<p>Very informative post Darren, Although link reclamation being a great strategy for link building, however getting it done is a tedious job and involve using combination of several tools and manual work which may augment your budget. However, if mentions are sufficiently big in numbers, the cost can be justified. Anyway it may or may not increase the quality of links as high DA websites usually don't mention a brand without a backlink to the given sites as to convenient their visitors. So most of the mentions may come from low DA sites and so affect quality of backlinks. This can best be done as a secondary link building strategy in addition to the given primary one. This will anyway add to the backlinks count.</p>

<p>The ultimate goal of links is to get your pages top of search engines and mostly it all have to be in niches and hence a high DA site can back you with a valuable link but don't expect that will be shared with the same value. However, comparatively the job is done. The bottom line is traffic, and what difference does it make if it's coming organically or through socials. </p>

<p>Some of the times, even a brainstorming session doesn't help just because whatever the content developer team suggest, Its already there like old wine in the new bottle, but keyword strategy can have many permutations and combinations and may result in some unexplored ideas in your business domain. Great article Brian.. Very helpful. <br /></p>

<p>By extending the search results prioritizing keyword flexibility query match in SERP, google has actually evolved out of the 2010-12 era and that's why abridging the knowledge gap based on the vast amount of query data it stores resulting enhanced user experience. </p> <p>Great post..<br /></p>
