The Backlink Strategies That Actually Worked (and are scalable)

Today we are launching RankChase on PH and decided to share the startegy we are using to get backlinks: Our most effective backlinks came from connecting with quality websites in our industry. Here’s what actually moved the needle: Networking & Cross-Promotions: We’re in some WhatsApp groups with others in our industry, attend conferences, and connect with people via zoom when possible. Once you build these connections, cross-promotions, like blog posts, backlinks, or newsletter swaps, convert easily. Creating Listicles: This was a great find! We create listicles like “Top X Tools for [Task relevant to your niche]” without any links initially. Then, we reach out to the companies we’ve featured to let them know they’ve been included. We offer them the chance to secure a link in the listicle in exchange for a backlink to our site. By leading with the free article feature and then pitching the link exchange, we get a much higher response rate. This method consistently yields about a 12% conversion rate. For every 10 companies we reach out to, we secure one backlink exchange. And you don’t need to keep writing new listicles, just replace the companies that did not respond with new ones. Using apollo . io for Link Exchange Outreach: This involves finding niche sites with similar DR, building a list, importing it to Apollo to fetch the contacts, and setting up an email sequence to reach out automatically offering a simple collaboration and link exchange. Our success rate was about 3%, so 3 backlinks for every 100 sites (we send 50 emails a day). We use a free tool to bulk export lists of sites in the same niche and similar DR (i can share it in the comments). An Apollo subscription costs around 50$ month which makes each backlink quite cheap. Using RankChase : RankChase is a platform that matches you with quality websites in your niche with similar DR that are also looking for link exchanges. You add your site, and they send link exchange opportunities to your inbox with contact info. The success rate is around 50-60%. For every two matches, we generally get one backlink and you can get a few matches a week. RankChase is free to join but for 30$/mo you get 5x more matches so it is a great way to scale backlinks with little effort and for cheap.
