Hello Gentlemen,
I know. "It depends". But in this thread, I'd like to go a little bit deeper than "It depends". I'm not expecting a lot of answers given the complexity and level of accuracy of those questions, but I'll give it a shot. Also, no offense, but please :
If you're not making at least $ 3000 NET per month with your website, do not bother to answer. Sorry to sound arrogant, but if like me you've been online for long enough, you know that the internet is full of wannabees, kids, and people who just want to share their opinion for the dopamine rush they get from being heard - without necessarily having the credibility to do so. I've been in some forum where people would pretend to be rich and successful not to fool others, but because they believed in the attraction law, and that saying those things online would eventually attract wealth for themselves. So understand that I want to filter through the noise.
Here are my questions :
1. It seems obvious that harder keywords need more BL and more quality BL. What's the formula for that? What's the measurable, data-driven, actionable formula to know how many BL I need and how qualitative they have to be for a given keyword ?
2. How do you judge the quality of a backlink? I know right: they have to be on the front page, not too diluted, have good trust flow, do-follow, look at the RDs pointing to the page that's giving you the BL, topical relevance, domain's age, yada yada yada. That's basic.
Now, what are the numbers I should be looking for to be able to say "that's a good backlink" ?
3. After one acquires backlinks, It can take months for them to take effect. In those conditions, how can you measure the impact of that specific backlink strategy, given that in the meantime, a plethora of other factors might have played a role?
4. I've had people on another thread basically saying that a service on the marketplace selling links was trash because it was not expensive enough. How can someone say something like that about a seller with dozens of positive reviews, without even knowing my niche or my KW difficulty? He must have a perfect formula to know beforehand if a backlink is worth it or not. What's the formula ?
5. Basically, how do you say : " Well, given that X , Y and Z, I need B backlinks with Q > N so that I should be able to gain R rank in W weeks " I understand that such a formula, or thought-process, will give very approximative results and that's ok.
Thank you.
