Grumpy SEO guy says to own blogs with authority so you can build your own backlinks

[NaturalNo8028]

I have a few very niche blogs, or aimed at broad topics with low interest (like anthropology, …). I don’t spend to much time on them, writing 1 article a week/fortnight. I also create pretty no backlinks. Time is enough to raise DA, with little work.

I suppose he is talking about PBNs.

I buy blogs on Flippa and the ilk. Most blogs are severely overpriced and underdeveloped with no authority.

But sometimes you find a gem. This is a slow game.

Otherwise, I just roll my own blogs and hope for the best.

If you make useful content, people will naturally link to it.

PR done well can help your web strategy; but low quality link buying will not help you in Google Search (but it may in Bing, lmao)

It’s not a new concept. It’s just building a private network. Something many of us have been doing for 20 years.

It would be worth more to make social media contacts, email contacts to acquire blogs attached to domains, focusing not on content farms but legit interest blogs

[Cultural-Rub7995]

People usually just build their own blogs over time.
Buying “authority blogs” exists, but it’s risky. Making your own sites and letting them age is the safer way.

Buy expired domains at auctions. You need to do your due diligence, but this is the method he teaches early on in his podcast.

# he’s grumpy.

out of jokes, he’s right, it’s SEO 101, but it was easy to do years ago. Nowadays, not so much unless you’re really good and have resources.

>that owning blogs with authority is a better way to go

He’s right

In a way it might sound like a great way to be rich is to get money and invest it.

But so is the advice “write great content and it will get free links” (even in jest)

You can also buy blogs from site owners that gave up or aren’t ranking as much and fisx them up
