My Viral Post About SEO Backlink Theory
Hi All, I have been assigned to bring good links for our website and Im having issues. :( i have tried slack communities, almost all of them have same people with same shitty sites. I have tried reddit, linkedin, facebook. Please suggest me something that would actually work.
Focus on real SEO, the text on your website, keywords and *internal* links showing relationships among your keywords throughout the site. Not backlinks.
Repeat, not backlinks.
You're looking at links from rinky-dink podcasts and "personal blog networks" that are maintained by SEO companies only to sell you backlinks to them.
Does that make any sense?
I haven't built backlinks in years. Google doesn't care about little-bitty opinions from your local chamber of commerce.
Google wants to see your site making an effort to be useful to Google users.
To satisfy and end a user's search.
That's it.
SEO means text. That's how people use Google. SEO means keywords. That means positioning your site as a *better option* for satisfying a user's search. SEO means telling Google your locality and showing your site's usefulness to Google users in your area. It does not mean a link in a local business directory.
I built this site into an SEO powerhouse in its area, after only a few months, from nothing.
From a site built with something called Acorn. I don't even know what that is. I've Googled it and I still can't find anything. Like it was made by elves.
I ranked that site by filling its pages with text, using keywords in dermatology, linking pages together to display, for Google, how every page is relevant and related to every other.
I built no backlinks. I did no local directories or whatnot.
I hate Backlink Theory and I hate the "gurus" who pitch backlinks as the end-all-be-all of SEO.
I hate them because clients come to me after contracting with a big fat SEO agency and dumping thousands of dollars into PBN backlinks and "getting the word out there."
Come at me.
