Backlinking is still the same in 2016, but I advise paying attention to anchor text. Anchor text variation is going to make or break your rankings. Google's algorithm and updates hate spammy backlinks, but what will break you is spammy anchor text.
You can still get backlinks from:
The main thing is to watch your anchor text. You can be aggressive but don't be spammy. Try to keep the density for your target keywords below 10% and have mainly your naked url and brand links for anchors. The more "natural" it looks the more Google will like it.
Tip: Silo your site with your target keywords to get more "juice" from your backlinks. Have pages from within your site link to each other to increase relevance. Also note that Google gives more authority to links within the body of a page.
Also tier your backlink sources to make them more valuable. Ex: link your YouTube video to your Facebook page which then links to your website.

Backlinks are incoming links to your website. It’s simple really…you vote for a candidate that you fully support or find most interesting. Similarly, you link to websites (or anything for that matter) that you think gives great value. As an SEO specialist, backlinks are one of the things you strive for in order to outrank your competitors.
