I never built backlinks for one of my websites, yet it ranked well on Google thanks to huge organic traffic. However, it all went to zero when competitors started buying backlinks. I've lost $2k to $8k each month since then. After many months, I'm rethinking all my strategies. Being genuine and waiting for good results to come naturally seems to be a thing of the past-so far back that we don't even remember any sweet memories of it.
You may not have built backlinks, but you had to have some to rank and get organic traffic. Traffic is a byproduct of ranking on Google, not the reverse! Your traffic also wouldn't go to zero because they bought links - sounds like you got hit by an algorithmic penalty or something like that.
Trust me, first i started beleiving this that backlinks might not work, but honestly i think if you are driving a car backlinks are the real nitro that can keep you ahead!
Truly appreciate to your efforts brother I also think backlinks are still important and I request you to bring video on micro niche is still working or not
Great video I call BS with them saying links don't matter. For a ecom site, what should the inbound external link distribution look like. Homepage, product pages, category pages, blog posts.
I like to go heavy on homepage, next would probably be categories and blog posts. product last. good internal linking necessary. always a good idea to scope out competitors to see how heavy certain pages are on links and follow suit
Just see all video and Matt Diggity blog. Implement it, and you will do fine in SERP. You can see Koray too, if you can catch what he said. For me, is easier to understand Matt.
What’s weird is in my industry (pest control) very competitive in my area Dallas Tx, I’ve had competitors fire up overnight and their website ranks page 1 almost overnight for keywords, where I’ve spent hundreds of hours trying to setup my website how all the experts on YT say to with silo structure etc. and our average page rank is 7-90🙃 how much does a backlink strategy usually cost on a monthly basis?
Backlink campaign cost will fluctuate WILDLY depending on your niche and your competitors. If your comp is ranking overnight, would guess they are doing some black-hat stuff, and if not, would mean your niche is super low-competition and there would be some other problem with your SEO if you're ranking that low!
Ok I get that backlinks are probably the most important. I used to be able to rank as a niche site in certain keywords. Now as you said dominated by high authority sites. With that being said how does a niche site person like me build backlinks?
The same way anyone else does! (Lots of outreach) In short, foundational link building first, and then guest posting and link insertions will be your bread and butter. Can find more info in this video: ruclips.net/video/cNiOQ-yxjBg/видео.htmlsi=w9iRflOHYja-4Jws
How did we get to a position where one tech company controls the internet? I was so excited in the 90s to get a dial up connection….Now it’s all corrupt, and controlled by the few….
I tend to disagree with a large % of the things people from that crowd say 🙃 But I think I can understand it, with them coming from a more corporate angle.
Well, SGE is coming soon. How will links to your page even be visible, for starters? As i fell SGE is such a shit for owners of a websites - i do not know, so scared of this shit.

What Google says, just do the opposite.
😂 Not all the time, but definitely a lot of the time!
Lol

Will do!
New best SEO channel. 🎉🎉🎉
Surely that's a typo, but I'll take it! 😂
Chris, this is the best SEO video I've watched for a long time. So refreshing to advocate scepticism too, it's very sensible and healthy.
Wow, thanks man. Think I’ll remember this comment for a long time

@@ChrisTzitzis Thanks for replaying! If you could provide some info on Anchor Text Distribution It would be nice. Brandend, non branded, naked, url.
@@pedyrokgaming If you're unsure, just do mostly branded and URL anchors with some generic mixed in

love them both!
Koray is using complicated words to say nothing.
@@hyperpedro2868 agree that he uses complicated words and can be hard to follow, but he's a great guy and respect him a lot!
Keep going Chris.
That's the plan!
Google push their words in SEOs mouth through these journals, to keep SEOs away from sensnig thir signal.
Poor guy Google
True!
What browser extension are you using to show the DR below each result in the SERP? I don’t have a SEMrush or HREFs account.
It's Ahrefs Chrome extension. If you don't have Aherfs, you can get Mozbar for free, but it will only show DA/PA which isn't as good as DR/UR

I talk about this kind of thing with my friends often. The internet used to be the promise of a new, more free and open world. Not so much anymore!
yes, i commented something on roger's posts before, can't remember the details, but i know we disagreed
I tend to disagree with a large % of the things people from that crowd say 🙃 But I think I can understand it, with them coming from a more corporate angle.
Thank you so much 🙂
more to come!
By the way I'm from India
welcome!
Informative as ever thank you, Chris. What's that Chrome extension you're using @ 6:01 called? I'm sick of counting organic positions. 😂
Ahrefs toolbar, can use Mozbar for a free alternative but shows Moz metrics only ofc
Thanks 🙌@@ChrisTzitzis
@@jadens9569 yessir!
so if backlinks dont matter than how is domain authority figured out by? that makes no sense.
Did you watch the video? Of course backlinks matter!
Roger is coming for you bro.
I hope not! 🫣
You should change your channel name to Chris Sweet Tizsitz(sic) 😂 (subbed)
😂 Ty sir!
Hi Chris i love your chanel where are you from please?
Texas, USA
Confusing
Which part?
Thanks 🙏🏽 great video!
yessir! let me know what other content you'd like to see
@@ChrisTzitzis I’m a lady 😄
@@upliftingsounds2300 Sorry about that!
I took the 97.1% chance (according to our other channel's analytics) that you were a guy!
😂🤣
Well, SGE is coming soon. How will links to your page even be visible, for starters? As i fell SGE is such a shit for owners of a websites - i do not know, so scared of this shit.
Honestly I don’t think about it too much at all and think the shift away from organic results and towards ai will be MUCH slower than people think
Ohhhman! 😅
😎
Nice video dude. Keep it up 🔝
waiting for your vid, sir!
Using the name of Jesus Christ in vein - good job offending your Christian clients. Unsubscribed.
Bro that's my name! 😂

Google is a piece of shit! Page rank was garbage!
😂 But still the best we got!
