Foreign SEO: Link Building Like It’s 2012

We are in the same boat


@OP
Yes, some are dominating first results with spam, but you copy them, you don't gain same results

It's weird as you can't rank following English google rules, neither 2011 rules
In which languages u tried ? For example if for French niche I build HQ backlink my site won't rank ? And those who build spam comments will outrank me ?
 
Largely thanks to this forum I have no issue ranking my UK & US sites however for the past 18 months I've struggled to make the same progess with my German site. Anyway, I was doing some reading and came across this article : https://dfylinks.com/foreign-seo-backlinks-2019/


TLDR : SERPs outside of google.com & .co.uk can be gained through old school techniques many of us no longer use.

I was just wondering if anyone agreed with that sentiment and has any experience?

I'm tempted to go full black hat on my .de site and see if I can finally crack the first page!

This is so true, besides English, I am fluent in another European language and while doing some research a month ago I was shocked to see old school techniques in full force. Keyword stuffing and anchor text are the most obvious. Like others have said, besides the USA and UK the rest is way behind but remember one day google will update those algorithms too so have back up plan just in case. And when they do you can quickly adapt.
