Links Links on Fire - Incinerate the SERPs with Real Pre-Outreached Links and a Proprietary Boost

Review

Thank you big time for the help on that project @Ryuzaki, I appreciate it. That niche has been a nightmare to get links for.

We ordered 5 X dr70+ links with boosts to the internal page, he definitely over delivered on metrics. For as difficult as it has been for us doing outreach for this niche, Ryu was able to get us these pretty damn fast imo, a lot faster than i expected anyway. The whole process was smooth, and i will definitely be ordering more in the future when i need to go nuclear on shit again lol.

The page was fairly anchor heavy when we placed the order, as we continue building and diluting down anchor distribution %'s and everything gets balanced out and fully valued, i'm 100% confident we will be able to bitch slap that page into position 1. There is no doubt in my mind that the MAIN reason we are going to be able to get there is due to the links Ryu built for us, they are definitely a game changer.

Thanks again, i have been meaning to get on here and leave a review.

Cheers.
 
We're pumping out the link campaigns like madmen over here at Links on Fire. To all of you guys with the bigger porjects that have entrusted us with the off-page side of your operations, we appreciate you and are glad to see you crushing it.

To all of the newcomers testing us out, you all have the same set of questions and I can't blame you for not reading every bit of this long, detailed thread. While most of the questions are answered in the FAQ's & Reviews post (2nd post in the thread), I've got a quick and easy way to help you digest all of that, backed by "experts in the field". Check that out below. But first...

Over-Deliveries​

I always like to share just a sample of our over-deliveries (defined by bumping you up to the next package or further) because I want everyone to know that we're grateful to you for choosing and trusting us. It means a lot, because we work hard for you and we want to say thank you in return the best way we can:

OrderedDeliveredRD'sLinks

DR50+DR808.64K191K
DR60+DR7616.9K483K
DR60+DR7314.4K220K

You know I hate making these tables, so I'm not going to bother with the zillion DR50+'s that hit the low DR60's. Whenever we can do it (and it's often), you're going to get more than you asked for. If we can find a better site and placement for you, and it requires us to to go the extra mile, we're going the extra mile. That's our commitment to you.

State of Link Building Report​

Every year, Aira.net releases their State of Link Building Report. They ask a bunch of "experts" (meaning people working for agencies) (meaning people who often outsource to us and take the credit) who end up dealing with a high quantity of links of various levels of quality what their opinions are this year.

This year they queried people who have their heads on straight, unlike in past years. I was surprised to be in complete alignment with their answers, except the goofy outliers. Here are some of the questions they were asked and their answers. These will answer some of the repeated questions I field weekly (and my commentary):

HuH7h77.png

​
Does link-building work?
96% of agency link builders say yes, they get at least an "effective" use out of them, with 82% being a 7 out of 10 or above. I mean, obviously it works. So why is there 4% of dunces who think links don't provide a benefit? The answer to that is wrapped up in the text of the next question.

jls0GJZ.png

​
How long does it take for links to kick in?
First, and very importantly, they insert the caveat: "assuming you don't have tech SEO problems and/or some other type of penalty..." That's huge, but I'd also add "assuming your site isn't brand spanking new with zero trust and a lack of current authority."

The answers above are for good, aged sites with an existing backlink profile that isn't built up of low-power trash. And this vindicates what I've been trying to tell people for a long time: 90% of agency link builders agree that it will take at least 1-3 months to see results, if not up to 6 months or even 12 months.

The idea that you'll see results immediately or in less than a month is quickly becoming unrealistic. Does it still happen? Yes, I know it does, but not at any rate you should expect it. In fact, only 10% still expect it. We tend to see the results kick in at the same percentage as people voted above. And I know the newcomers hate hearing "you have to give it time", but that's the reality. And it does happen.

Google wants it to take forever so you can't connect the results of your efforts to your specific efforts. They don't want you to know if it was an algorithm update, Links on Fire, Joe Schmoe's Social Bookmark Extravaganza, or the fact that you tweaked your title tag. They smear everything across time to confuse us. But knowing this in advance, we can still get all the data points we need to make informed decisions. It just requires patience and strategy.

What makes a link topically relevant?
Relevance is a core part of what Links on Fire offers. So what makes a link relevant? Here's what the agency peeps say:

b97BFNU.png

​
Of the 6 possible answers, Links on Fire ticks off 4 of these every single time, 5 much of the time, and 6 some times. I'll differ with the agency people here some because I think at times they see so many links per campaign that they don't really know what's what. They have to make assumptions and then they share those assumptions to the masses and screw everyone's heads up.

Google is a page-level algorithm first and foremost. They don't rank sites. They rank pages based on their relevancy and intent-match to a query/topic. The idea that you need to have a topic-to-topic match on a domain simply isn't true. And you can see the agency people coping and trying to convince their clients who think that that it'd be okay to at least get a link from the right sub-folder or category on a bigger site.

This is one of those "it feels good" things, but feeling good doesn't mean it's more effective. Page relevancy matters and you can dial in the hyper-relevancy on that page. That's what we do, and it works. And here's some more evidence:

Recent Results​

First I'll show you a couple recent wins that climbed about as far as they're going to go for these specific domains (meaning the competition above is simply too high and the client domain needs more power in general before the page itself can climb higher), and then I'll show you a fantastic win but another "pussyfooting around" kind of order where we could have slammed it home if allowed.

With all the local map packs and other crap Google is throwing in the SERPs these days, you may as well not exist if you're sitting at #7. At #3 you're in the game and getting leads and closing them and depositing checks. We actually helped this crew reach top 3, 2, and 1, across many regions in their area since they have offices scattered about. They went from twiddling their thumbs to being one of the major players in town.

This is one of those keywords where you're like "damn, why didn't I think of that?" The relative competition is low, and this leaves an entire CENSORED up for grabs. I had to delete a whole chunk of text because I was saying too much! I just get excited about good keyword research. Combine that with great link building and it's a match made in heaven.

These guys did what they should. They started building out their product and the bottom of their funnel where the conversions happen. And now it's time to start growing the middle and top of the funnel, which is when they tagged us in. A little coaching on what topics make sense and a couple links and kapow!

The problem? Their domain isn't that strong yet, and we were only able to build 2 links (albeit 2 badass links with perfect relevance). This was enough to push them to the front page, but as we all know that's where the competition really starts to ramp up. Will we be tasked with finishing her off? We're on the case already!

Quick Review

Brand new domain with citations & social profiles as foundation links.
Ordered 1 x DR50+ link from Ryuzaki and got a DR58 link on a very legit site from him.
Waited 2 months to allow settling.
Results? That single link was enough to get me to #1 for my main keyword.
I was surprised as I was planning to order more. What a way to save money!
 
Hey, everyone. Been meaning to check in with ya. We've been staying so busy here at Links on Fire that by the time the long work day is over it takes every ounce of will power I can muster to get a little exercise in! Here's a quick look at what's been going on...

Over-Deliveries​

Our clients are awesome, and many of them are here from Builder Society. The reason it's not all of them is because you guys have been gracious enough to create some word of mouth. You BuSo players are fantastic and we always strive to give back as much as we can in the form of over-deliveries. Here's a sampling of some recent ones.

OrderedDeliveredRD'sLinks

There's more but it'll have to wait till next time! Thank you all, seriously. You're keeping us stressfully busy, and we see that as a good thing. We like to ride the razor's edge. It's where we thrive and get sh*t done.

My Recent Site Sale​

This is one of those situations where you can laugh at me and know I'm laughing at myself too, so it's all good. I had been kicking the idea around of selling off a site because I was just "done" with it and it and I didn't want to push any more content on it. But I knew I was going to sell so I started getting high off my own supply and firing some Links on Fire at critical pages on the site to gain some SERP positions.

These were already in the top 5, you know, so any gains would be massive since we're talking about high 6 figure search volumes.

One of the things I always stress (and showed in the State of Link Building Report above) is that it can take 6 months and even a year to see the effects of your link building campaigns. I'd say several months is typical, but it's not atypical to see it take 6 months+ because Google often does offline calculations and then bursts the effects onto the scene all at once.

Well, that's what ended up happening after I sunk some serious money into a big link campaign for my site. I bet the buyers are happy because the traffic popped off a couple months after I sold it:

IFTqIZH.png

I'd say say they just got a 75% equity boost, meaning I could have walked with $180k or so had I just waited for Google to roll out the next batch of link data. Oh well! That's the gamble of holding vs. selling. Everyone takes a risk and I'm glad it panned out for the buyers (lucky bastards!)

Recent Results​

First I'll show you a couple recent wins that climbed about as far as they're going to go for these specific domains (meaning the competition above is simply too high and the client domain needs more power in general before the page itself can climb higher), and then I'll show you a fantastic win but another "pussyfooting around" kind of order where we could have slammed it home if allowed.

There's a thing that wealthy people (not just rich, but wealthy) like to do. They do it to take the whole family, post pictures all over social media, and generally just flex on everyone. You don't need an astronomical search volume to make a big buck off of these leads. Going from position 4 to 2 easily doubled their traffic if not more when you think about the long-tails climbing, too. This is our millionth campaign for this king because he knows how well this works, and once you've got the cash flowing, you're hurting your growth by not shoveling a portion of it back into the backlink engine that's driving the whole operation. Don't forget about content, too, because you need something to aim links at!

Look at the Keyword Difficulty and volume on this bad boy. It's no walk in the park, but we slammed it from the bottom of page 1 straight into position 1. This is so adjacent to gambling and betting that all the webmasters kept telling us it is that, and we had to cough up the surcharges, but it was worth it. Every single outbound link on this page is an affiliate link, and they're going to be catching some whales. I can't even fathom the ROI on this campaign. I'm looking at Ahrefs right now and it says "Top ranking result: your client's URL" with a traffic value of $14,000 per month". Hot damn!

I always like to end with a tale as old as time... You didn't let us release the dogs of war! Never tip-toe and pussyfoot around! Look what we were able to do to a KD 74 keyword with a 5-pack. Look at the CPC cost for ads... $10 per click. This keyword is worth some money, but you better be able to scale on your side because it is time intensive. Anyways, from not even on the playing field to the middle of page 1 means that revenue is going to start flowing and I hope they let us load up the munitions again. We're locked and loaded and awaiting command.

A Couple Client Reviews:​

Don't take my word for it! Here's a couple past reviews (you can read every review thus far here in one post) from those we're grateful took the time to share their experiences.

Henry says:
"These links pay for themselves. You spend your whole SEO career to find vendors like this - ones that you can actually trust to have your best interests in mind. Ryu proves himself to be a tier above the rest. These links fuckin slap. Your rankings will look like they did when you first learned about PBNs and exact match anchors back in 2008. Not even kidding, the very first link I got from Ryuzaki took me from the middle of page 2 to a top 5 slot, then eventually to #1... It paid for itself again and again. Paid for itself is a gross understatement. I have 3 more links being placed now, and I'll be ordering buckets more."​

stackcash says:
"Ryuzaki and I have been doing some legit work together for the better part of the past decade. My trust in his services and skill sets is so high at this point, that I find it emotionally uncomfortable to use anyone else. I know, when I work with Ryuzaki, that I don't have to worry. He understands what I need and he makes sure it gets done correctly. On top of my personal trust for him, Ryuzaki also knows his shit. The dude walks the talk. I have intimate knowledge of his personal projects and I can see his success first hand. That's why it was a no-brainer for me to go in on his new link service. The simple fact that he points these to his own properties is all I needed to hear."​

We're not far off from the holiday season, everyone! Whatever you plan on doing, the time to start was yesterday. I'm back with some results, some dunce FAQ's, and other tidbits worth mentioning below:

Over-Deliveries​

We never stop with the over-deliveries. Our inventory gives us all kinds of wiggle room to hook you up with the best links we can find in it. Sometimes this means we can stretch your budget further and really hook it up for you. Here's some examples since last time:

OrderedDeliveredRD'sLinks
DR60+DR714.7K23.3K
DR40+DR6124.2K523.9K
DR50+DR687.9K124.3K
DR50+DR635.47K73.5K
DR50+DR696.58K91.2K

That's all I'm going to type. You guys get the point by now (and I've sworn to quit moaning about building these tables in these posts!)... We do our best to get you the most out of your business with us. Thank you for choosing Links on Fire.

-------​

Dunce FAQs​

Yes, I'm calling it that. I'm over it, because I don't need the very infrequent headache, no matter how rare. It just annoys me to no end when it happens. I'm a nice enough guy. I invite everyone and anyone to contact me without hesitation, but I do ask that you at least read the opening post of the thread before asking me to rehash what is already answered. I have a full blown FAQ section in the 2nd post as well you can read here.

I know I've made this kind of post before but I guess it's time again.

I want to share a set of questions (some extremely dumb) that I've gotten over the years that are already answered. They're answered in this thread before you think about ordering, they're answered when you email me asking me them again, I answer them again when you get your report, and I'm answering them here again.

To be clear, I'm trying to address the rare but real people who ask me a million questions then disappear. I'm addressing the people that have me send them the same invoice 4 times across 6 months for one Link & Boost and never pay it. I'm addressing the people who expect a miracle with one Link & Boost. And I'm addressing the people who have their heads bolted on sideways. I love 98% of you guys. It's a pleasure working with you. It's these 2% of doofuses eating up 50% of my time with nonsense.

At the end of the day, I've done all I can to set expectations. Let this be another attempt, because I want to be very clear, honest, and as transparent about what we offer here. I've said it before and I'll say it again: We care about long-term results, period. We care about making you long-term money. Nothing else goes into our calculations.

My goal here is to give the serious people a chuckle and let you laugh at me, imagining how I swing between frustration versus my brain breaking at the absurdity of it all.

1) Can you rank my DR15 site for this KD68 word with one link & boost?​

No. We suggest two links & boosts as the bare minimum order unless it's a test order. Your 6 month old DR15 site isn't qualified to rank for a KD68 keyword when the top 10 is filled with DR80+ sites. No amount of links will get that done, and especially not one, no matter how awesome our boosts are.

2) I just read your thread & am super excited. Can you tell me your prices?​

Yes, I can screenshot the pricing table that you just read in the opening post of this thread and paste it to you so you can read it again. I can't tell you how many times I get this question. Here, I'll do it again:

aRu6MPS.png

​
But I have to tell you, your excitement and eagerness makes me concerned. It's on the same spectrum as anxiety and fear. It tells me you have unrealistic expectations and want to dive in neck first without understanding what you're ordering. Please slow down and make sure you're thinking clearly and strategically.
​

3) It's obvious to me that this site has sold other links before?​

How in God's name do you think we got you a link there? By magic? By hacking? You just bought a link on a site and are upset that they sold it to you? Of course they sold a link. We outreached to them and asked them if they'd sell us link placements for our clients, like we told you. What did you think was going on? If a link is available to you to purchase, it's available to others, too. These webmasters only say yes if they're willing to say yes. This is link buying, not link begging. We work at scale and don't have time for all that. Results don't wait.

The site has a high DR score, works with our boosts, has tons of indexed content, has plenty of traffic, and you got the results you were looking for. What's the problem?​

4) Don't you think this site is kind of ugly and poorly written?​

I'm not sure why you sat there and read it, but you caused me to do the same and then compare it to your own URL we linked to and I have to say... their content is better than your obviously ESL ½¢ per word content. And what's wrong with the design? They installed a theme just like you did, at least they don't have broken shortcodes in their sidebar like yours.

The site has a high DR score, works with our boosts, has tons of indexed content, has plenty of traffic, and you got the results you were looking for. What's the problem?​

5) I know I got results but... this site is monetized. Don't you think Google will discount links on monetized sites?​

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy. Every site online is either monetized or begging for donations. Have you ever Googled anything and then clicked any of the results that popped up? Did you notice how they're monetized and how they're ranking and everything is fine?

The site has a high DR score, works with our boosts, has tons of indexed content, has plenty of traffic, and you got the results you were looking for. What's the problem?​

6) I'm angry? This site was obviously built on an expired domain?​

So? Hell yeah, I say. 10 years ago they had the sense to buy an aged domain with killer links and use it to rank a bunch of content. Anybody who's anybody in SEO is doing the same thing. I'm doing it on all my sites and making bookoo bucks. This is pretty much standard procedure. You should be doing it, too.

The site has a high DR score, works with our boosts, has tons of indexed content, has plenty of traffic, and you got the results you were looking for. What's the problem?​

7) I know I got results but another link seller told me that this link won't work at all & I should use theirs instead?​

Please do. They're not at all incentivized to tell you that and to try to use fear-mongering to convince you that your results aren't real and that they came from somewhere else coincidentally exactly when and where the results should have arisen thanks to our work. I'm also a coincidence theorist. Good call. And thanks for sharing part of our inventory with our competitors!

The site has a high DR score, works with our boosts, has tons of indexed content, has plenty of traffic, and you got the results you were looking for. What's the problem?​

8) I've gotten similar links for $150, but not these kind of results. Why did I pay you $400?​

Because you're conveniently forgetting (and/or sometimes purposefully pretending) that we aren't building you the bomb-ass 5 tier Boost that we promised you. Everyone gets focused on the "main link placements" as I call them, but forget that this is really all about the Boosts (it's my fault due to the marketing). Did you not notice how I told you it'd take us about 2 weeks to build out your boost and then in about 3 weeks your rankings started going way up in a way those other links never managed to pull off?

-------​

Who Should NOT Consider Working With Links on Fire:​

If any of the following describe you, please find someone else to work with:
  • The unexperienced, newbie SEO who knows nothing and needs 10 hours of consulting
  • The lazy SEO who wants me to become familiarized with their entire site & content base
  • The anxious SEO who can't sleep at night because everything might go wrong
  • The nearly bankrupt SEO who's ready to blame their next provider for their failures
  • The make-it-or-break-it SEO on his last leg looking for somebody to save him
  • The excitable SEO ready to over-stretch their budget because my copy is dat crack
  • The nervous agency SEO who wants me to tip toe around their clients unreasonable demands
  • The emotionally-attached SEO who is too precious about their baby to get results
  • The need-for-control SEO who wants way more than their links & results
  • The reactionary SEO who thinks the sky is always falling and constant change is the answer
Who we ARE looking to build relationships with are mature SEO with mature mindsets and mature businesses and websites. We want to work with those that understand how Google works, are capable of making their own decisions while taking our input, understand that SEO is a long-term game, and know how to stay the course. And preferably, they have experience with link-building and have realistic expectations... those who don't build up a false reality in their heads about us, themselves, or Google.

-------​

Recent Results​

Before I say anything else, I want to reiterate how many times in this thread I've shown results that just didn't quite make it. Why does that happen?
  • The client didn't allow us to use enough Links & Boosts to take it all the way home (we can always go for a round two)
  • We told you that your site's backlink profile wasn't qualified to rank for that term and you said you wanted to go for it anyways (sweet, I like the cut of your jib)
  • Your on-page SEO wasn't up to snuff, there's something whacked out about your site in terms of technical SEO (see the Kitchen Sink Method)
  • Google pushed an update that hurt your entire site during the midst of our work
So on and so forth. I'm not here to pretend that every single campaign ends with rainbows, fireworks, and cupcakes. It doesn't always work out, which is something experienced SEO's understand. I can't be any more open and honest than that. I'm not showing you fake graphs where ranks go from position #90 straight to #1. I've shown plenty of failures if you go back through the thread. It's a real possibility. It is the nature of the game and the nature of fighting a blackbox algorithm.

Okay. I got all that out of the way. I just need some people to get their heads on straight. I've never sought to mislead anyone, but some people mislead themselves.

This is one of those items where most people probably don't realize they exist but they're inside of things inside our homes, businesses, factories... It's a component piece of a technical puzzle with low search volume but high order volume, with contracts in place. Get the rankings and get the contracts. That's the name of the game. Happy times for this company.

This is our ideal result. I didn't even need to put arrows and labels on the graph. You can see where the main link placement kicked in and bumped them up to 9 and then when the boosts started getting crawled and then kaboom. I'm making a note to watch this one and update it later to see how it fares. To be fair it'll probably bounce from spot 1 around in the top 3 if my spidey-sense is accurate. That's still a hell of a result.

A Couple Client Reviews:​

Don't take my word for it! Here's a couple past reviews (you can read every review thus far here in one post) from those we're grateful took the time to share their experiences.

stymie says:
"One of our main keywords was sitting at #5, with 3 "Best of" sites in the top 3 and one of our competitors right in front of us at #4. Our main goal was to regain the #4 spot. We ordered one DR60+ and received an unexpected overdelivery, and the article was super relevant. It has been about 2 weeks since it went live, and we are currently sitting at #3 before the Boosts. These links are the real deal, and Ryu's customer service is extraordinary as well."​

Poplanu says:
"Ryuzaki went above and beyond in delivering the service. Ryu reviewed my page and link profile, over-delivered on DR on a hyper-relevant article with a natural-looking anchor text. He manually reviewed my site – and suggested an easy tweak that fixed a minor lazy-loading issue that I had. Turnaround time was less than 2 weeks. Everything was transparent, fast, and professional."​

Why, hello there, everybody. It's been over a month since I've graced this thread with another post, but I'm back! We got to work on some exciting things last month and I want to show some of that to you, plus another interesting anomaly. But first...

Over-Deliveries​

As always, our thank you to you is to always try to give you more than we promised. We're the "extra mile" guys every time it's possible, because we appreciate you and want to see everyone succeed in huge ways. Here's a few examples of how that went down since last month:

OrderedDeliveredRD'sLinks
DR60+DR7010.2K77.4K
DR60+DR765.2K30K
DR60+DR7526.7K261K
DR60+DR7617.9K1.5M
DR60+DR701.9K20.5K

Thank you again for putting your trust in Links on Fire and our mode of operation. We will do our best for you every time.

Recent Results​

All of this below is for one part of a massive project we were privileged to be a part of. I've stressed so many times that we can't do miracles. Your site has to be qualified to rank for the keywords you're targeting. You need an existing and solid backlink profile to get the most out of what we offer.

We were able to work on a massive site last month for some massive keywords. A brand new page was published and we landed all the main link placements very soon after. The Boosts are completed but are still only trickling in more results. Here's what that ended up looking like...

-----

~ 3 Letter Niche DOMINATED ~

4DffElF.png


17,000 Volume / KD 74
$0.80 Adwords CPC
10 DR60+ Links & Boosts
Position N/A to 5 to 1 &2​

The post indexed and a handful of days later we nailed it with 10 DR60+ (and DR70+ over-deliveries) and got all that indexed with the starting process of our Boosts. The page crawled it's way to #1 and has bounced between #1, 2, & 3 since. This is a Keyword Difficulty of 74 with 17k volume!

I'm not trying to say that Links on Fire is fully responsible for this ranking. It's a combination of our links being the only ones aimed at the page and the domain being absolutely massive and powerful, with a DR score so high I can't even tell you because it'll narrow things down too much.

-----

~ Same Page Crushing It ~

lXYZCDx.png


41,000 Volume / KD 73
$0.80 Adwords CPC
10 DR60+ Links & Boosts
Position N/A to 1​

This is the same page for another keyword... this time 41k volume with a KD of 73. It indexed for this keyword after we'd landed a solid half of our main link placements, right at #1. It quivered a little bit there but then stuck the landing at #1. This is what Links on Fire can do when your site is qualified to rank and you aren't getting ahead of your skis.

-----

~ Total Destruction ~

8sIu7SQ.png

I feel sorry for everyone else who all had to drop one organic spot down as soon as we came out of the gates swinging. Above is a list of just some of the keywords that this page is now ON THE MAP for. I don't mean "close, maybe next time". All of these are page 1 with KD scores above 60 and nearly 80. We're proud to have been a part of this campaign. Do note that the volumes here don't match what they say when you search the keywords individually. Blame Ahrefs. I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you here.

You think this single page (which is a "best ____" type of page, all about high ticket price sales) is making some money right now?

​
It's crushing it and still gaining day after day as it ages and as Google crawls more and more of our Boosts. Where she stops, nobody knows!

-----
​
So above ^ is what the perfect scenario looks like. A mind-blowingly powerful domain is brought to us with a new page about to go live, and we get to work on the anchor text profile and backlink profile exclusively. Even though the keywords are in the "insane" level of difficult, the site was more than qualified to rank.

But what about the opposite here below v ? What about when someone brings us a DR9 (yes, nine!) site and wants to rank for a KD2 (yes, two!) keyword, which they're still questionably un-qualified for, for a page with zero backlinks?

Technically one DR50+ Link & Boost should get the job done, but these incredibly weak sites always give weird results. We're up front about it. This is often a gamble. Well, this gentleman said "let's give it a try". Here's what happened:

-----

~ The Slow Climb Anomaly (7 Months!) ~

s3vUMf0.png


100 Volume / KD 2
$0.90 Adwords CPC
1 DR50+ Links & Boosts
Position 70 to 1 (took 7 months!)​

I just checked to make sure... We're still the only backlink to the page. It hasn't even collected any spam links yet. Like I was saying, "technically, by the math of it all" 1 DR50+ Link & Boost should have finished this off. But the young sites never react like you think they should.

We landed the link, built the Boost, and waited. A couple months went by before it popped up to the mid-50's and stayed there for a while. We chalked it up to a loss and advised the site owner to start building out their backlink profile to respectable levels (which they did, they're DR19 now which may have helped get past some trust filters).

Around June 23rd (it seems, there was an unannounced update) things popped to page 2 and slow climbed it's way right on up to #1 where it remains.

The "math" is usually right, as long as you've got the rest of your operation together. You need a respectable amount of content published on the topic, you need an existing backlink profile that doesn't suck (and that looks like it can come later!), and you need to be qualified for the keyword. It's that simple. And as we can see, once those variables fell into place for this site (AFTER we built the link even!), the "math" worked out and the page ran its way right up to #1, it's rightful place on the throne thanks to our Link & Boost.

I wanted to share this one because it illustrates so much. It shows simultaneously how bad campaigns are doomed from the start, and how good campaigns can crush it. This started bad and they got their act together and now it's good. It's beautiful.

It also shows what I shared a few posts back about the time tables for SEO campaigns these days. You can expect things to take up to 6 months and even 12 months. Of course, if all the variables are put together well we can see immediate results still, and more often usually around 2-3 months.

A Couple Client Reviews:​

Don't take my word for it! Here's a couple more past reviews (you can read every review thus far here in one post) from those we're grateful took the time to share their experiences.

DD1 says:
"You know Ryuzaki's thorough, detailed, focused. Dude's basically putting the same energy towards YOUR site. In short, they treated my site as if it were their own. THAT's a rare trait. There was a 33% over-delivery, not counting their time invested in analysis. Both my pages were hovering 2nd-4th when I placed my order. Now, one of the pages ranks #1, the other #2. As for what matters, my profits are 163% higher so far month-to-month and I still have 11 days left including Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and so on."​

CashCowAdv says:
"Ryuzaki didn't even ask me to leave a review but I am because his customer service alone is worth the $. Yes, the links are great however I'm highlighting his customer service and lessons you can receive from Ryuzaki that truly makes his service impeccable. I even offered him $300/hr for consulting me and he respectfully refused and still expended his time to chat w/ me about my site."​

Review

Ordered my second link with Ryu and got confirmation the other day. Quite possibly the best anchor text crafting I have seen on the first link and the second was perfectly chosen based on my unique request to craft it in a certain way. We all know Ryu comes across as detail oriented in his responses here on the forum and his work doesn't disappoint. Amazing quality link on a clean site with DR 67 for my second order and DR60 for the first a while back. Really pleased. Thanks again!
 
Hey @Ryuzaki, would you recommend getting these links for a starter site (a month old) or wait a bit to get some organic traffic flowing? Thank you.

We have done many sustained campaigns for brand new sites that ran over a year or more and pumped them up to ~DR40 or so. The problem with going off the DR score is that our boosts are invisible to Ahrefs (and Moz, Majestic, and the like) so it'll never tell the full story, where a majority of the juice is coming from the boosts.

My opinion on the matter is that if you know the end result of your project will be that it's a giant site and you'll need these kind of links eventually, then by all means, if your budget can manage it. To say that in another way, this is an expensive way to start out a site.

If you're having to be more budget conscious, there are cheaper ways to build up some authority, traffic, and revenue first so the site can then more easily afford these kind of links. And that relates to what this offering was designed to do.

This was designed to take pages on authoritative sites that are already qualified to rank for the keywords they're targeting (as evidenced by the fact that they're already on the first page or second page and have traffic and an existing backlink profile) and push those rankings up higher, perhaps right into the pocket.

In order of what I'd recommend, from most recommended to least:
  1. Use these for ranking keywords on aged, authoritative sites that need the final push. These sites are mature, aged, have great backlink profiles, are trusted, and so forth.
  2. Use these for new pages that may not be ranking yet on sites as described above.
  3. Use these on brand new sites.
You will NOT get the kind of results displayed in this thread if you aim these at a brand new site. Will they help establish a backlink profile and push some juice to you to get you started? Yes, but they won't produce a miracle or shortcut the algorithm.

The equation is Links on Fire + Your Site + Google = Success. If your site is lacking (because it's new or otherwise) then the equation breaks down. And of course, it should always be stated that with anything in SEO, it doesn't always pan out because Google is almost always changing the algorithm, which can cause delays or untimely effects to your site, etc.

I recommend viewing these and all link campaigns as long-term investments and not immediate-time-frame miracle producers, though that's what it's designed to do and usually does more often than not on sites that are like #1 and #2 in the list above.

For sites like #3, everything is a long-term investment.

My man, this is such an honest and extensive answer. Thank you so much. It's a new site (basically no traffic, but I'm writing like crazy), and I'm not looking for traffic overnight, but something to build it over time. I will definitely use your service when the site grows more.
 
Hello again. I'm glad to see we all survived the string of holidays and that nobody (here on BuSo anyways) let that be an excuse to slack off. Let me update you with what's been going on.

Lately we've caked up our clients with some massive wins and some easy wins, too. Let me walk you through some of them.

-----

~ The Big Leagues ~

f4b8uPl.png


485,000 Volume / KD 97
$0.20 Adwords CPC
10 DR60+ Links & Boosts
Position 24 to 10​

I love this graph. You may be thinking, "So what? Rank #10? Big deal." And I would tend to agree if this wasn't a Keyword Difficulty 97 level of competition (almost the hardest possible) with just under half a million search volume per month. These guys went from being in outer orbit in deep space to landing right in the middle of the baseball diamond, suited up with gloves and bats, ready to rumble.

-----

~ Similar Action ~

pTnvocb.png


1,500 Volume / KD 28
$0.45 Adwords CPC
3 DR50+ Links & Boosts
Position N/A to 5 to 11​

For a newer website that has a great build and a bit of a backlink profile already, we took a brand new sub-domain, landed it on the map at #37, and climbed it up to as high as #5 and bouncing around the bottom of the front page ultimately. Not bad for a few links & boosts! Now they can start getting some traffic and conversions and tweak their processes with real user interaction and feedback.

-----

~ Low Volume / High Value ~

9yBv2mp.png


1,800 Volume / KD 32
$1.90 Adwords CPC
3 DR60+ Links & Boosts
Position 6 to 1 & 2​

This keyword has serious buying intent built in. It promises the world and can deliver to a degree, and the users are wishful thinkers ready to pay for a shortcut. There's nothing dishonest going on here, it's just the way it is. My point is that the traffic increase from #6 to #1 & #2 is monumental with such high conversions and conversion value. It's a beautiful thang!

-----

~ Easy Display Ad Money ~

SmbRuuJ.png


1,700 Volume / KD 7
$5.00 Adwords CPC
5 DR50+ Links & Boosts
Position 9 to 2​

Look at that KD 7 and the CPC... $5.00 per click! This keyword is worth some money to the site owner who's got display ads running. The same companies paying $5 a click on Google are paying high amounts to run campaigns through other networks too... Cha-Ching! Easy peezy.

MrMedia says:
"Never one to start small I ordered 25 links and told Ryu where to point them. Out of my 25 DR40+ links, they were able to over-deliver on 20 of them. 9 of them by over 10 DR points, 7 by over 20 DR points, and 3 by over 30 DR points! The best are DR74, 71, and 76. I ended up getting upgraded to guest posts for probably 2/3rds of these posts for free."​

LinkPlate says:
"In my opinion, these are the best natural, contextual links you can buy. They are also the cheapest when compared to the value you get, since you are trusting an expert and don't have to worry about micromanaging him or providing every single detail. The value added here is immense. Ryuzaki goes above and beyond in communication, delivery, and quality! I regret not ordering earlier."​

It's about that time to pop in and let all the newcomers know where the real fire power is at. We've been staying slammed, and I would say at capacity but we don't know what that means. All we know is expansion to accommodate a growing base of killers that don't take no for an answer.

Over-Deliveries​

As we have since our launch here on BuSo, we always try to give more than we receive, because this is a two-way street. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and we never lose sight of that. The way we can give back here is to over-deliver by bumping you up to the next tier of DR range. Here's some of the ways that's been done since my last update:

OrderedDeliveredRD'sLinks
DR50+DR6011.8K50.9K
DR40+DR552.9K51.1K
DR50+DR652K5.4K

Recent Results​

With the March 2023 Core Update rolling out as I type this, I'll wait until that's done before I share how we fared through that. In the meantime, here's a few results I've had sitting on my desktop in screenshot form waiting on me to have time to drop them here:

-----

~ YMYL Big Money Lead Gen ~

Tvdq7F4.png


1,000 Volume / KD 42
$9.00 Adwords CPC
6 DR50+ Links & Boosts
Position 11 to 4​

As always, the better the web page you bring us, the better the results you get. These guys have their game on point and are capable of ranking in this heavy YMYL niche that demands killer EEAT. It's a KD42 term after all. Because they had their game together and were already hovering at the top 10, we were able to pop them nearly straight up to #4. That's pretty much zero traffic on the top of page 2 to some hot ass leads above the fold on page 1.

-----

~ Local YMYL Rich People Stuff ~

nh5SKvx.png


700 Volume / KD 52
$7.00 Adwords CPC
8 DR50+ Links & Boosts
Position 4 to 1​

This is for a local business in a capital city of a big state, who caters to the very wealthy with a very expensive offer. As good as #4 is (We've worked on this site before and got it locked in around positions 4 to 6), we were tapped to drive it home, and that we did. We were given a bit of a bigger budget to push it to #1 and that's where it's landing. There's a little dancing, but I'd rather dance between #1 & #3 than #4 & #6. This is all about EEAT at this point and this company has it, which is why they're even qualified to compete for a KD52 keyword.

-----

~ Low Cost / High Volume ~

GnLPPjt.png


1,000 Volume / KD 20
$0.30 Adwords CPC
4 DR60+ Links & Boosts
Position 5 to 2​

This is one of those offers where it costs so little that whoever gets the exposure gets the sale. Everyone's offering the same thing, so it's a competition for visibility. We went ahead and probably tripled their traffic at least by pushing them from #5 to #2. It was nothing crazy. A nice and simple campaign with beautiful results.
