What backlink types are still working for you in 2026?

With Google getting stricter, I’m trying to focus more on links that actually bring traffic + relevance instead of just DR.
Have you seen better results from:

• forum links
  
• niche edits
  
• guest posts
  
• directories
  
• or something else?
  

Would love to hear what’s working for you recently.

Guest posts are working great for me at the moment
