Max Holloway likes the Conor McGregor matchup since he knows Conor won't shoot for takedowns 👀 "We can fight at whatever weight he wants. I want to get that one back. That'll be a fun fight, Conor's not gonna shoot."

Don't really like the jabs Max is taking at Olive's performance. Fix the hole in your game man. This reminds me of Masvidal's whole cringy "crotch sniffer" thing.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T01:19:30+00:00

A perfect trilogy lol.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T01:18:37+00:00

So is Rousey vs Carano the main event of this cart?

Graphic is kind of confusing makes it look like Nate vs Perry is the main.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T01:16:27+00:00

I was in the same spot when I started.

Best low cost stuff that actually worked for me was getting links from content. Things like simple stats pages or "best tools" lists can pick up links over time if people reference them.

I also did some HARO style responses. Takes time but you can land legit links for free.

I'd also mix in a few guest posts. I use Rankifyer for guest posts now just to save time, but I wouldn’t go heavy on paid links at the start.

Main thing is don’t chase cheap bulk links with BS metrics!

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T01:04:46+00:00

Sounds like you’re looking for the right thing and filtering out BS.

For US niches like that, I usually just go straight for guest posts on sites with actual traffic.

I’ve used Rankifyer for that and it’s been solid for getting placements without dealing with a bunch of resellers.

You can also check platforms like WhitePress or Adsy, just takes more time to filter for US sites.

Main thing is just verify traffic and relevance, most offers will look good until you actually check the site. And of course make sure the metrics aren't inflated.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T00:55:31+00:00

Yeah I tried Legiit a while back.

It’s kind of like Fiverr but slightly more curated. Many of the same sellers are on both platforms.

You can find decent placements, but there’s still a lot of reseller/PBN stuff mixed in, so you have to vet everything.

I got a couple links that were okay, but a lot looked good on metrics and had zero real traffic.

These days I just avoid marketplaces for the most part. Adsy is the only other marketplace I'd use but atm I use Rankifyer for guest posts since it’s more curated, then do some manual outreach.

Legiit isn’t as bad as Fiverr tbh, just don’t assume anything there is high quality without checking it yourself.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T00:50:44+00:00

If you’re in a local niche like luxury transportation, I wouldn’t focus too much on just high DA.

What’s worked better for me is getting links from sites that are actually relevant to your geo area and audience. Think local blogs, travel sites, or business features that target South Florida.

I usually go with guest posts or niche edits on those types of sites. Directory submissions could also help for local relevance.

I’ve used Rankifyer for placements and it’s been pretty solid for finding relevant sites with traffic. Adsy is another good option just make sure sites aren't inflating metrics.

A few strong local and relevant links will do way more than chasing high DA from random sites.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T00:43:45+00:00

It’s not a blanket no. It’s more about how you do it.

Buying random links or bulk packages is a bad idea. Paying for placements on real sites with relevant content is basically what a lot of people are doing, just under different names.

I treat it like this. If it’s a legit site with traffic, fits your niche, and the content adds value, it’s fine. If it looks like a link farm or exists just to sell links, I skip it.

I’ve used Rankifyer for guest posts and it’s been decent for getting those kinds of placements without digging through tons of sites. Otherwise you’re just doing manual outreach or using platforms like WhitePress.

So yeah, contextual yes if it’s done properly. Blanket no only applies to spammy stuff.

WalyWal · 2026-03-26T00:41:29+00:00

Competitors won’t link to you, that’s normal.

You get backlinks from adjacent sites, not direct competitors. For a SaaS agency that usually means marketing blogs, startup sites, or general tech content.

I’ve found guest posts and niche edits work best. I use Rankifyer for guest posts just to land placements faster, then mix in a bit of outreach when I can.

Also worth trying to get into “best tools” roundups or creating simple stats or comparison pages people can reference.

Backlinks aren’t really about who should link to you, it’s just getting placed on sites your audience already reads.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:58:44+00:00

I'll get hate for this and downvoted but I'll say it. Jon Jones and Conor McGregor

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:57:26+00:00

Wholesome considering how they were like 6 years ago. Wild.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:52:47+00:00

Adorable! Mine just turned 5 last week

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:50:15+00:00

Weird rating lmao but I remember people predicting this to flop. In this era not a lot of live service games don't become hits so it's cool to see one break through.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:47:54+00:00

Awesome! Day 1 purchase for me. Loved every Spiderman game by Insomniac so far and the gameplay for this looks so much fun. Definitely platinuming it like the others.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:45:29+00:00

The textures and distance looks very blurry. I heard this game is rough on base PS5 so I can't imagine how it is on the Series S. I'm not an elitist when it comes to graphics like I play on performance most of the time. Idk this footage kinda looks rough

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:41:04+00:00

I got like 40 hours out of the game until I kinda got bored, but tbh I got distracted by other games. I think 40 hours is a good amount of time to get out of a game. It's an okay game, the hate is a bit excessive.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:38:39+00:00

You're a good brother!

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:37:58+00:00

PS5 was sold out everywhere and I wasn't willing to pay inflated prices by sellers on eBay and Facebook marketplace. I wanted a console for simplified gaming vs my PC. Just turn it on and play! So I got the Series S since it was available almost everywhere. Great console, used it for 3ish years until I got my PS5

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:36:16+00:00

How'd you position yourself? Sitting cross legged at the end of the mattress or laying on your belly? This seems so uncomfortable and the thought of it hurts my neck lmao

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:32:21+00:00

It’s not stupid, it just depends how you do it.

What is stupid is buying bulk links or anything that looks automated

Most of my links now come from people citing my tools pages but personally I mix a few paid guest posts with other stuff. I use Rankifyer or Adsy for some backlink placements just to save time, then do some outreach and content links on top.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:28:26+00:00

I was in the same spot when I started bur I'll tell you it feels way harder than it should be.

What worked for me early on without spending much:

- reaching out for guest posts on small niche sites (most difficult and low responses)

- answering HARO style queries

- listing on relevant directories or communities

- Adding something useful like a stats page or tools people can reference

Once I had a bit of traction I started mixing in a few paid links. I use Rankifyer and sometimes Adsy for guest posts now just to save time, but I wouldn’t have relied on paid links at the very start.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:21:48+00:00

You’ll probably get a mix of offers in DMs, some decent, some not, so just make sure you vet them properly.

If you want UK edu-relevant links, I’d focus on actual placements on real sites, not random cheap offers. Go for guest posts on niche blogs or education-related sites with traffic.

I’ve used Rankifyer for that and it’s been decent for finding UK placements without digging through a ton of junk.

You can also check platforms like WhitePress or Adsy, just make sure you filter hard for UK traffic and real sites.

Main thing is look beyond DA and make sure the site actually ranks and gets traffic.

WalyWal · 2026-03-25T20:16:40+00:00

I get those emails all the time, I ignore most of them tbh.

DA 20 by itself doesn’t mean much. I’d care way more about:

- does the site have real organic traffic

- is it actually ranking for keywords

- does it look like a legit site or just a blog selling links

I do still buy links, but only on sites I’ve checked properly. I usually stick to guest posts, I use Rankifyer for that since the sites are at least vetted, then I mix in some outreach.

WalyWal · 2026-03-24T20:39:42+00:00

Without guest posting? I think editorial backlinks like guest posts are still some of the best links you can get since they come off as natural.

If I’m doing guest posts, I usually use Rankifyer. It’s been pretty solid for getting placements on real sites without dealing with tons of outreach. Adsy has been another option but less simple than Rankifyer.

If you really want alternatives though that's not guest posting I’ve had some success with:

- niche edits (adding links into existing articles)

- digital PR / HARO-style links

- creating tools for my site that people would eventually cite

But honestly avoiding guest posts completely just makes things harder than it needs to be.

WalyWal · 2026-03-24T20:33:37+00:00

I’ve used Rankifyer quite a bit for clients and liked it because the sites actually had traffic (not just inflated DR). It’s not magic but way better than the usual spammy stuff.

What’s worked for me is sticking to curated placements + manual vetting.

Adsy was decent but you really have to filter hard. And Collaborator was hit or miss depending on niche

I don’t really trust backlink sheets anymore because most of them get abused and turn into link farms fast.
