[Question] What makes for a good 1st tier backlink webpage?

Hello!

I was thinking if I could use my editorial backlinks and guest posts as good first tiers for a backlink pyramid.

My guest post and editorial backlink pages which point to my domain have 100s of internal links as well as many external links other than which point to my site (to their social media accounts and such),
will pointing lower tier links to these webpages give me any benefit at all given that I am one of many backlinks stated on these pages?





Regards,

Guest posts are good. Also niche edits & outreach links. You're gonna want links from actual websites that people are running. Not backlink dumpsters. You want good metrics with a low spam score.

Is it necessary to point links to a guest post? Isn't the guest post already providing link juice?

It sure is, but I wanted to use tier 2 and 3 auto generated backlinks through them instead of directly to me.
I heard since the penguin update, I should not mess directly with cheap forum and comment backlinks.

What is your suggestion?

I've just heard of scenarios where people try to pyramid with tier 2 and tank the pbn page as a result. Maybe that doesn't apply to guest posts and probably depends on how good of a domain you got the link from. For me I have found better value in just focusing on high quality tier 1 links.

Does the cost benefit of investing in tier 2 links to a guest post supersede simply purchasing another quest post? How much more link juice does one get from adding tier 2 links to a guest post than lets say spending the same amount on another quality link?

I have NO IDEA if it even gives any added juice. That is why I ask cause I think it will be just below one percent given the numerous links on the guest post page.

Anyway my concern is that I can't build like more than 20 tier 1 links each week and I need a faster option to get to my competitors which have like 10 times the number of RDs.

Just found this thread that sort of answers the question.
