Absolutely. Even with the recent Google algo leak confirms that links still matter.

I find that 1-hour sprints followed by 10 minute breaks work for me. Some have longer or shorter focus blocks.

Start with these 3 blogs: - Moz - Ahrefs - Semrush The resources you'll find here will help you go through the basics of SEO.

2-3 worked best for me. Going to create an experiment around #4 Yes I do track domain ratings but I also check historical traffic stats to make sure that the metric is legit

Hello @daniellollopik_djd - I can potentially help you but can you tell me more about your business to see if we're a fit?

Any specific area of link building you need help with? @chenx552?

When building backlinks, you have to tie it with specific objectives for your websites. Looking to build the authority of your startup website? Guest posts, directory listings and resource pages are they way to go. Need to push your product pages to the top of the search? Strategic partnerships and mining top competitor links will do the trick. Need to drive relevant traffic to your...

Semrush, Moz, and Ahrefs are great resources when you're starting out in SEO. It's also important to apply these learnings either through a personal website or a friend's. You can learn so much more through application. Best of luck!

I worked with a brand that lost almost 80% of its traffic since it stopped building links to their pages. After building a 5-10 high-quality backlinks per month, we started to see some traction and slowly regained traffic overtime - it's still a work in progress since we haven't recovered 100% So yes. backlinks will still be important for SEO in 2024.

Unfortunately, that's a common link building strategy for websites. There are a few legitimate sites out there where you can build a partnership and work beyond just exchanging links. But you have to sift through a ton of spam which is quite unfortunate.

I saw a recent case study on Linkedin where they tried to steal the traffic of their competitors by creating AI-generated article. It did give them a boost in traffic, but declined harshly after that. Putting a human element in your articles will certainly help. Especially if the human facilitating the article has some experience in the topic, which helps with your E-E-A-T score.

If you want to see how well your competitor pages are performing. SEMRush and Ahrefs will be your best bet. Both have their own pros and cons. Ex. SEMRush has better data in keyword research while Ahrefs can provide better reports gauging the best backlinks of your competitors. At the end of the day, there's no perfect tool so utilize their free trials and go with something that suits you.

Congratulations on your launch! I'm planning to build in public soon so this might be the right time for me to try the tool! Can't wait!

Congratulations on the launch and best of luck to the team! 🚀🚀🚀

Let's chat, maybe we can work something out :)

For SEO material I highly recommend: Ahrefs, Semrush. For very niche specific resources - Kevin Indig's blog provides some great insights!

I also highly recommend prioritizing technical SEO over everything.
