This stuff is just getting harder and harder, especially with Google's recent algo changes which seems to favor authority sites above all else. Just feels like an uphill battle. Spent a decent chunk of time and money on this, but just don't want to continue in vein any longer. Any of you other guys facing issues and if so how are you overcoming them? Cheers.
 
Still gaining ground with good content and steadily building tiered backlinks.
 
Mobile page speed looks to be the next big ranking factor to focus on.

How old is your site?

sorry for hijacking the thread, are you getting to the point that you are no longer building tier 1 backlinks and just focusing on boosting your existing tier 1's? i am at that point. i do a tier 1 when i know it is a very powerful and hard to get backlink. thoughts?
 
Publish related content and regulary update the content.....
 
To getting more traffic focus on longtile keywords and also target on main keywords. Also publish the content to longtile keyword and do update on the content ..
 
If you think about it, how many new sites are actually creating something of value and how many are just churning out IM crap. I would say 99% of new pages and sites being created are IM crap. So Google can probably just ignore those until they have a good amount of authority backlinks.

With YouTube they seem to be abandoning small creators now that they've grown and only want to push big names. Google probably as the same philosophy. They have no interest in showing you new content, only authority content.

Also, this board is weird as you never know where people are living. Some guy may post he's making great money with SEO, but that means $20K a year to him and his country, in America $20K a year means you're on welfare.

Buying some PBN links aren't going to rank you for anything worthwhile if you are just starting out.
 
work towards authority website mate.
 
What is the age of your site? According to my observations, now Google begins to show new sites after 3-4 months of constant filling (links + content).
By the way, links do not have to be trust. This was said by the representatives of Google themselves.
So here. After 3-4 months SHOW only. Traffic starts only after six months.

I continue to build tier1 backlinks but I also build tier 2 and tier 3 backlinks to my tier ones. Tier 1 one is a mix of guests, Pbn links, web 2.0's and nich edits, with a few comment links, forum links and what not thrown in. Comment and forum links I usually don't bother building tiers to, but the rest will get pbn, web 2.0, and comment links built to them. Tier 2 pbns will get a third tier in most cases, and web 2.0's always get links built to them.

Keep in mind, when building backlinks to PBNs, guest posts and niche edits, these site belong to some one and you shouldn't spam them. Build decent links to them. If you want to send a bunch of spammy links some where, send it to your web 2.0's. Although I have noticed spammy links to web 2.0's aren't as beneficial as quality links so always try to go for quality.


Another thing I found that has worked for me is pacing the speed of link building (link velocity). I have found a sudden influx of backlinks prolongs the time it takes for them to benefit rankings. The same is true if backlinks suddenly stop. Backlinking should taper up over time and then taper down. I do not build then to fast, slow and steady wins the race.

If you see that Google favors authority sites, why not build one yourself?

Surely, it can't be done in a day, week, or even in a month (while a small site you can start in an hour), and requires some hard work. That's how it is today, however. Either you adapt, or you change your focus in IM, or in business in general.
 
  1. Long-ass articles
  2. Diversity/camouflage links
  3. Blast with strong PBNs
  4. Profit
Works great today, worked great back in 2017.
Where the heck you are finding these powerfull PBNs?I seek your experience.
 
If you haven't built good quality links steadily for more than a year, then you haven't tried enough. Good content is only for sites that are already ranking / to gain natural links gradually over years. If you don't have such site, then it won't work.

It also partly depends on your intentions.

Is this a legit site you want to nourish and grow?
Is this a site you are happy to do pure black hat stuff on?

Have you had any penalties?


What type of seo are you doing and what frequency?

What are your competition doing? When did you last check their sites on Ahrefs etc?
 
Methods may change - primarily due to algorithm updates. One remains constant - focus on creating quality content on a regular basis. Longtile keywords make wonders as well.
