i assume that your problem is that you look overall.
but google does not rate domains. every single page of your website has an own value or not.

instead looking at the domain level you should have a look on single pages and what happens there.

even a site what has no other use as to make a click there have already some reason for a user and was helpful to bring him to his target.

pages with high bounce rates are not good. because either they have nothing what can attract a user or the users cam there with a wrong assumption (wrong link text) and close the site.

so how your domain will stand in google is the sum of how good all single subsites are standing.

if you hare i.e a subsite where users coming in and follow a link there to "sexy christmas trees" and the page "sexy christmas trees" is used (or even clicked a link there) - you can be sure that this pages will be shortly under "sexy christmas trees" in the top rankings.

as more top ranking subsites you have as more trustful will be your domain and even an internal link on a new subpage will help massively more as a dotzend external links.

so what many people forget when they speak about "trustful links" is that you can give them by yourself when you take an eye on what i told you and look that all your subpages have value.

if there is a subpage what will not work with no change you can make - than make this page "noindex, follow"
but keep the bad reputation of this page away from your domain.

sure there are a lot more little tricks and things you can do but if you just do what i say and be patient (because google needs long because they will not believe you but test it sometimes and you will not know to who or when your page will appear for a minute in the serps) you will see a HUGE change.

and the best of all - you do not need any halfwise SEO - because all that is logic. it is the one and only way how google can prevent to be tricked out.
the good old idea of PR and TR is too easy to fraud - that´s why they do not have weight in google´s algo anymore.

Google is still not perfect in that and there are still blackhat methods what are working for a while - but if you look longterm you are on the sunny side with this strategy.

imagine since internet exist nobody gave a shit on users. pornsites where happy when they where found with the key "summer shoes". but it does not make sense.
it is creating traffic what will not convert at the end.

so everybody was just looking for "traffic" and did not ask if that users will find what they searched for. SEO was killed by them who made it. and now SEO is just another penis enlargement biz. (many believe in it but it does not help).
