Looking for information on link building

[Tremonade]

My cannabis-based blog is almost ready and I'm looking for a few options to increase organic traffic.

Now, there are many threads here from various sellers (such as Sherlock from sarkarseo, crowdo links, PBN links) and I was wondering which would be the right option for me. I once bought backlinks from Fiverr (and also from here) but those turned out to be spammy.

So do you have any suggestions as to which seller/service I should approach for my needs?

As a general rule, the links which are hard to get, in most cases, offer the most value. But there are different kinds of value. For example, editorial links (huffingtonpost) or other bigger links (wikipedia) are really good links to have but you don't get a bang for your buck in terms of SEO power. However, with these links you establish authority and legitimacy since only a site that is worth anything will acquire those naturally.

Then there are links from sites that are not as well known but are big in their niche. Whatever big cannabis sites operate in your niche are good targets. You will have to spend money, but not as much as the previous category. These links will deliver SEO value and also legitimacy value in your niche.

Ultimately, you want links from domains that themselves have a strong backlink profile. For example, a strong site that sells candy can give you a link if you have a page that talks about weed gummies. A vaping site could link to you in a similar fashion. You have to get creative and be strategic with your targets. Don't worry about getting lower quality links, those will come automatically with time. What you want to focus on is HQ Guest posts and niche edits because these make the most sense to acquire in terms of $ and SEO power.

Other HQ links include HARO links, as well as edu/gov links (if you can somehow get these, again very hard to get and come naturally NOT OFTEN).

Don't fall for link providers here with silly power ranger packages, it is all junk. If someone is selling you 100 links for $100, it is junk. You need to learn to vet targets yourself. Any link that is on a public platform without moderation is mostly junk.

PBNs work well, don't rely on them completely but you can incorporate them into your strategy. The only PBNs worth your time are monthly rentals, one time payment PBN links will die a slow/fast death depending on the provider since they have no incentive to renew the domain once it is filled with junk articles linking out to niche sites.

Poor link building can ruin your site, aim for quality not quantity, and stay away from public platforms as well as xmen spiderman marvel avengers, just like the real world, the SEO world don't have no super heroes

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

I always thought the more the backlinks, the higher the chances of the site being pushed to the top.

I'll steer away from those packages that are being sold here. Getting in touch with other domains in my niche seems like a good idea, and I think I'll give that a try.

Regarding PBNs, have you used any from here that you would like to suggest?

The more the merrier yes, but you don't want streetwalkers you want high end escorts (as many as possible), They cost more but you won't wake up with gential warts the next day. At the end of the day they are both for sale, but quality > quantity, however if you have the $ then obviously quality & quantity.

I have never used PBNs from here, I only ever did my own in the past. I don't think they are worth it anymore because of the upkeep $. But people use them all the time and they deliver good results for sure. For rentals, if you are paying $20 a link a month, that's just one link constantly compounding. It's better to do outreach and buy links. If you ever want to sell your site, it will be hard to sell one with PBN links, no one wants to buy that.
