I unfortunately don't have any site trackers, I just used the free backlink checker tool.

So just build backlinks organically? as mentioned above, I just sold a two year old site with over 250 quality posts on them with a total of 3 backlinks. The on page SEO was fairly solid but it‘s evident it was lacking in the off page SEO department.

Yeah, I think after years of trying and failing with sites, I'm just now realizing that. I sent you a PM for more insight asking if you knew anything about where I could gain more knowledge on where I can get cheap quality backlinks and when to start implementing them on future projects moving...

Where would one get good quality backlinks for cheap, if possible? I just sold my failing site to someone after owning it for 2 years and getting slammed by the September update with little to no growth with over 250 posts prior to that and within 5 days the backlinks increased from 3 to 256, so...

I could have improved on topical coverage for sure. My site was covering pets in general, so it was a bit all over the place. I had a previous site that covered a specific animal at the start of its creation so I think I did well there but it ended up getting slammed and never recovered, so all...

No, but I think it has a lot to with it. Not only does it boost your growth but more importantly, it helps solidify your rankings.

I had the site for two years and after 5 days of selling it the backlinks jumped from 3 to 247. He said he doesn't do active link building, but it's now obvious he's now buying them. I've always been against black hat tactics but if that's what's stopping me from growth all these years I'm not...

Yeah, I believe the backlinks were the gap he knew I wasn’t filling in for both sites. After being at this for over 4 years, I think my On-page SEO is on point and that I‘m pretty knowledgeable when it comes to choosing topics now. That said, I’m fairly certain that’s the only piece of the...

I ended up selling the site. Prior to selling it, he said that backlinks weren’t necessary for the approach we were taking. A few days later after the sale was finalized though, the backlinks jumped from 3 to 247.

Update: I sold the site and in a few days the backlinks jumped from 3 to 257. He told me backlinks weren’t necessary with the approach that we take (going after low competition keywords) but that was obviously a lie to get me to let go of the site. From the looks of it, this may be the one...

Who knows. At this point, it's honestly very hard to see what I'm doing wrong. I've been blogging for 4 years and feel I've implemented everything in the book besides backlinks. My keyword research was questionable with my very first site but the keywords on the two that I sold I feel were...

All good, man. Reading back on it I can see how it could have been perceived that way for sure. But yeah, this is super solid advice. This is probably exactly what I'll do moving forward. I thought I figured out what all he did with the first site he bought from me but I may have to dig a bit...

I've used all his strategies as far as onsite SEO and content length goes but I am very curious if he's doing anything with backlinks so what I do plan on doing is seeing if the backlinks change after he's bought the site because as I stated above, it only has 3. You think I'd be good to check...

There's no problem at all, I'm just looking for further insight as to what additional he might be doing so that I can do it myself. I never once said he owed me an explanation. I'm fortunate to have direct connection with someone who will buy from me at overly reasonable prices but if I can...

Yeah, I broke it up into sections so it wasn't as hard to read. I don't think he's a Google employee, but it definitely has you wondering. I just want to know if he's doing something that I can do instead to bring the traffic back up and flip it for higher profit. You think simply adding...
