Three-year-old domain, so it has some inherent authority. Completely virgin pages.
I hit it hard with DR 40-50+ link and use exact match anchors. Water it down with lower-tier links for branded/generic anchors. Works like a charm.

Of course links work... good links.
That's why google keeps telling us that links are bad and then releases another links updates.

People who say links don't work usually have no clue how to use them, instead of blaming themselves, they have a simple answer, links don't work, seo is dead, the sky is about to fall, yada yada

Backlinks work. They always work long as they're good quality and on good sites that generates traffic.
Only people who say they don't work are those who were either very lucky with not building links for their first projects and have stuck with that or those who are intimidated with the work needed to acquire good links.

Blackhat doesnt work said the purists.
Web2.0 doesnt work said the purists.
Ahrefs is the best said the purists.
Ai content doesnt work said the purists.
You need to index all your backlinks or they don't count said the purists.
If they only knew the truth.

Yes, as long as they are crawled. You only need to index a page if your trying to rank that specific page in serps. Backlinks shouldn't be indexed and shouldnt be in serps. Which is why people are having a though time indexing backlinks because google doesn't like that crap in serps and might become a target in updates if a backlink is indexed when it shouldnt be.

I see, but one should only be scared if they have garbage links or very unnatural links.

You're right about this. Google knows about almost every page on the web that is open to crawlers, but they only index the pages that are useful to searchers. So, you can have a backlink on a page that isn't indexed but still benefit from that backlink if the page has been crawled by Googlebot.

That's up to google to make that decision. I would rather make the decision myself by not risking it and not indexing it.

The real challenge, though, is getting to the top 3 for anything with decent search volume. Will be interesting to see what happens after another month of link building. Chances are your site will get stuck and won't budge no matter the number of extra links you throw at it.
