Best Backlink Strategy To Create Long Term Authority Site

@new_don few hints:
  • don't think you writing lots of blog posts on the same topic and keyword will help you. You will end up creating competing pages and google does not like it. It will not know which page to rank for your desired keyword. Take a look at all the difficult keywords and see the top sites, you will find that they do not have competing pages!
  • as for backlinks: since you are on a budget, I suggest creating your own PBN's using free web 2.0 sites. dont go crazy, build few at start (5), and concentrate on creating good solid backlinks (i.e. profile and other web 2.0) to these tier 1 links. You should notice some positive movements.
  • lastly, in my opinion, on-site optimization matters more these days than backlinks.

lastly, in my opinion, on-site optimization matters more these days than backlinks.
But after May update, backlinks matter more than on-site optimization. Before May update my site was ranking for many keywords without backlinks but now 50% traffic gone.
Have you faced the same problem?
Any advice to get recovered?

for the times that I lost my number 1 ranking, I went back and reassessed the new number 1 and other top 2-3. i want to see if they have made any changes to their content. changes in keyword density in major meta tags. are they answering new questions on their meta tag. i make modifications to address those changes


also another thing that I do, which I do not have any scientific fact behind: I go and add new content (not new links), to the tier 1 sites that I control. not sure why, but few times I have done this, my ranking went back to 1 again. I guess fresh new content to google's eyes makes the old backlink come alive again. again, absolutely no scientific basis.

p.s. by new content, i have tons of blog posts that I have copied and use them across different tier 1s across different time frames.

Anyone here with a good seo strategy for long term seo to create an authority blog?
I created a topic-related site 12 years ago. No ads. Just relevant posts on specific topics.
After 12 years it has become quite an authority site in eyes of google and bing.
I make changes and google bot visits it within next 5 to 6 hours and updates SERPs.
Now I've started linking out to exclusively to my money site, both new and existing.

No more relying on buying backlinks from Forbes, or CNN, or NY Post. Just without them my new sites jump sky-rocket in SERP when they get backlinks from my 12 year old site. It has DA 83 and inside pages got UR as 40+ and it has generated cool authority backlinks naturally from third party sites.

and there's more inside it. though I will not reveal that, its trade secret as rest of the members keep with themselves.

so this is the SEO strategy to create authority blog and sites. Don't rely on third-party services. They close down anytime, they change do-follow to nofollow backlinks anytime they want (example Medium.com, twitter short URLs). Be in control of your links. I always said, avoid buying backlinks. but build it yourselves.

Do you create separate google account for each site? (for Analytics & Search Console) or you use your same google account to create multiple projects in search console?
 
Do you have good knowledge of finance niche. If yes, also start a YouTube channel with the website.

I keep single google account for my money sites and other account for backlinking sites, blogs, etc. Same with analytics.
 
Don't worry!

Having no budget hasn't prevented online entrepreneurs from making money.

It's not the money that you have in your pocket that is the most important factor.

Instead, pay attention to how much time you're willing to invest.

You see, there is an inverse correlation between the amount of time you have to invest and the amount of money you have.

If you don't have much starting capital, you better have a lot of time.

If you don't have much time but you have some money, then you're still okay because you can hire other people for their time.

Do you get where I'm coming from?

If you have some time and you want to rank fairly quickly or at least start your website targeting keywords that have a higher chance of ranking, then I suggest that you reverse-engineer your competition.

The first step is to be clear on what your sub-niche is.

You already said that you're looking to target the personal finance niche.

That's a big niche!

Drill down to a sub-niche.

Are you talking about personal finance for kids, millennials, or baby boomers?

And even within those sub-niches, drill down even more.

The key here is to come up with a website that is an inch wide but miles deep.

That's how you become an authority.

Because if you're going to come up with a site that targets personal finance or senior finance, those are still too big.

It's still too easy to get clobbered because people have already published sites way ahead of you.

They're already getting a lot of love from Google.

Focus on the right sub-niche.

Now that you got that out of the way, look for existing sites in those sub-niches.

In this context, it's not bad news that people have already beaten you to the punch.

It is not bad news that they already have websites that target the sub-niche that you want to dominate.

In fact, it's good news.

Why?

By reverse-engineering them, they ended up doing your homework for you.

You don't have to make wild guesses as to the type of content or topics that you should target.

All of these have been figured out for you.

They paid the price.

Whatever you see that is ranking, that's been tried and tested.

You don't see the post that failed.

You don't see the post that got rejected and is gathering digital dust somewhere.

This is great news!

So get all their domains, and enter them into paid SEO tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush.

Find their easiest to rank keywords, analyze those keywords, and make sure that they are solidly within your sub-niche.

Filter these keywords further based on their monthly search volume.

At the end of this process, you should have the right keywords.

And then, the next step is to use content optimization tools like Postpace or Frase to get a contextual look at what your competitors are doing.

In other words, it's not enough to target these keywords and write content that delivers on the search intent of your keywords.

They also have to mention contextual keywords that your competitors are using.

This puts you within striking distance of stuff that ranks.

It's not guaranteed, mind you.

But it's definitely a whole lot better than taking random shots in the dark and hoping that you hit something.

I've laid out the framework for you.

You just need to implement these point by point and tweak them based on the results you get.

Remember, at the end of the day, it's all about the results.

So focus on building the system and then invest the time to fine-tune your content.

For your site to be successful, you basically have to go through each and every piece of content you publish and optimize them to bring out its full potential.

It is not a "one and done" type of game.

Instead, it's a marathon.
 
Buy old domains and use PBN blogs and create content and put them to your website
