INSIGHT

Hat Color Less Important Than Legality

  • He prioritizes tactics that work, are legal, and align with long-term brand sustainability.
ADVICE

Plan Using Tiers Of Links

  • Treat links to your site as tier one, links to pages that link to you as tier two, and so on when planning campaigns.
  • Use tiered structures cautiously and consider page rank and site context before applying them.
ADVICE

Get Editorial Guest Posts Right

  • Pursue high-quality guest posts that read as true editorial content and live in visible sections of the site.
