Link Building’s Tipping Point
The same shifts we’ve seen in query & content evaluation are coming to
links. What does it mean for SEO? And how can marketers react?
Slides:
Bit.ly/linktippoint
Where Link Evaluation
Algorithms Have Been…
PageRank
Source Diversity
Anchor Text
Trust Distance
Domain Authority
Location on Page
Spam Outlink Analysis
And Dozens More Individual Factors
Outlink Propensity

Nofollow vs. Follow
Links in Images
Link Density
Content Relevance

Trust Factors
Co-Citation
Content Duplication
Links within Tags
Geography of Host

Where We Believe
They’re Going Next…
From Reasonable Surfer to
All-Seeing Eye
Together we see all…
We know all…
There is no escape…
Google knows where
visit paths begin…
Where they
go next…
And where
they end up.
Their Goal is Searcher Satisfaction
Google’s Core Search team is
always asking the same question:
Are searchers satisfied with these
results?
How do they get the answer?...
Aggregate Behavioral Data
Do searchers, on average, click the
results we rank highly more than the
results we rank lower?
Aggregate Behavioral Data
35% of clicks
19% of clicks
11% of clicks
All Good!
Do many searchers click on nothing at
all, and instead change their query, or
choose a “related search?”
Aggregate Behavioral Data
If it’s these, maybe we show more
results for commercial &
manufacturing equipment up front.
Do searchers, on average, “short-click”
some results, while “long-clicking”
others?
Aggregate Behavioral Data
If clicks on Probake.com results in a
quick return to the SERPs
While the NYTimes.com piece gets
high engagement w/ few bounces…
Google might swap their rankings
Not Sure You Should Believe Me?
Here’s Google Ranking Engineer Paul Haahr:
Via Paul Haahr
Machine and Deep-Learning Models
Sites & pages that
satisfy searchers
Sites & pages that
don’t satisfy
searchers
Sites & pages that
link to these good
resources
Sites & pages that
link to these poor
resources
ML model to identify
traits highly
predictive of good
vs. bad links
ML Models Can Apply to Spam, Too
Editorial, high value,
search-quality-team,
hand-reviewed links
Links that point to good
stuff, but are
manipulative, sketchy,
paid, or coerced
ML model to identify
traits highly
predictive of good
vs. bad links
Domain Reputation & Author Authority
Based on what
Techcrunch links to &
its own link attributes,
Google may vary the
ranking equity passed
by its outlinks
Domain Reputation & Author Authority
But, Google might assign
different weight to articles in
different subsections, or
different authors.
e.g. Samuel Scott’s links
may deserve to pass value
“Anonymous executive”…
not so much.

Buy-In on Experimentation
Via PointBlankSEO and Allie Brown
Link tactics like an
event photo gallery
might work, but it also
might fall flat. Link
building needs room to
try and fail.
The Right Expectations Regarding
Time-to-ROI
Via WB Friday
A Balance Between Long-Term
Investments & Short-Term Hacks
High upfront costs Pay (in time/$$) as you go
Long-Term Investments
Slow to show ROI
Earn links while you sleep
Non-existent Spam Risk
Can Show Fast ROI
Effort In = Links Out
Can Have Spam Risk
Short-Term Hacks
Long-Term Link
Strategies that Work5
The Community/UGC Path
@randfish
Enable a platform where a community earns value
by contributing content, products, ideas, reviews,
submissions, etc.
How Does It Work?
Invest in amplification of the contributions
Nudge your contributors to drive the links
1

This is Yelp
It’s TripAdvisor
It’s Etsy
It’s Medium
It’s Dribbble
It’s Memeorandum
It’s ProductHunt
It’s Ravelry
It’s ForexFactory
The Press & Media Path
@randfish
Focus on people, a product, an industry, or a
problem that naturally attracts press interest
How Does It Work?
Leverage the fundamentals of fame, controversy,
storytelling, etc. to amplify
Associate your narrative with the keywords most
important to your search traffic
1

This is Tesla
It’s Warby Parker
It’s Dollar Shave Club
It’s Uber
It’s Goldie Blox
It’s Simple
It’s Glowforge
The Embed Path
@randfish
Create a platform (media, commerce, etc) or
product (tools, graphics, forms, etc) that works via
installation on 3rd-party websites
How Does It Work?
Build the initial audience that uses your embed and
helps it to reach broad adoption
Leverage the embed’s format to earn the right links
to the right places
1

This is Slideshare
It’s Vimeo
It’s Typeform
It’s RottenTomatoes
It’s Walkscore
It’s TradingView
The Partnership/Alliance Path
@randfish
Find an audience for your service that forms links
alongside the partnership/relationship
How Does It Work?
Craft a common structure for the ask or nudge you use in
the partnership (in the contract, with a suggested style,
logo use, citation requirements, etc.)
Vary link destination & anchor text over time & across
partners to give boosts where you need them
1

This is ReturnPath
It’s FullContact
It’s Trulia
It’s Box
It’s Sendgrid
It’s Otis Elevators
The Content Marketing Path
@randfish
Publish content that has high chances of earning
natural links & citations from others
How Does It Work?
Market your content through channels that reach
the audiences most likely to link
Grow a scalable process for amplification to
continue attracting new potential link sources

This is Eater
It’s Master of Malt
It’s Wordstream
It’s Collectors Weekly
It’s Politifact
It’s GrooveHQ
It’s Polygon
It’s KPCB
Why Isn’t Manual Link
Acquisition Strategic?
@randfish
Find places to get links (competitors’ link profiles,
directories, broken links, et al)
How Does It Work?
Figure out ways to acquire each link
Move on to the next potential source on the list
1

Manual Links Don’t Scale w/ Decreasing
Friction
Directory Links
Broken Links
1:1 Email Link Outreach
Guest Post Links
Profile Account Links
Same Work Required
Day 3 as Day 300
These 5 Strategies Do:
Community/UGC Path
Press & Media Path
Embed Path
Partnership/Alliance Path
Content Marketing Path
Over time, less work
yields more links

Moz is a Business Built on Content
Dollar Shave Club

& Media Flywheel
Via NYTimes
Dribbble was Built on a UGC/Community
Flywheel
But… Almost Every Flywheel Finds
a Point (or Points) of Friction
Publish
Content
Promote via
Social Channels
Push to email +
RSS subscribers
Crap… We’re not reaching anyone
who will link/amplify us 
Link Building Growth Hacks
Can Accelerate a Flywheel
Hacks aren’t necessarily evil, spammy,
or without value.
They can be highly useful when applied
to a sound link strategy.
10 of My Favorite Hacks
@randfish
#1: Republishing
Take an existing
piece of content
Re-create a part or
the whole
Create additional traffic, reach,
and/or rankings
X
Xa
Xb
Xc
3X
Medium is a great cheat-code for this:
Via Medium
The built in network, the ability to
use rel=canonical (and/or link to
the original post), and the domain’s
ranking ability make it a sweet
republishing platform.
More Republishing Tips & Tactics
in this Webinar:
Via Mozinar
#2: Guest Contributions
Via LitHub
The best guest posting advice I’ve ever read
A Tactical Tip for Guest Contributions:
The language you use in
these queries matters
“submit post”
“guest blog”
“guest post”
Often Sketchy Usually Solid
“share your story”
“write for *”
“guest author”
#3: Local Links
Geography can be a big
link opportunity… But it
can be a process to find
potential sources. Try
this:
Let’s say you’re Ace
Spirits, just off Main
Street in Hopkins, MN
Step 1: Find the two
most popular, similar
businesses in your
region.
We’ll skip chains,
since Ace is a
single-store, and go
with Surdyk’s and
Zipps (they have the
most reviews)
Step 2: Use a combined query for
those businesses plus the region
Boom! A link opportunity.
And another one.
And another!
It goes on like this for page after page
We can repeat this with combinations of
all the other competitors, too
PSA: Be cautious visiting online liquor stores
late at night while building slide decks…
I’ve become a
cautionary tale…
But, then I got this note from the owner

#4: Small Site/Content Acquisitions
Likely a very inexpensive purchase that
adds lots of high-relevance visitors
Via OSE &
Similarweb ProMore details about this tactic in my blog post
#5: Be Someone Else’s Press
Via Peach and RetailWorks
#6: Bio Links
Anchor links on my bio led to rankings for
G’s blog, as the bio was republished
#7: Resource Lists (& Directories)
Once again, language
structure matters
“directory”
“submit link”
“add your site”
“add url”
Often Sketchy Usually Solid
“resource list”
“recommended sites”
“inurl:resources”
“KW + websites”
#8a: Testimonials
You don’t have to wait to
be asked. If there’s a
product, service, or
company you love, email
the founders or folks on
marketing and offer an
unsolicited testimonial.
Via Buzzstream Discovery
#8b: Case Studies
If you’re up for a heavier
commitment, offering to be
a vendor’s case study is
another strong path
Via Bynder
#9: Brand, Image, & Content Reclamation
If you have content (particularly logos,
brand names, or visuals) that have
widespread use, ID’ing pages with
them that don’t link back can be an
easy, powerful link grabVia Vertical Measures (who does, BTW, link back)
For visuals, my
best results come
from “search
Google for image”
(e.g. 200+ vs. 5 in
G Images & 7 in
Tinyeye)
Using FWE, you can run
queries for unlinked
mentions, like this
Better yet, set up an alert
so you get notified as
they happen
Via FreshWebExplorer
#10: Orthogonal Alignments
Your website
& business
Social Causes
Geographic
Connections
Network
Connections
Artistic
Intersections
Accessibility
Programs
Founder
Attributes
Technology
Applications
Employee
Programs
Sponsorship
or Support
Artistic Intersections
There are literally thousands of
web design galleries focusing
on various aspects – mobile,
web, responsive, use of CSS,
use of JS, etc.
Via BestWeb &
MediaQueri.es
Social Causes
Where your businesses values
overlap with causes (e.g. Moz &
Women in Tech), there’s great
opportunity to support visibly &
earn link value
Via GSBA &
50/50 Pledge
Sponsorship / Support
If you host events, sponsor groups,
help charities, etc, links are often a
nice byproductVia StartupGrind & Ronald
McDonald House
My Final Advice:
Align Your Strategy to Where
Google & Users Are Going.
Ask: Do your links mimic how people
might find you without search?
The NYTimes writing a feature
about pasta machines might be a
strong starting point for
restauranteurs & chefs in need
Via NYTimes
Ask: Are your link sources pointing to
content searchers find valuable?
By its very nature, sites like Hacker
News (despite the nofollows) indicate
a degree of value provided to the
audience by the links (and rankings
tend to follow)
Via YCombinator
Ask: Will your link profile pass Google’s
machine-learning smell test?
Think of learning models like savvy
SEOs manually reviewing your link
profile by hand. If they think “this all
looks legit,” you’re probably in good
shape. If not…
Via OSE
If your strategy fails to align, you
may have a long-term issue w/
Google’s evolving link algorithms.
Link building is far from dead.
Links are still critical to rank.
The best marketers will combine
long-term strategy & short term
hacks to win the SERPs.

Link Building's Tipping Point

  • 1. Rand Fishkin, Wizard of Moz | @randfish | rand@moz.com Link Building’s Tipping Point The same shifts we’ve seen in query & content evaluation are coming to links. What does it mean for SEO? And how can marketers react?
  • 11. And Dozens More Individual Factors Outlink Propensity Rate of Link Acquisition Nofollow vs. Follow Links in Images Link Density Content Relevance Website Relevance Trust Factors Co-Citation Content Duplication Links within Tags Geography of Host Surrounding Text Surrounding Text
  • 12. Where We Believe They’re Going Next…
  • 13. From Reasonable Surfer to All-Seeing Eye Together we see all… We know all… There is no escape…
  • 14. Google knows where visit paths begin… Where they go next… And where they end up.
  • 15. Their Goal is Searcher Satisfaction
  • 16. Google’s Core Search team is always asking the same question: Are searchers satisfied with these results? How do they get the answer?... Aggregate Behavioral Data
  • 17. Do searchers, on average, click the results we rank highly more than the results we rank lower? Aggregate Behavioral Data 35% of clicks 19% of clicks 11% of clicks All Good!
  • 18. Do many searchers click on nothing at all, and instead change their query, or choose a “related search?” Aggregate Behavioral Data If it’s these, maybe we show more results for commercial & manufacturing equipment up front.
  • 19. Do searchers, on average, “short-click” some results, while “long-clicking” others? Aggregate Behavioral Data If clicks on Probake.com results in a quick return to the SERPs While the NYTimes.com piece gets high engagement w/ few bounces… Google might swap their rankings
  • 20. Not Sure You Should Believe Me? Here’s Google Ranking Engineer Paul Haahr: Via Paul Haahr
  • 21. Machine and Deep-Learning Models Sites & pages that satisfy searchers Sites & pages that don’t satisfy searchers Sites & pages that link to these good resources Sites & pages that link to these poor resources ML model to identify traits highly predictive of good vs. bad links
  • 22. ML Models Can Apply to Spam, Too Editorial, high value, search-quality-team, hand-reviewed links Links that point to good stuff, but are manipulative, sketchy, paid, or coerced ML model to identify traits highly predictive of good vs. bad links
  • 23. Domain Reputation & Author Authority Based on what Techcrunch links to & its own link attributes, Google may vary the ranking equity passed by its outlinks
  • 24. Domain Reputation & Author Authority But, Google might assign different weight to articles in different subsections, or different authors. e.g. Samuel Scott’s links may deserve to pass value “Anonymous executive”… not so much.
  • 25. Google’s Transforming Itself into a Company Built Around Learning Models Via Backchannel
  • 26. To Build a Sustainable Link Strategy for the Future, Every Marketer Needs…
  • 29. This is my kinda website! A) Mustachio’d mascot B) Pasta-centric C) Solid reviews
  • 30. LineaPasta’s Long-Term Link Strategy Rank in search for key terms and earn direct traffic from linking endorsements Apply a product- centric link strategy. Use our partnerships & endorsements by chefs, restaurants, & media to earn links. Outreach to current partners, sales mentions to restaurant buyers, leverage founder’s contacts w/ chefs, PR w/ media 1. Links from our partners 2. Links & mentions from media/press 3. Rankings for key terms 4. Search visits Link Goals Strategic Approach Tactical Initiatives KPI Metrics
  • 32. Buy-In on Experimentation Via PointBlankSEO and Allie Brown Link tactics like an event photo gallery might work, but it also might fall flat. Link building needs room to try and fail.
  • 33. The Right Expectations Regarding Time-to-ROI Via WB Friday
  • 34. A Balance Between Long-Term Investments & Short-Term Hacks High upfront costs Pay (in time/$$) as you go Long-Term Investments Slow to show ROI Earn links while you sleep Non-existent Spam Risk Can Show Fast ROI Effort In = Links Out Can Have Spam Risk Short-Term Hacks
  • 37. Enable a platform where a community earns value by contributing content, products, ideas, reviews, submissions, etc. How Does It Work? Invest in amplification of the contributions Nudge your contributors to drive the links 1 2 3
  • 47. The Press & Media Path @randfish
  • 48. Focus on people, a product, an industry, or a problem that naturally attracts press interest How Does It Work? Leverage the fundamentals of fame, controversy, storytelling, etc. to amplify Associate your narrative with the keywords most important to your search traffic 1 2 3
  • 57. Create a platform (media, commerce, etc) or product (tools, graphics, forms, etc) that works via installation on 3rd-party websites How Does It Work? Build the initial audience that uses your embed and helps it to reach broad adoption Leverage the embed’s format to earn the right links to the right places 1 2 3
  • 65. Find an audience for your service that forms links alongside the partnership/relationship How Does It Work? Craft a common structure for the ask or nudge you use in the partnership (in the contract, with a suggested style, logo use, citation requirements, etc.) Vary link destination & anchor text over time & across partners to give boosts where you need them 1 2 3
  • 72. The Content Marketing Path @randfish
  • 73. Publish content that has high chances of earning natural links & citations from others How Does It Work? Market your content through channels that reach the audiences most likely to link Grow a scalable process for amplification to continue attracting new potential link sources 1 2 3
  • 82. Why Isn’t Manual Link Acquisition Strategic? @randfish
  • 83. Find places to get links (competitors’ link profiles, directories, broken links, et al) How Does It Work? Figure out ways to acquire each link Move on to the next potential source on the list 1 2 3
  • 84. Manual Links Don’t Scale w/ Decreasing Friction Directory Links Broken Links 1:1 Email Link Outreach Guest Post Links Profile Account Links Same Work Required Day 3 as Day 300
  • 85. These 5 Strategies Do: Community/UGC Path Press & Media Path Embed Path Partnership/Alliance Path Content Marketing Path Over time, less work yields more links
  • 86. Great Link Builders Focus on Their Flywheel
  • 87. Moz’s Flywheel KW Research + Industry Intuition Publish Content Promote via Social Channels Push to email + RSS subscribers Earn Links + Amplification Grow social, email, RSS, & WoM channels Grow Domain Authority Earn Search & Referral Traffic Rank for More Competitive KWs
  • 88. KW Research + Industry Intuition Publish Content Promote via Social Channels Push to email + RSS subscribers Earn Links + Amplification Grow social, email, RSS, & WoM channels Grow Domain Authority Earn Search & Referral Traffic Rank for More Competitive KWs In 2006, I was lucky if new content led to any links or rankings at all
  • 89. KW Research + Industry Intuition Publish Content Promote via Social Channels Push to email + RSS subscribers Earn Links + Amplification Grow social, email, RSS, & WoM channels Grow Domain Authority Earn Search & Referral Traffic Rank for More Competitive KWs But, by 2016, nearly every post earns a handful of links, & some earn a lot!
  • 90. Moz is a Business Built on Content
  • 91. Dollar Shave Club was Built on a Press & Media Flywheel Via NYTimes
  • 92. Dribbble was Built on a UGC/Community Flywheel
  • 93. But… Almost Every Flywheel Finds a Point (or Points) of Friction Publish Content Promote via Social Channels Push to email + RSS subscribers Crap… We’re not reaching anyone who will link/amplify us 
  • 94. Link Building Growth Hacks Can Accelerate a Flywheel
  • 95. Hacks aren’t necessarily evil, spammy, or without value. They can be highly useful when applied to a sound link strategy.
  • 96. 10 of My Favorite Hacks @randfish
  • 97. #1: Republishing Take an existing piece of content Re-create a part or the whole Create additional traffic, reach, and/or rankings X Xa Xb Xc 3X
  • 98. Medium is a great cheat-code for this: Via Medium The built in network, the ability to use rel=canonical (and/or link to the original post), and the domain’s ranking ability make it a sweet republishing platform.
  • 99. More Republishing Tips & Tactics in this Webinar: Via Mozinar
  • 100. #2: Guest Contributions Via LitHub The best guest posting advice I’ve ever read
  • 101. A Tactical Tip for Guest Contributions: The language you use in these queries matters “submit post” “guest blog” “guest post” Often Sketchy Usually Solid “share your story” “write for *” “guest author”
  • 102. #3: Local Links Geography can be a big link opportunity… But it can be a process to find potential sources. Try this: Let’s say you’re Ace Spirits, just off Main Street in Hopkins, MN
  • 103. Step 1: Find the two most popular, similar businesses in your region. We’ll skip chains, since Ace is a single-store, and go with Surdyk’s and Zipps (they have the most reviews)
  • 104. Step 2: Use a combined query for those businesses plus the region Boom! A link opportunity. And another one. And another! It goes on like this for page after page We can repeat this with combinations of all the other competitors, too
