I’m curious what everyone in the community is testing lately. Are you putting more effort into content, backlinks, expired domains, technical SEO, or something else?
Would be interesting to hear what’s actually producing results in 2026, especially for newer sites.

we should put more focus on linking topic nd internal linking for now until we have done some linking to our successful pages. Imo this approach works much better than volume.
 
Right now I’m testing more content updates, internal linking and user experience improvements. Small changes are giving good results.
 
Focus on useful content, strong internal linking, and relevant backlinks. For newer sites, building topical coverage and matching search intent seems more reliable than chasing quick ranking tricks.
 
Right now we're focusing more on acquiring backlinks from legit sites with existing traffic. Unfortunately, right now the market is flooded with boosted sites, which have traffic but worthless.
 
For a new website, focusing on creating genuinely valuable content and building a small number of highly relevant backlinks often yields more stable results than aggressive tactics.

Content and backlinks are in my focus. Other than that I also look after other things but they are not in top priority.
 
On new sites we mostly stopped pumping out generic informational blog posts, especially now that Google and AI answers eat up so many basic searches directly. Instead we put almost all the early effort into mini data studies or simple free tools that people actually link to and cite. Once the domain picks up some real editorial links and mentions, going after commercial keywords works a whole lot better than hoping a fifty article blog archive eventually moves the needle.
 
Backlinks and topical authority aren't competing for first place, they are both part of the equation, along with technical SEO and intent matching.
Content that genuinely covers a topic and satisfies intent gives the page a reason to rank. Relevant, quality backlinks can strengthen the authority needed to compete for those rankings. Neither guarantees results on its own.
I have seen well structured, intent-matched pages sit flat because the site lacked authority. I've also seen strong backlink profiles pointing at thin or poorly targeted pages that never rank. Both failure modes are real.
I look at SEO as a system rather than a hierarchy. the weakest part of the system is often what limits growth, and that varies from site to site.
 
In case of newer websites, my focus is on topical content & internal linking followed by some relevant backlinks, instead of conceentrating on numbers. As far as technical SEO is concerned, my work involves fixing things, if there are any problems.
 
I still put more effort into methods that move the rankings without the need for a lot of patience.

Expired domains + selective redirects are interesting if you actually look into the history rather than buying domains that have decent stats. I have also been testing some smaller PBN setups and tiered links.

Parasite SEO is another one I am testing. It's worthwhile testing but I wouldn't throw my markets at it. It shows movement on potential keywords before you decide to put a big spend on it.

SERP unpredictability in 2026 is enough to keep me from investing everything I have in one method.

in this case i m mixing it up instead of putting all my eggs into one basket. topical content with quality internal links is the foundation but there is some trial nd error invollved with some relevant links being built to test this hypothesis out. sometimes patience is important for new websites.

My main focus is increasingly on that which was already displaying signs of vitality. Locates the pages receiving impressions understand why they were not moving and works on those rather than wasting energy all over the website.

For newer sites, I’d lean toward content + topical relevance first, then backlinks. Technical SEO needs to be solid from the start, but I wouldn’t over-invest in it once the fundamentals are clean.

I am going to work on improving those that were on the second or third page already. occasionally, it was more effective to makes some improvements to these than to publishes another 20 blog posts.

Right now, I’d focus on content quality + topical authority + technical SEO, then build relevant backlinks gradually. For newer sites, I’d rather have 20 strong pages than 200 thin ones. Google’s current guidance also emphasizes useful, non-commodity content and says SEO fundamentals still apply to AI
