Backlink Strategy that Works & Gets First-Page Rankings Every Time

Backlink Strategy that Works & Gets First-Page Rankings Every Time

 

Welcome to the final part in this series on how to make money with a WordPress blog.

Yes, that’s right, this is the final part in this training series…

If you’ve been following & implementing it along the way, then give yourself a pat on the back.

We’ve covered a lot ground and if you’ve kept up, you’ve done extremely well 🙂

So What Will we be Covering in The Final Module in This Training Series?

Well if you remember, in the last module, I showed you how to find & buy quality PBN backlinks.

That, and using my keyword research method, will get you ranked for any keyword you want.

However, we’re not done with backlinks just yet…

In this final module, I’ll be sharing my most powerful backlinking method to date.

When you put this backlinking strategy into action, expect a huge jump in the search results.

And not only that, you only need one, maybe two of these backlinks as well.

…Yes, these backlinks are really that powerful.

So if you’re looking for a powerful backlink strategy that works, you’ve found it.

Now a Quick Heads up Before I Share This Powerful Backlink Strategy that Works Really Well with You…

Like I said, you only need one or two of these type of backlinks but no more.

Google’s fine if you do this once or twice because it looks completely natural.

If, however, you go overboard with this backlinking tactic, Google may not approve of it.

I’m not saying Google will ban or penalise your site, but better save than sorry, right.

Really, when it comes to backlinking, you want to use my PBN training 90% of the time.

Then only use this backlinking technique when you want to get a huge jump in the SERP

Oh, One More Thing…

We covered some of these steps in a previous module.

So if some of it looks familiar, don’t worry, you’re not treading old ground…

We just need to copy the first few steps from this module as those steps are the same here too.

Then we’ll be going into brand new methods you’ve never seen before.

So stick with it, it’s definitely worth it.

Anyway, with that said, lets begin…

Here’s the powerful backlink strategy that works and deliver huge results every time.

However, if you prefer reading, then here’s the writtern version of this training…

Step 1. How to Find High Authority Expired Domains using Free Methods

The first thing we need to do is to head over to the Expired Domains site:

https://expireddomains.net

Once you’ve created your free account, then click on the “Column Manager” tab.

Then click on the other “Column Manager” tab, then open “Majestic General” dropdown menu.

Now tick the following boxes:

• • CF – Majestic Citation Flow
  • TF – Majestic Trust Flow
  • TR – Majestic Trust Ratio (CF/TF)

Once you’ve done that, then click the “Save Changes” then “Deleted Domains”.

Now this should bring up all the domains that have desirable SEO metrics.

However, We’re Not Done Yet…

What we need to do now is to drill down further to find even more targeted domains.

To do this, click on “Show Filter”.

Now starting with the “Majestic” tab, put “10” for the “Trust Flow” value.

This will remove thousands of lower authority domains, making our job a lot easier.

Next up, we then go to the “Additional” tab:

From there, head to the “Original gTLDs” box and tick the following:

• • com
  • net
  • org
  • biz
  • info

Once you’ve done that, we then head to the “Common” tab.

The first thing you do here is to tick the “Only Available Domains” box:

Head to the “Domain Name Whitelist” box & enter a keyword in the “Contains” box:

Now there’s a few things to keep in mind when entering your keyword…

First up, it should be related to your market, obviously.

Secondly, it should be a broad & commonly used word to describe your market.

For example, if you’re going into weight loss market, use these keywords:

• • Weight
  • Fat
  • Diet
  • Health
  • Slim

Going too long-tail or niche specific will eliminate too many domains, you see.

So keep them as single word keywords that are commonly used in your market.

Also, do not enter multiple keywords at once – just use one at a time.

Once you’ve done that, then press “Apply Filter” to confirm the changes.

ExpiredDomains.net will then bring up all the domains fitting our criteria.

Starting with the “Health” keyword, you can see it brought up 4 domains:

What we do then is download the file by clicking on the “CSV” symbol:

Now what we need to do is to find out the domain authority of each domain.

To do this, you can use a free online domain authority bulk checker.

This is the one I use myself:

https://www.prepostseo.com/domain-authority-checker

You can check up to 25 domains for their domain authority at any one time.

If this one isn’t available for whatever reason, then don’t worry…

There’s literally hundreds of these domain authority checkers online.

Just Google the following phrases to find these sites:

• • Bulk domain authority checker
  • Mass domain authority checker
  • Free domain authority checker

…Or something similar

What we do now is paste in up to 25 domains then click “Check Authority” button.

Once it’s scanned the domains, the only stat we care about is the “DA” criteria:

Everything else like PA, Spam Score etc can be ignored.

Now what we’re looking for is domains with a DA 20 or better.

If you have any, save them to a document like Notepad with the DA rating next to it.

If you see any domains below DA 20 but you really like them, feel free to save them too.

Once you’ve exhausted that list, click “Show Filter” again & try another keyword:

Then simply rinse and repeat until you’ve build a decent list domains with a DA 20 or better

Still Can’t Find any Domains With DA 20 or Better?

If so, I recommend doing another search, but without keywords.

If you do this, this will give you literally hundreds of domains to work with.

So now you’re probably wondering…

Will Domains Not Related to my Niche Have a Negative SEO Affect?

Let me put it this way…

I’ve took domains from one market and placed them in unrelated markets dozens of times.

The outcome?

They’ve always performed just as well as domains related to the same market.

So no, there’s no repercussions taking niche specific domains & using them in another market.

The only reason why I recommend using keywords is because of an aesthetics issue.

As in, it can look a little more pleasing to the eye, initially.

But apart from that, it’ll make no difference compared to using a niche specific domain.

The most important thing here is getting a domain with the highest DA as possible.

Because like I said before…

The higher the domain authority, the quicker, easier and higher you will rank for your keywords.

So if you want a backlink strategy that works like wonders, high domain authority is key.

Step 2: Checking The History of The Domain for Spam

Right then, you’ve got a list of domains with a domain authority of 20 or better.

What we need to do now is to check the history of these domains.

We do this because we need to make sure they wasn’t abused by the previous owner.

So we don’t want any domains that have previously hosted the following:

• • G-@-m-b-1-i-n-g
  • P-0-r-n
  • V-i-@-g-r-@

…And anything else considered nefarious.

So How Do We Check The Domain’s History?

Easy, we use a free website called the Wayback Machine.

This site will allow us to check the entire history of these domains.

This way, we’ll be able to see whether they were abused or not.

So the first thing we need to do is head over to Wayback Machine:

https://archive.org/web/

Now paste in the first domain you’re interested in and press “Browse History”:

Then click on the earliest year Wayback Machine first started to index the domain.

So in the case of my domain, James-Scholes.com, it’s 2010:

Below the timeline, you’ll see a calendar.

Each dot represents every time Wayback Machine visited this domain:

You’ll notice in some cases, visits are marked with different colour & size dots.

Here’s what they mean:

• • Blue dots: just a standard visit.
  • Green dots: Wayback Machine was redirected to another URL.
  • Dot size: the bigger the dot, the more times it was indexed

The only one you need to be concerned about are the green dots…

When visiting these dots, make sure it doesn’t redirect you to a bad site.

If it does, then I would ditch the domain and move onto the next one.

Anyway, we then hover our mouse over one of the dots & click on the date to view the site:

This will show you what the site looked like on that particular day.

So What Exactly Are We Looking For?

Well like I said above, the red flags are:

• • G-@-m-b-1-i-n-g
  • P-0-r-n
  • V-i-@-g-r-@

If you see any of the above, then I would ditch the domain.

Another thing to look out for is Chinese/Japanese writing on these sites.

To be honest, I don’t know if this is a bad thing but I generally skip domains that have this.

Now I wouldn’t check every time Wayback Machine indexed the site.

Personally, I would only check the last one of each year.

If any red flags appear for a particular year, I would then check the rest for that year.

Checked The History of Your Domain & It Got The All Clear?

If so, then save that to a new document like Notepad with the DA rating next to it.

Then check the rest of your domains & filter all the good ones onto the same document.

That’s it for this step but keep in mind this is a very important part of the process.

If you want this Backlink strategy that works at its peak, you must be thorough when checking.

Otherwise, this method won’t work as well if you use a domain that was abused previously.

anyway, once you’ve done that, we’re now ready for the next step…

Step 3. Gathering all the Old Page URLs using Free Tools

The next step is to take your chosen domain & gather all the old page URLs.

We do because we need to direct all the old page URLs to the page you want to rank.

(Hence why this is an incredibly powerful backlink strategy that works well when done right)

Thankfully, this is easy to do as there’s multiple free services that will help us with this.

So with that said, here’s the free tools I recommend to find the old page URLs…

Moz Link Explorer

The first one I recommend is called Moz Link Explorer.

So head over to Moz and create a free account:

https://moz.com

Once you’ve created a free account, go to “Moz Pro” then “Link Explorer”:

Then paste in your chosen domain and press the “Analyse” button:

Moz will then bring up a load of SEO related metrics regarding that domain.

What you need to do is to head over to the side panel and click on “Top Pages”:

On this page, you can get all the page URLs that existed at one point for that domain.

So open up Notepad and paste in all the page URLs.

Make sure to get the page URLs with the highest Page Authority & links pointing to them.

This is because these page URLs will be the most beneficial when ranking your site.

If the domain hosted a big site at one point, you may not be able to get all the URLs.

One way around this is to keep rearranging the followings tabs in the “Top Pages” section:

• • PA (Page Authority)
  • Linking Domains
  • External Links

This will rearrange the order & Moz may show you additional URLs that didn’t appear before.

Another option is to simply sign up for Moz’s free 30 day subscription of Moz Pro.

When you do that, you can then get all the page URLs Moz Pro has found for that domain.

SEM Rush

Another option to help you find old page URLs is using another tool called SEM Rush.

So once again, head over to SEM Rush and create a free account:

https://www.semrush.com

Once you’ve created your free account, simply paste in the domain & press “Search”:

Then scroll down until you get to the “Indexed Pages” section & click “View full report”:

From there, you want to copy & paste all the page URLs into Notepad like you did with Moz.

Just like Moz, you can click the following tabs to see if SEMRush will reveal more page URLs:

• • Backlinks
  • Domains
  • Last Seen

What you need to do then is to make sure there’s no duplicates URLs in your Notepad.

You can either remove them manually or use a free online service like “Text Fixer”:

https://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-duplicate-lines.php

Once you’ve removed all the duplicate page URLs, then you’re ready for the next step…

Step 4. Buying your Chosen Domain

The next step is to simply buy your chosen domain.

If you’ve been following this training series, you should already be with a hosting provider.

However, if you’re new here and don’t know any domain registrar, then checkout D9 Hosting.

I’ve been with these guys for over a decade and they’re simply brilliant in my opinion.

It’s a top-notch service and their support is second to none too.

So if you want to use D9 Hosting, you can do so here:

https://D9hosting.com

Once you’ve registered your domain, then you’re ready for the next step…

Step 5. Setting up a Addon Domain in your Hosting

The next thing we need to do is to setup a addon domain.

To do this, we need to head to your Cpanel.

If you don’t know how to get to your Cpanel, then follow these instructions…

Starting in the D9 Client Area, hover over “Services” & click on “My Services”:

Then select the package you purchased from D9 Hosting:

Scroll down and on the left, you should see “Login to Cpanel”:

Simply click “Login to Cpanel” and this will take you to your Cpanel homepage.

Scroll down to to the “Domain” and click on “Addon Domains”:

All you need to do is to enter your domain into the “New Domain Name”.

Then click on “Subdomain” box and it’ll auto generate the rest for you:

All you do then is press “Add Domain” & you’ve setup a addon domain for your domain.

Once you’ve done that, then you’re ready for the next step…

Step 6. Redirecting all the Old Page URLs & Backlinks to your Site using Cpanel

The next thing we need to do is to redirect the domain & old page URLs.

Now before we redirect the domain & page URLs, you need to decide what you want to rank.

You can either redirect everything to your homepage or one of your inner pages.

It’s entirely up to you – just make sure to do your keyword research before deciding.

Once you’ve made your mind up, then we need to head back to Cpanel again.

Once in Cpanel, go to the “Domains” section & click the “Redirects” icon:

This will take you to the “Redirects” page where you can redirect the domain & page URLs.

Here’s how to set everything up correctly…

• • Type: select “Permanent (301)
  • https?://(www.)?: select the domain you want to redirect
  • /: add the extension of the old page URL here
  • Redirects to: where you want to redirect domain and old page URLs to
  • Wild Card Redirect: leave unticked

Once you’ve setup the first redirect, then press “Add”.

You would keep doing this until you’ve redirected the all the URLs & domain in your Notepad.

So What Happens Now?

What you’re doing here is redirecting all the backlinks to the page you want to rank in Google.

When you do this, you’re redirecting all the domain and page authority to that one page.

This will send a massive influx of links & authority that forces Google to rank your page higher.

And the higher the page & domain authority, the higher you’ll rank in the search results.

As you can imagine, this is a really powerful backlink strategy that works incredibly well.

So if you’re looking for a potent backlink strategy that works every time…

Then this backlinking method is probably the most potent method you can use in SEO.

Every site I’ve implemented this on has always seen huge gains in Google.

So I’m pretty sure when you put it into action, you’ll get equally awesome results too.

Anyway, with that said…
