Most of the competitors have more than 1k root domain spam backlinks. Are you sure they also have tier 2, 3 backlinks?

Hello,

Although I had been in the whitehat SEO method for many years, I am a noob in the blackhat method. I have noticed that after the Google HCU update, many new micro PBNs are flooded in SERP for different keywords in my niche. They are outranking many high authority websites for lots of highly competitive keywords. I found similar type of spam backlinks for all the websites that are pointing to the homepage with EMD anchor text. Here are the examples of backlinks:

My questions:

- Are they building backlinks using automated backlink-building tools like GSA?
- If no then what other method are they using to build the backlinks?
- After the November Google update my website traffic went down more than 50% and it is affecting my revenue badly. I want to learn this type of method if someone wants to help me learn this.

Thank you!

They certainly look to be mainly comments on blogs, feedback sites, bug reports and more. They're built via automation - no-one is building these manually (even if they say they are). GSA and Xrumer can probably both handle these types of links, maybe with a bit of tweaking to the default engines.

Thank you for your input. I also seen different forum links like below:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/doinstead-not-working - This is a hidden link within the forum post.
https://allods.my.games/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=30835 - Forum Signature link.

Can this type of link be built by automatic tools?

Steptoe said:

Forum signatures yes, hidden link looks to just be css styling of a span tag, which would just need a bit of customization in either GSA or Xrumer. I don't recognize the platform of the first link, so that may have to be specially scripted.

Thank you for your time. Well, do you know someone here who can build such type of anchor-rich backlinks for my projects, either through automated or manual processes?
