Link building has always been the dark art of SEO. For two decades, it relied on a messy, human process: cold emails, guest post bartering, broken link building, and the occasional bribe. It was inefficient, prone to failure, and hated by everyone involved.

In the Agentic Web, OpenClaw has rendered this process obsolete.

OpenClaw builds links dynamically based on Information Utility. It doesn’t care about your Domain Authority (DA). It cares about whether your data completes a knowledge gap in its graph.

SEO has always been a game of optimization. We optimized titles, we optimized links, we optimized speed. Now, we must optimize rights.

Text and Data Mining (TDM) rights are the new battleground. As Large Language Models (LLMs) hunger for training data, they must navigate a minefield of copyright law. The EU’s DSM Directive explicitly allows TDM exceptions unless rights are “expressly reserved” by the rights holder in a machine-readable format.
