2. Always get back-links(link on other website redirecting to our website) from relevant websites. As it will give more value to your website. Getting back-links from irrelevant website will give a less values hence no chances of getting on search results first page.

If the domain and page authority of the website are high, then good values will be given to your website by the search engines as the back link is coming from high domain authority websites.
to check this go to opensiteexplorer.org and enter the URL of the website.

4. While doing link-building don't just copy the websites URL. Pay More attention to your targeted Keywords and include that keywords in the anchor text and in href add your website URL or the page of the targetted keyword.
