Surviving Google's Love/Hate Relationship with Backlinks

Me: Managing SEO at SimilarWeb since the beginning (2009), currently an SEO/PPC/Social

consultant.

What has not changed in our relationship with Google?

We are marketers, think like marketers, not just SEOs

No links, no love

Quality is much more important than quality

Money – Buy me some love

Internal links – Old, but always sexy

What haschanged in our relationship with Google?

Qualifying sites the old way

PR/PA/DA/etc - A tail and crown doesn't make her a mermaid

User experience is more important than ever

Bye bye, anchor text and keywords. Hello context

The only metric you need in 2016 to evaluate links?

Traffic, baby, traffic is all you need

Change your paradigm

Mary rich – Get links that pay for themselves

Getting those links

SERP attack

Referring sites & traffic hubs

Use CMS platforms, but build plugins, not just widgets

Social – Twerking Twitter

Adding value – Wikipedia, Quora, etc…

Banners, not only for Performance Marketing

Don’t hire writers, rent their audience

Some tools

SimilarTech.com– Find sites by technology footprint (link)

ScrapeBox – For research, or in semi-manual mode (link)

SimilarWeb PRO – Referring sites and popular pages (link)

• What?• Where?• When?• Why?• How?

SimilarWeb PRO – Keywords, or solving problems with the 5 W’s

Buzzsumo – For finding authors with an audience (link)
