Guest posts are still effective in my experience but i treat them as part of a broader SEO strategy strong content internal linking and technical SEO are just as important
Refreshing older content has delivered the biggest surprise for me updating outdated information improving internal links and matching current search intent often produced faster gains than publishing new articles
internal linking made the biggest difference on my projects a better site structure helped important pages get crawled more often and rank higher over time
in my experience it's rarely just one thing rankings often slip because competitors improve user intent changes or the page stops being the best answer regular updates and a few quality backlinks have helped me keep pages stable
reviewing and updating older content every few months has been my best habit small improvements often bring better ranking gains than publishing a brand new article
i wasted a lot of time targeting highly competitive keywords too early focusing on easier long tail keywords first helped me build traffic and authority much faster
from my experience google treats edu links like any other link if it's on a trusted page with real authority and contextual relevance it can help if it's just a spammy guest post on an abandoned section it's not worth paying for
I have some websites that I translate from English to German or French with deepl, use purchased subscription images through envato and my blogs rank really well and have for years. So works well in my experience.
