Does Tiered Link Building Still Work in 2022?

[jstover77]

Why not web 2.0s???? Can you plz explain?

I was about to start on a project with NEW web 2.0s as tier-1, then good PBN(public blog network) as tier-2 and then GSA blast.

Think of it from Google's perspective. Web 2.0s are backlinks you can create with minimal effort. Then you want to build more garbage to tier them with even more garbage links?

First, it's not a sustainable long-term business model. Even if you rank using this method, the chances of it being sustained over a long period of time are low. These types of backlinks tend to decay at a high level and that's if you can get them indexed in the first place.

Second, you think Google doesn't understand that every Tom, Dick, and Harry has been using these methods since 2014-15. They're played out and that's being generous presuming they were good methods in the first place.

You either spend the money on high-quality backlinks or spend the time acquiring them. That's how you build long-term success with SEO. It's not brain surgery homie.

**Sorry if I come off as harsh, not my intention.

Thanks for coming up with a reply. Before I start I should share a fact that- my first site was on a html based web 1.0 (probably wen.ru) back in 2006, and my second serious site I created on January, 2022. Hence it is clear, I have missed out 16 years of SEO era.

But, still be assured that many sleepless night since last one year i have spent to study SEO.

it's not a sustainable long-term business model.

Yes, I admit it. In fact, i always wonder why this should work on long term? But, I can see sites that are going sky high with those links for wuite a long periods.

using these methods since 2014-15

Yes, as what I have said in the beginning that I was not in the SEO world.

spend the time acquiring them

Yes, I have started buying guest posts and taking links in a natural manner. But what is pathetic to see, for a given topic some valueless sites are ranking only with the power of tiered links that too having garbage web 2.0 as tier1.

My primary aim is to get traffic and sustain for a very long period with the same site. Thats why even after having adsense approved I didn't dare to turn it on untill traffic hits.

All i lacks is click, while there is great impression in search console.

Tiered links won’t work if you are building links to non contextual links within content.

I'm a bit short on time, but there are a bunch of case studies on this forum that will show that you really don't need to build a ton of links for informational types websites (I'm assuming that's what you are building). It's all about building quality links in a strategic way (quality over quantity).

I'll find the case studies for you in the morning.

 

[SirLouen]

Always think: why it would not work? It doesn't sound natural done the right way?
Check this.

informational types websites

Yes The site can be called informational as per google's intent but the actual intent is to just provide file downloads (not piracy type of things). But, everything on the site is at per to the best of my knowledge.

The pages are super super on-page optimized, long well crafted manual written articles (G always index after posting, atleast as of now), use of 3 types of schema (cometitors don't even use it much), google page speed to 100 (i have mastered any wordpress website soeed optimization to atleast 91 if not 100), internal linking, image optimization and all.

I'll find the case studies for you in the morning.

Yes, that I would appreciate the most. Just a hope the case studies are not too old.

quality over quantity).

Yes, I agree and wanted to stick with it. But again when I see the link profile and traffic of my competitors, my mind just blows.

 

[Linkzo]

Yeah ,it still works when you diversify the link profile and use tier 2 links to inner page than homepage. Mostly tier 1 with high quality and relevant content to be pointed to homepage to get whole link juice.

 

[iAuthority]

Yes it works, make sure you build the quality links on each tier to enjoy better results.

 

[Steptoe]

my first site was on a html based web 1.0 (probably wen.ru) back in 2006, and my second serious site I created on January, 2022

Woah! I hope you don't leave the same time gap between your current serious site and building your next one

Tiered link building still works, but the types of links used for each tier have moved on from the days of Matty Woodwoodwoodwoods guides

 

[mksit]

Yes it works, make sure you build the quality links on each tier to enjoy better results.

So you are confirming that, starting with new web 2.0s as tier-1 is okay in 2022. Ofcourse there will be need of diversifying the links of money site, so that it shouldn't look like my money site only has hundreds of web 2.0s backlinks.

Basically I wanted to create tier-1 web 2.0 as my PBN (Private Blog Network with OBL policy).

 

[Anticitizen1]

Works but tier 2 s should be quality as well. Not just GSA blast

 

[IM Dude]

Google looks back 3 levels of backlinks after penguin update. It's a good way to ding your site.

I clap for your humour. Yes, there will no gap as soon as I start earning from the current serious site. More detail you can find on my about section.

So, starting with new web 2.0 blogs as Tier 1 PBNs a good start? Ofcourse I know there should be all kind of links on my money site. But, those web 2.0 blogs will be my sword, am I right?

Okay, I update myself. I heared from a webmaster of a million traffic website that as of now g algo can read upto tier-2 only.

 

[faisal29]

As you improve site's visibility, you should know that link building remains one of the most effective SEO tactics. Since Google continues to factor in high-quality backlinks to determine a site's credibility, investing in a link-building campaign can potentially grant you more ranking and conversion opportunities

 

[mksit]

Okay. If i am using good paid PBNs (public blog network) as tier-2 which have already good metrics and google still indexing its pages (to see it with site: dorks), and instead GSA if I use RankerX premium sites, then?

Also, what about this?

So you are confirming that, starting with new web 2.0s as tier-1 is okay in 2022. Ofcourse there will be need of diversifying the links of money site, so that it shouldn't look like my money site only has hundreds of web 2.0s backlinks.

3 level thing is something I saw in a matt digitty video, here it is:

 

[jstover77]

Yes, I mentioned this previously in this post. Google follows your links upstream, so if you are slamming your tier 2/3 links with garbage, it can be detrimental. Really, it's pointless. If you build quality tier 2 backlinks, there is no need for tier 3.

Tier 1 - DR 40+
Tier 2 - DR 10+

Use only quality niche edits/outreach at both levels.

**if you use this method with quality on-page (use CORA or Surfer SEO), you'll have success the majority of the time.

This shit isn't brain surgery.

Tiered links won’t work if you are building links to non contextual links within content.

how can it be non contextual within content ?

if its within content - its contextual (?)
