Every guide here answers one decision a link builder actually has to make, and argues it from something we measured rather than from what the rest of the category repeats. Where a claim rests on our own data, the denominator and the date are in the sentence.
None of them need the product to be useful. Where the tool would save you time, it is named at the point in the process where it would, and not before.
Start here
- How to vet a link prospect list
- The full sequence, in the cheapest possible order: what to reject on sight, what to check in bulk, and the three judgements that still need a person. Includes the rejection rules we run on our own lists.
- Domain Rating is not enough, and on some lists it is worse than nothing
- On the 1,001 rows we opened, not one of the 285 at DR 50 or above was usable. Why that happens, when DR still earns its place, and what to put beside it.
- Dofollow, nofollow, ugc, sponsored: what you can know before you place a link
- What each attribute means to Google now that they are hints, how to read a page’s real behaviour from the links already on it, and why a platform default is not evidence.
- Blog commenting for SEO, from a list of 1,001 real pages
- Not a defence of the tactic and not a hit piece. What proportion of a bought list can carry a comment link, what those pages turn out to be, and the narrow case where it is still worth doing.
Workflows
Guides explain a judgement. Workflows start from a file you already have and finish with a shortlist you can act on.
