Ranking Without Backlinks Success Stories?

[Sweely]

Creating a site in a certain niche is sometimes all it takes to start receiving organic traffic.

I once bought 30 articles for a website that was made for AdSense.

In about 3-6 months it was getting about 500 uniques every single day.

Not a single backlink built to the site.

Although I had picked the wrong niche to start the site in (at the time, when it came to the low CPM) - I later sold the site for quite a nice sum.

Anyone else have some good stories to share, whether or not they're through parasites or your own website?

It will serve as great inspiration to all the people who are currently struggling in the SERPs

I had this with a local business but the competition was weak AF.

Cool! I'm getting so many local leads in my home country using parasites without backlinks.

I last got a call earlier today from a guy willing to purchase what I acted I had in offer on a parasite (which I didn't actually offer, I just put it out for test purposes). I love Google sometimes

Trying to work your way up in the serp for a new blog can be a challenge.

I remember starting a brand new blog back in 2012 and posting fresh content daily it was like feeding the Google monster amyways I built that site up to 1200 visitora per day then started to hire writers.

The key was to content with unique content to grow in the serp but first I learnt a strategy to index my new blog poat quickly amd built out my page speed and began to rank fast.

recently I noticed in ahrefs some websites rank without any backlinks for some low competition keywords. But those weak players stay up for grabs

How many articles did you have on your site before seeing traction in the SERPs? And for how long had you owned the site at that point?

It could be weak competition or maybe they are hiding PBNs from Ahrefs and other platforms;

I had about 40 articles ams started to see traction around the third month.

I made a parasite that worked really well with around 5000 words per page and around 50 articles. The content was generated with love (I don't share this though). I built it in a few hours and indexed without waiting, it ranked immediately The blog was pasted under Majestic and Ahref for certain requests ...
I tried to build links on it and the referencing to drop direct. This is a mistake because I would have liked to see the result with this new update.
It was not made for visitors, so you need to have a clear idea of what you want to do with it.

I'm directing you to a reading that made me want to do it. Obviously I did not do this in the same way (because they need at least two sites) but I thought semantic amplification: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/seo-relevancy-amplifiying-method-giveaway.855746/

The thread is old but we are more than ever in an era of semantic optimization and AI. It is most certainly the best key for the long term.

IMO the vast majority of sites that have low ranking or very few links are hiding PBN's 98% of the time. Sure you can buy PBN services, but the ones who are crushing it create their own.

If you want to rank for Tealish yellow pink & purple 8 ball - go for it. Unless you can find a GEM in the auctions, work is needed.

Guess I'm having success finding a lot of gems then...

In my opinion, this is more possible in other languages, because English community is too crowded. If I try to rank some websites in my native language [spanish] it's going to be much easier.

Great point. Like I said in my example above, Medium parasites in my country's language actually works flawlessly

You had good luck that the site started getting visitors without backlinks. I have tried this approach in past but it was not fruitful.

 

[Compazz]

its possible check https://nichepie.com/timeroid-technique/
it's old but i found it useful one thing for sure is you won't get
fast results might take way too long for you to even see anything
remotely positive.

Thanks. At this point, the website has over 500 to 1000 relevant backlinks from a number of unique root domains.

Not sure what that does for my SEO, but it's surely good. Not sure I would pass a manual review though

Ranking KWs without building any backlinks is doable with expired domains. Take a look at this case study where his client made $3,000/m in 4 months.

I haven't tried yet, but this seems to a good idea. But it takes a lot of time I think. Sure it depends on niche and keywords as well.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to build my next site on a an expired domain

Yep. Niche selection is always important!
