What's your link building strategy in 2025? for blogs

[amanguy]

Hi all
I'm starting a new blog in marketing/IT niche and need some tips from you

My stats with 9 posts with an aged domain (it doesn't have backlink profile, just aged)

That's a pretty good start. Keep writing regularly.
I would also use HARO. It shut down but whatever the alternatives are. I have received the best links using HARO. Talking 70DR 200k+ traffic. Sellers here would charge $1000 for something like that.

marketing/IT is NOT a niche, it's a freaking HUGE industry, and the reason for which this matters is because you will have to silo your site differently than you would do with a niche site.

Also, since you've already settled on marketing/IT I would choose the skyscraper (pillar content) technique since there are probably lots of big topics to cover, and these topics are best served with long form content, supported by short form content...

Regarding the backlinks, I would focus only on really good backlinks initially, and point them only to the homepage (with branded anchors if you have a brand, otherwise a mix of everything) and to the main pillars of the site (you should have at least 4-5 pillars, of at least 3000 words each, but preferably more since marketing is such a broad industry and has so many topics to cover).

And the rest of the pages (the supporting ones) can get internal links from the pillar pages, and the occasional quality backlink every now and then to keep them juiced up or something...

Try creating some PBN links. There are good number of sellers on BHW also.

Exactly, I'm doing content in silo structure but do I have any chance to rank in those hard keywords? I understand that it takes more than a year but is it even possible?

PBN for blog? I awlays use PBNs for black niches?

Can you tell what are these HARO links?

you can rank, but whether or not you'll rank high depends on whether google stop rewarding spam, which I don't see it happening anytime soon...

However, your screenshot shows that you are getting traffic, so it's an encouraging thing to see. Also the fact that you're using a non-dropped domain is a plus too, it really cuts down the time it takes to rank

But I don't know which keywords you are talking about since you've never mentioned them (but don't mention them regardless as you don't want others to give you even bigger competition)...

For niche blogs in 2026, the best ROI I've seen is a mix of: (1) niche edits / contextual links from relevant aged pages - still strong when placed properly, (2) digital PR / data-driven posts that earn links naturally because they reference original data or statistics others cite, and (3) internal linking done properly - surprisingly under-utilised. Guest posts still work but quality matters more than volume now. Mass guest posting on irrelevant sites is more of a liability than an asset post-HCU.

for a new blog i would start with few relevant guest posts and niche edits bro not too many links at once

Start with topical authority, internal linking, niche edits and selective guest posts.

Solid approach. Niche edits from relevant aged pages carry a lot of weight right now — the context around the link matters more than it did a couple of years ago. Guest posts still work but you really have to be selective on placement, not just DA chasing.
