The thing to remember is you don't rank pages with links.
I've discussed this before. The reason many still think this stems from the fact that exact anchors used to be so powerful.
Let me give you an example..
In the past, if you wanted to boost a page "toilet seats" it was highly beneficial to send links with the anchor 'toilet seats'.
Now, naturally this wouldn't work if you were sending that anchor to multiple pages since that's just going to confuse the heck out of Google, so you would send a lot of links, with the anchor 'toilet seats' to your toilet seats page.
This would boost it for that keyword.
This is because the main Google ranking factors used to be :-
Title, H1, H2's, keyword density and anchor text(external and internal, but more external).
This was abused a lot and Google released the Penguin update back in 2012 or so. The goal with it was to penalize pages that were anchor overoptimized.
This was the beginning of the end of this type of SEO. People would still try to "buffer" their exacts by playing about with linking ratios, ie, sending 5 exacts, 30 brands, 20 nakeds and some misc to a page.
This worked for a while, but as Google got more and more advanced they started to use machine learning more.
This changed things on multiple levels..
The first was that they were better able to detect natural and unnatural patterns and didn't rely on just mathematical algorithms like "too many exacts to this page"
The second thing it changed was Google become MUCH better at understanding what pages are about, and we moved away from the keywords/h1/title/keyword density model and more to topical authority/user intent/topics within a page.
Obviously title, h1/h2's are still important, since even if you have a human look at a page. If the title is "How to fry salmon", they're not going to think it's a page about toilet seats!
But having dozens of mentions of the same keyword became less helpful, and Google also didn't rely on anchor text to the same extent anymore.
This meant that there was no longer an advantage to sending multiple links with the anchor, in the example, 'toilet seats', as Google knows your page should rank for 'toilet seats'. It doesn't need multiple links to reinforce this.
Here is where anchor text would STILL have an impact.
Let's say we sent links to your page with the anchor
'toilet seats that even tom belfort loves'
This is "new information"..
So Google CAN learn this new information about the page and start to rank your page for "toilet seats tom belfort loves"
Now, with this in mind..
And this is why I say :-
"You don't rank pages with links"
Because you don't, and you never did. It was just because of the effect of anchor text.
Juice flows everywhere like connecting a bunch of connected pipes to a water supply. The water flows everywhere there is connections.
There is a slight boost from linking directly to the page, but when you have sites like ecommerce or large info sites with 100's to 1000's of pages you absolutely don't need to be linking to everything.
You just need to have your site architecture setup well, so that the juice flows well.
Ie, you should be linking mostly to the homepage and category/collection pages, with some links going to some of the more important product pages.
Sending a super strong link to a product page will still boost everything on the site.
I have never seen someone send half a dozen super strong links and not have the entire site move up.
I have one SaaS client that has in the region of 10,000 pages. He's spending about $1k/mo and has 7 or 8 links, and his ENTIRE SITE moved up.
So I would completely forget the idea of spending money to rank pages.
What you should be thinking about is :-
"I'm going to spend money each month to raise the overall authority of my site and increase the rankings month on month"
Both in terms of my pbns, and guest posts/link insertions(niche edits)
Search volume is actually not such a useful metric for determining profitability either.
There are very high search volume keywords that aren't super hard, because they're not profitable, and there are very low search volume keywords that are SUPER profitable. There are some keywords where you can make $20k lifetime from 1 conversion.
Although in general 368k is pretty big and not something that's going to rank top 3 that easily without time and effort.
My links are only a piece of the puzzle. When they're used on a site that's already doing well, we tend to see a lot of growth across the board.
Ecommerce can go either way.
My ecom guys don't tend to spend BIG(Ie, $1500/mo). I have many that come in at $300 to $1k/mo, do exceptionally well, growing 2-3x across the board, and then just stay subscribed for years. Obviously they're just at a good ROI and happy.
I have others that come in, spend the same, and just don't get that much movement.
But this is what makes my service special. I don't bullshit people.
It's an opportunity to get some really great homepage links that have a good probability of giving your site a very nice boost and good ROI. Best case, your site grows and becomes more successful. Worst case, if you go for say $500/mo, you burn $1500 to find out it wasn't for you. People drop $5k on a bunch of overpriced mediocre guest posts that do nothing, so it's a good risk/reward financial proposition for real companies either making good money, or who have a business that has the potential to make good money.
