Finding niche websites for tier 1 marketing

It seems like for tier 1 link building, it is really important to have good content. I am little confused as to how to find relevant links for GSA to use in my tier 1 campaign. Was wondering if someone can recommend some ways to find niche websites for GSA SER -- looking to basically manually compile a list of relevant niche websites and import to gsa for tier 1 link building? My money site offers web design services. Not sure where to begin with this, to carry this process out effectively.

I appreciate any advice.

Your tier 1 links should be built manually completely and not with gsa. Use gsa for tier 2 and so on. You can simply search your keyword in the big 3 search engines and take the top 50-100 sites on each. These will be the most contextually relevant and best links you can get. Work through them to see if there is anywhere you can build a link. For example a comments section, is it a forum, does it allow guest posts. Etc. you might not get a lot of links this way but they will be be highly valuable so one or two here is better than 1000 low quality links.

Next you you can manually build some web 2.0s. You control the content to get some contextually relevant links of high quality. We build ourselves as we can control where the link appears. Towards the top of a relevant piece of content is more valuable than the comments section. you can then build links to these web2.0 properties in your gsa.

That at should keep you busy and will be a good start in your link building campaign.

Niche websites aren't used to build tier 1 links. Web 2.0s are used instead. Nevertheless, you can use niche websites but only those that you own. No one is gonna let you use their websites unless you purchase blog network links or submit guest posts and then use them as your tier 1 links.
