused on DR and do follow links. James Dooley and Charles Flo explain why Google now relies on topical clusters and trusted domains to validate expertise because off page signals drive authority and trust. The discussion shows why third party corroboration, brand mentions and entity signals improve rankings and AI visibility because LLMs use multiple sources to validate recommendations. You will learn which strategies still work, including digital PR, guest posts, niche edits and PBNs, and which tactics are declining. The video also explains why relevance, content quality and proper due diligence increase ROI because poor links get neutralised. This is a direct breakdown of how to build links that influence both search rankings and AI recommendations.Where to Listen to This EpisodeReal Link Building Tactics That Work is available across all major podcast platforms.
