For new sites I'd go content + internal linking first. Once that's solid start pushing relevant backlinks.

For newer sites, keep the strategy simple. Publish useful content, improve older pages, and build relevant links slowly.

These days, I’m focusing heavily on the quality of my website’s content and optimizing the site’s internal structure for AI-powered search to increase its visibility and reach more potential customers.

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.

What do you mean by boosted sites? I think I have come across a few sites that have traffic but I never see them ranking for any keywords when I manually check. How do these sites get traffic then? Even in SEMRush traffic shows for them I think. Are these boosted sites?

That’s why for topical authority I have created my own in house tool. And actually this is doing great. Already crossed 500 users.

Now for newer sites focusing a lot on programmatic or topical authority driven content along with foundational technical SEO is giving the best starting traction. Low quality backlinks in amounts are not working as well anymore so getting a few high relevance, contextual niche edits or outreach guest posts makes a much bigger difference, than just having a lot of links. Build topical clusters first before trying to build links aggressively.

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.

I'm posting consistently and only excellent content. I also try to get backlinks from highly authoritative relevant websites.

I have completely shifted my mindset where I would instantly work with an ego to see results in a week and when none showed I would be flat on the ground the same week. Now things have quite changed with me coming to terms with what seo really is 'being consistent' 'Research' 'Structure' 'Trial & error' things start being clearer when you see the broader picture. SEO is not a game its a journey.
