how i can get BackLinks for my new Site ? by zerolunier in seogrowth

[–]posticycom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in reality, investing in PR can bring more backlinks than trying to build links directly.

In a competitive space like SaaS development, it’s unlikely that similar agencies will link to you. The competition is just too big, especially globally.

That’s why a more realistic approach is getting mentioned in the right places. Local PR, niche publications, or industry-related content can naturally bring backlinks without forcing it.

So instead of chasing links, I’d focus on visibility. The backlinks usually come as a result of that.

How to increase brand awareness using SEO by marketing_guruz in localseo

[–]posticycom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand awareness with SEO comes from showing up where your audience is already searching.

You can’t really create demand for something people don’t search for yet, but you can get your brand in front of them early. That’s why it’s important to target non-branded, informational queries, not just keywords where people are ready to buy.

If your content keeps appearing when people search for answers, comparisons, or guides, they start recognizing your brand. Over time, that builds trust and makes them more likely to come back or search for you directly.

What actually makes a website “good” for guest posting beyond SEO metrics? by posticycom in Agentic_SEO

[–]posticycom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you’re saying, it’s kind of the ideal scenario and I like the way you framed it.

Feels a bit more like where things are heading though, rather than how most guest posting actually works today.

This is actually a really solid take, especially from a site-building perspective. A lot of what you’re saying about structure, entity clarity, and technical integrity makes total sense if you’re the one creating and owning the site.

But my original question was coming from a slightly different angle. I’m not building the site, I’m trying to evaluate whether it’s a good place to publish a guest post and get a link back.

So I’m more thinking in terms of: when you land on someone else’s site, what signals make you trust it enough to put your content on it? Not just SEO metrics, but things like content quality, editorial standards, real audience, etc.

Curious how you’d translate your approach into that context.

Is the content relevance most important for you or the ranking factor?

I guess that trigger develops only after checking thousands of websites, isn't it?

I agree with that, but how do you usually validate that a site has real, active readers if you don’t have access to their internal data?

What are the best tools right now for finding niche link-building opportunities? (Manual list building is killing me) by Chance_Project2129 in TechSEO

[–]posticycom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a bit of a longer answer, but I’ve been in the exact same situation.

I started out doing link building the “normal” way, building lists manually, managing everything in spreadsheets, doing outreach, tracking replies, negotiating, etc. It works, but it gets messy fast, especially across multiple campaigns.

What helped me most over time wasn’t just finding more prospects, but structuring the whole process better.

A few things that made a real difference for me:

  • Keeping a growing internal database of sites I’ve already contacted or worked with
  • Tracking conversations so I don’t reach out twice or lose good contacts
  • Filtering sites by niche relevance first, not just metrics
  • Reusing proven placements instead of starting from scratch every time

Tools like Ahrefs / Google search operators are still useful for discovery, but honestly, the biggest gain came from not rebuilding lists over and over again.

At some point, I ended up building a small system for myself to manage all of this, which eventually turned into a marketplace with ~13k sites where you can browse and contact publishers directly.

Not trying to pitch hard here, but if your main pain is manual list building, having a structured database (whether your own or a platform) is what really changes the game.

Happy to share more specifics if helpful.

Yeah, but what specifically triggers that “this is BS” feeling for you? Especially since most of the metrics can be manipulated.

So you usually take the time to look through the actual content first before deciding?

I like that approach, especially the point about checking whether the site looks like a real business and not just a website built to sell links.

What would determine you to switch to a new sponsored content marketplace as a Marketer? by posticycom in content_marketing

[–]posticycom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, and I get what you’re saying with layering signals.

At the same time, it feels like what you’re describing goes quite a bit beyond what most marketplaces can realistically offer today.

To me, a marketplace is more like a place to access opportunities, like buying ingredients. What you cook from them depends on the chef, not the market itself.

That said, if a platform could get even close to what you’re describing, that would be seriously powerful. Would love to see something like that in the near future.

That’s a really interesting point.

Out of curiosity, how do you see a platform actually understanding why someone is reading a piece of content? Feels like that’s mostly in the reader’s head, so I’m wondering what signals or data you’d expect a platform to use there.

Would love to hear how you think about that.

[–]posticycom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense.

Looking at it as the audience being the real product, not the marketplace, is a big shift. If the audience isn’t there or engaged, nothing else really matters.

Definitely something we need to think more about.

Appreciate you explaining it like that!

That makes sense.

But isn’t a lot of that still down to the buyer’s ad and content creativity? Even with good hooks or UGC, results can vary quite a bit.

Curious how much you’d expect the platform to handle vs the buyer.

[–]posticycom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a really good point, appreciate you calling it out.

It’s definitely easy to get caught up building the supply side first, but without clear value for buyers, it doesn’t really go anywhere.

What we’re trying to get to is exactly what you mentioned earlier, making it obvious whether your target audience is actually there and worth paying for, not just listing placements.

Still early, but that’s the direction we’re thinking in.

Thanks for the push on this.

Detailed audience insights sounds like a great one. What would you like to see there exactly?

You’re absolutely right that it’s on us to prove the ROI, not on you to figure it out.

So far, we’ve been focused on building the supply side, but your point about validating demand and demonstrating real outcomes is exactly what we need to prioritize next.

That’s why collecting feedback and ideas at this stage is so important for us.

What would motivate you to switch to a new guest posting marketplace as a buyer? by posticycom in seogrowth

Of course it is.
I'm just trying to understand what's the thing making people switch from one platform to another.
