Topical authority on random backlinks in case of other things such as getting links.
an approach that i found surprising is focusing on making pages perfform better even though they r already recceiving some page views yet they do not have many clicks. by working on minor things such as tweaking titles, making content flow better, completing missing sections nd making strong internal links traffic can be unlocked.

one thing that surprised me was refreshing older pages with better structure and more up to date information a few quality backlinks afterward gave those pages a much stronger boost than i expected

Thanks for reply!
Yes! I do blast using GSA SER for last tiers with kitchen sink including comments. So far it works for me. However I still afraid to use indexers directly to first tier instead I use to use indexers on later tiers. (cause I believe those indexing services using junk and I don't want bad signals) maybe I am wrong but I still careful. So far this strategy works for me.
(Tier 1 built by myself weeks ago manually + 20% of GSA t1 (very picky serverified lists / serlinks / sernune engines)
Tier 2 looks like this:
And tier 3 looks like this (i called myself kitchen sink but still i am not using trackbacks / indexers etc )
I am having great results with this setup. However, I am still eager to know if it is worth to use indexers, kind of engines, even kitchen sink. I am currently using this strategy on niche site (medium niche) / ecom site.
PS: yes since i use premium services and they scrape by google all root domains are indexed know it myself i guess its the reason this works

It should be fine for last tier but make sure if you are doing tier link building to build links to only contextual links and do-follow don't waste time and resources in tier link building building links to blog comments/guestposts/image comments and other crap it makes no sense and waste of time and resources.

The one that caught us off guard was cheap and technical. For a long time we counted characters, because that's what the usual title length advice says, and six of ours were getting cut anyway. The character count was lying to us. Google truncates the blue title link by pixel width, not by character count, so a title packed with wide letters gets cut at 55 characters while a narrow one survives past 65.
We rendered all 32 of our titles in the same font and size Google uses and measured them. Six overflowed, the worst at 646 pixels. We rewrote those until the widest of ours came in at 592 pixels, and none were cut after that.
What surprised us was how cheap it was, and that what you get back is a number instead of a guess. We haven't measured what it did to clicks yet, so the honest result is the truncation, not the traffic.
Best,

Refreshing old pages instead of publishing new ones. I updated outdated stats, rewrote weak sections, and improved internal links on a few articles. Some of them started picking up rankings again within a few weeks, which was better than I expected.

One thing that surprised me recently was how much refreshing old content outperformed publishing brand-new articles. I updated about a dozen pages by improving the search intent, adding original screenshots, and strengthening the internal links, and several of them started climbing again within a few weeks. Has anyone else noticed that updating existing content is giving a better ROI than constantly chasing new keywords lately?

Honestly link building outreaches and connecting with other companies is all you need to focus on. On page SEO is ofcourse the foundation for that.
