Users always prefer to click on the latest and updated posts, so by adding the current year or some call to action to the headline, you can maximize the potential to get initial backlinks. That can help get your site on first page spots.
Suppose we have 2 posts:
Link Building Strategies for 2016
and
Link Building Strategies for 2017
It is obvious the user will click on the link building strategies for 2017. You can also add the following phrases to your headline (don’t forget to add the current year to increase curiosity).
