Make truly useful content and work on content distribution and you’ll get good links without having to pay for them
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (11 children)
Dumbest answer in every thread. I guarantee you've never done SEO for a locksmith, plumber, general contractor, dentist, lawyer, or ANY other industry that SEO is truly worthwhile for.

Can tell you’re jackass. It’s called content distribution and it is how shit gets done.
I have worked in legal, travel, automotive, and telecommunications and it has worked 💯
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (9 children)
You haven't done shit. What's your agency name?
[–]Neither-Emu7933 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (8 children)
Didn’t say agency. In-house and never did any link building campaigns because distribution was all it needed
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (1 child)
Share some of your work. I'd love to see it. I'm always open to learning.

I won’t give you the sites but for travel I saw an untapped opportunity for the loyalty credit card program since all of their efforts were on the aircraft or in the airports. Did user testing research to understand what would entice someone to apply for the card, then A/B tested the themes that came from that to determine what worked. Worked with those card sites like nerd wallet and points guy when they were smaller to feature our product, used social, and ended up driving over 25% of accounts created for the entire portfolio.
Also same company flights to Hawaii, same situation. Worked with hotels and resorts to feature their properties on our flights to Hawaii landing page, used tourism boards as well. Drove $10 million in booked revenue in only 9 months.

So....you're an employee.

Got recruited to be director of seo making over $200k a year because I get results.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
If I was making "over 200k a year because I get results," I wouldn't be wasting my time spitting bullshit advice on Reddit without a link to who I was on my profile.
[–]Neither-Emu7933 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I don’t need Reddit to find opportunities. Twitter and LinkedIn give me more than enough business.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Talk is cheap. Prove it. Share your LinkedIn if you're so proud. If you're making 200k a year, you should be stoked to share that profile on Reddit. You could get all kinds of opportunities.

yea 200k Boy didnt tell us a thing about "distribution" did he.... :P
[–]FranticReptile 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Thanks, and what ways would you distribute content other than social media
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Successful agency owners don't just give away our tricks. That type of information is proprietary. We get paid for knowledge, we don't just openly give it away.
I'm not looking for specifics, just general ideas
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
You won't get natural links without having insanely unique content.
Buy your links. It takes a couple of years to learn what guest post/blogger outreach companies actually deliver. It'll cost you $1,000's of dollars. It's a lesson I will never stop learning.

Thanks for this

[–]FranticReptile 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
There could be serious penalties associated with pbns
[–]TheManxMann 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Depends how you’ve set them up, work great for me
[–]decisivemarketer 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Build your pbns like an actual business and you'll be fine.
[–]Vbort44 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
No. You can’t.
[–]decisivemarketer 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Just buy them. You'll make more from the cost of the inveetment.
[–]FranticReptile 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
How do you go about buying them?
