I’m not going to share silver bullets, magical how-tos, or secret strategies that will bring you thousands of links. I’ll give you something way better. I share my 3+ years of experience in building links and uncover how exactly we land links for our clients (including their commercial pages). With the help of my shared strategies, you can start getting links faster and easier (however, not effortlessly!). The biggest plus of my link building approach is that you don’t need to use expensive tools, hire a top-notch digital agency, or even write a masterpiece to start building links to your site. Even average content could easily be promoted to the top of Google if you could spot which sites you need to reach out to.

In a B2B niche the number of sites with a decent
DR/DA doesn’t go beyond 20k
1k referring domains is okay. BUT

How do we land links?
We don’t send mass emails (only
carefully written personalized emails)
We prefer to bring value (e.g. links)
and then only ask about giving a link
back to our content
Our link building partners are willing to
work with us on a long-term basis
41. @AlexTachalova
We built 30+ links in less than
2 weeks
Helped our partner to put together a
gigantic round-up post
Among experts who contributed to it, there
were a good number of people that were
willing to link to our client’s content (we did
it on purpose)
Once a round-up post went live, I sent out
many email where I was asking about the
possibility of linking back to our client’s blog
post.
