Do you have a good outreach script for niche edits?
Well, have tried quite a few ways for ecom (Infographic for their content, offering money, Broken links and offering commissions) = Most really don't care about infographics and broken links, money is what works there. (If you are doing this in scale)
If you want to get a link from 1 guy, you need to fake a lot of relationships, then you get a powerful link after 2-3months when enough money would have gotten you a link.
Check your competitors, email those sites who are linking to your competitors.
Tell them that you guys linked to my competitor, and we will like to get a link on that article coz our service/ecom is superior, etc (Money talks)
I do build money-based relationships with bloggers to push my ecom
(It's a pretty cheap strategy, to be honest)
If you don't have money to pay these bloggers their fee, will recommend doing web2.0s, forum links and stuff + 3-way link exchanges till the time you make enough money
(if i don't have 500+/m to spend on seo, that will be my strategy)
What is best link building strategy and which link building strategy you like most?
These things depend on budget, type of site etc. I have mentioned below what i like to build up authority, have to go after Branding and Authority these days. If you have a churn and burn site, use whatever. Links work
My favorite = Guest posts that rank for longtails, can get sales once in a while. Indication of trust and you can increase the power by building good links to these guest posts and increase rankings for your site and the guest post.
Modern Tiered Link building i must say
Best way to acquire featured snippets?
Authority! (Authority sites are getting many more featured snippets these days)
Have to test a lot to get these if you don't have the authority. I will recommend checking

what is the best link building strategie for brand site?
What i love is HARO links to the homepage and about page( works as most of the competitors don't invest time in getting those or don't know how to)
Build links to the homepage, misc pages (Stats, Research, giveaway, tools, etc) to push on for a long term Authority for your Ecom, Affiliate sites, etc.
Check sites by RKT publishing. You will understand somethings they are doing and making good affiliate sites.
If you had to choose one, would you:
a) create a lot of good content, then work on links to specific articles
b) work on building up the DR/UR of the site with links, then add content after that which will automatically rank better
c) do both at the same time, adding some content then building links then adding content
d) it doesn't matter, what matters more is x
Also, with or without explaining how in more detail, have you used/heard of a method that is currently effective for ranking for relatively competitive keywords faster than the 6 months min that is commonly prescribed? Are there ways to rank for kind of competitive keywords in like a month or two for example?
Thanks for info and your time OP.
D) I am a big believer in Authority, Branding, and Community.
So you need content you make money from, content for hobbyists, content for journalists. You have to figure out what that content is.
A lot of people say that they have awesome content on their website and when i see those pages, they are all top10 rehashed lists. That means that don't really know what quality content really is.
Quality content can be a review page with real images (those images get shared and you get links and rank) (You will need a few links to gain authority and stuff even if you are not in a difficult niche)
Google's aim is to rank sites that won't scam, that's why Amazon is everywhere, other ecoms nah. Google just trusts their site, even if they are one of their competitors.
I would make links to the homepage (Like a real brand would), and publish a lot of content which serves purpose for a different type of people, and see what's what working me. That's how you can build your brand. The aim usually is to get hoobyist, buyers in a community (check 310nutrition, they are killing it with this strategy), and get new customers/readers using google. Google will just prefer you if you don't care about them after you stop caring about them). I guess you will have a huge brand it is that they can't ignore you.
Well, this all takes time!

Work with people with traffic (look into Parasite SEO, Expired Domains, Pay Authority websites for Ad space)
What is your linkbuilding strategy for a fresh affiliate site.
If you have a good budget then concentrate on making it a brand, explained above. Look at RKT publishing too.
If your budget is low; you can play churn and burn, or concentrate on what building a brand over time, can take 2-5 years though. succulentsandsunshine did that really well with that model, found a niche for themselves, and did awesome with it!
To answer it in points (Brand way)
- Start writing or getting content that helps buyers, hobbyists, and journalists
- Build links to your website (Homepage, studypages) (I like to rank my stats pages coz it can be linked by awesome af journalists, attaching an image below) (Which helps the authority and helps to rank difficult af keywords)
- Build links to the pages you want to rank once they enter top4 pages (That's what i do at least)
Pcmag links to one of the stat pages on the website.
Churn and Burn Way:
- Money content (Review and best articles)
- Build PBNs, forum links, Web2.0s directly to the pages you want to rank (Works good af) (but not for long)
So start a longterm and churn and burn project together, helps a lot.
I used to get some links from pages which ranked... let's say my keyword is 'blue widgets' and I get a few links from parasites or blogs which rank in top 100 for the keyword. It used to work like a charm, which actually makes sense.
But it doesn't seem to be the case anymore... what is your experience there?
That is still an awesome strategy, it is just that google favours brands more than any other sites. So you need to make backlinks to your homepage, get some brand searches on google(using FB ads), and keep powering your links.
I usually boost my pages on fb whenever there's a giveaway, stats page, etc. People search for my brand, helps
and how will google algorithm know that you are a brand? That's what you have to check bigger brands for and do the same things.
GMB, Reviews by bigger brands, Anchors etc. A lot of things can be done, Ahrefs helps a lot in finding these things.
