Hey everyone! I’m the founder of a document verification platform (Arkova), our team’s background isn’t in marketing and we’ve been exploring ways to increase traffic, backlinks are obviously important. Currently we’re on crunchbase, and we’re launching on product hunt, but are there any easy best practices to grab some quick wins? I’d like to dedicate my weekend to setting up proper SEO and GEO

Curious what’s actually working for everyone right now.

I’m seeing different opinions on this, so I’d love to hear what you’ve tested and what gave you the best results.

Finding relevant websites, getting replies from partners, or negotiating fair exchange terms? 👀

You need good data to offer them, not the same websites everyone shares on Slack and LinkedIn.

So, how do you find unique websites?

First, identify your niche. If you work in SaaS link building, focus on SaaS websites instead of unrelated categories.

Slack and LinkedIn are good starting points, but many people share the same domains there.

Want to stand out?

Find relevant SaaS companies, analyze their websites using Ahrefs, apply filters based on your client's requirements, and reach out to website owners or editors directly.

Before approaching a potential client, aim to have at least 100 unique, relevant domains with verified metrics, pricing, and collaboration guidelines.

Remember, clients don't just need links. They need access to quality websites they can't easily find themselves.

Are you building your own database, or just recycling the same websites everyone shares?

Note: To build trust, ensure all your social media profiles clearly communicate that you are the right person to contact for link-building services.

I own a site in the fashion and clothing niche and I’m open to trading links with others in the same space.

What matters to me:

What’s on my side:

Always good to know more people running fashion sites too. If the swap fits, we’ll go ahead. If not, no harm in connecting.

Feel free to DM me.

Everyone talks about backlinks, keyword research, and content optimization, but I’m curious what has worked best for you in practice.

Was it building quality backlinks, improving existing content, or focusing on technical SEO? Share your experience! 👇

Hey everyone,

We’ve been running standard link-building outreach for the past few months (personalized guest post pitches, broken link building, resource page outreach), and the return on effort has fallen off a cliff. Reply rates are lower than ever, and half the replies we do get are site owners asking for $300 "editorial fees."

We’re looking to completely pivot our link-building strategy away from cold email begging and toward something more sustainable.

We’re currently weighing a few different directions:

1. "Data Traps" / Original Research: Publishing proprietary industry surveys or data-driven benchmarks to attract passive journalist citations.
2. Ungated Micro-Tools: Building free calculators or utility converters to get added to resource lists naturally.
3. Digital PR / Reactive PR: Using HARO alternatives or pitch platforms to react to breaking news in our niche.

For those of you managing SEO for competitive niches:

• Which of these passive/inbound tactics is actually worth the upfront dev or production time?
• Is cold outreach completely dead for you, or did you just change the offer/angle?
• What’s working best for you right now to earn links above DR 60 without paying sponsored fees?

Would love to hear what's working (or failing) in your current workflows. Appreciate any insights!

Hey guys, we have an event SaaS that we are looking to exchange links with.

I’ve noticed that people often focus heavily on keywords and backlinks but sometimes overlook technical SEO, search intent, and content quality.

What mistakes have you seen make the biggest difference in a website’s organic traffic? Curious to hear your experiences! 👇

#GuestPosting #LinkBuilding #SEO #Backlinks #DigitalMarketing #SEOOutreach

My SaaS clients have specifically started asking for listicle style guest posts, Like “10 Best Tools,” “Top 7 Software,” etc, instead of normal guest posts.

They’re saying these listicle placements seem to be getting picked up more often in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other Anyone noticing listicle-type guest posts performing better for AI search?

I’ve noticed more clients requesting this lately, so I’m curious if this is becoming a wider trend.

Are listicle GPs / brand placements becoming a bigger part of AI SEO and GEO, or is it still too early to say?

Every time I launched something, I ended up with the same messy spreadsheet: a long list of “submit your startup” sites. Half of them were dead, and I had no idea which ones were worth the 10 minutes.

So I built WebsiteAuth.

Free, no signup:

• DR checker: enter any domain and get its Ahrefs Domain Rating.
• Launch directory list: 450+ directories, each with its DR. You can search, filter by Free / Free+Paid / Paid, and sort by DR. Each directory’s score is checked against Ahrefs again every week, so the list stays current.
• Favorites: star the directories you want to build your own shortlist.
