Episode notes
Hat Color Less Important Than Legality
- Alejandro argues hat color (white/black/gray) matters less than legality, ethics, and long-term results.
- He prioritizes tactics that work, are legal, and align with long-term brand sustainability.
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.
Get Editorial Guest Posts Right
- Pursue high-quality guest posts that read as true editorial content and live in visible sections of the site.
- Expect to sometimes pay publishers; prioritize placements that drive traffic and credibility.
