  26. Link Pyramid Backlinks SEO Pyramid Backlink For Google
    Inbound links to your site on a wide range of platforms.

    We use exclusively sources from where there will be zero complaints from the platform moderators!!!

    Link building in three stages

    Step 1 – Links to blog posts (Publishing an article on a subject with an anchor and non-anchored link)

    Stage 2 – Backlinks through redirection links of authoritative sites with authority score DR 9-10, for example

    Stage 3 – Submitting an entry on analyzer sites –

    Analysis platforms show the sitemap to the Google search engine, and this is crucial.

    Explanation for stage 3 – just the homepage of the website is submitted on the analysis tools; subsequent web pages cannot be placed.

    I carry out these 3 phases in order, in all there will be 10K-30K inbound links from three stages.

    This link building approach is the most powerful.

    I will send the link data on indexing platforms in a .txt file.

    List of SEO platforms 50 to 200 tools.

    Send a progress report via majestic, semrush , or ahrefs In case one of the tools has less links, I submit the report using the service with the highest number of backlinks because why wait for the lag?
