Not too long ago, my outreach company Authority Builders ran a contest in The Lab’s Facebook group.
To be entered into a drawing for 5 free guest posts, you simply had to respond to this question:
What is your favorite SEO Technique in 2018?
A few hundred people replied, so I thought it would be fun to display that data in infographic format.

Props to Tommy at SerpLogic for whippin this bad boy up. Nicely done.
Hi all,
Just wondering, because I am vision impaired ‘t see/red the image, whether someone might have time to list the 9 top techniques? No need for an explanation – just the titles and I can Google for more info. Thanks.
Sure thing. Sorry about that, Dale.
1) PBN
2) Guest posts
3) Outreach
4) Quality content
5) On page optimization
6) Keyword research
7) Building authority
8) Tier 2 links
9) Skyscraper outreach
Hi Matt
I read in one of your articles that you sometimes boost Tier1 guest articles with Tier2 PBN links. As PBN links are pretty expensive I am wondering: Is it save to link from one PBN to several Tier1 guest articles?
Considering that each Tier1 guest article receives only one Tier2 PBN link.
So for example
PBN(1) –> guest-article(A)
PBN(1) –> guest-article(B)
PBN(2) –> guest-article(C)
PBN(2) –> guest-article(D)
You can, but that link juice is getting shared either way. Ultimately only 2 PBN links get through to your money site. Not 4.
1) I tried all but it’s not sure if it can beat the actualy domainating domain.
2) There is no good source for PBN (Tried from few sites, link get deleted within a month)
3) Guest Posts : All want link back to their site, according to google if links got exchange you are dead.
4) Quality Content: I don’t know why, but i feel my content is super good quality and even i tested. Still, it’s not ranking. I can share the link if the post don’t get deleted.
If You are being requested to link back, it means you are reaching out to other SEOs in that niche. Try this tactic: Dont pitch guest posts to sites that have the usual “Write for us” or “Guest post” page. Instead pitch sites that dont.
Some examples of sites that have such pages are: Business sites in the niche( A travel agency’s website instead of travel blogs in the travel niche, a pet store’s site in the pet niche etc.) so a google search like following would help: intitle:”pet store”
Another way to find sites that dont have “write for us” page is picking a famous product/service in the niche and then googling- intitle: Product/service + “review”
Just scrape those sites and send them a pitch.
Good shit. As usually.
The Skyscraper Method looks interesting, Matt, If I did understand this correctly this method involve writing better, lengthy, comprehensive content on topics which are popular and create added value which other articles are missing.
Here you go.
Thanks, Matt, For sharing this informative article with us. Keep Updating us 🙂
Thank you for this posting, this is a great list of SEO techniques. I recently started a link campaign and need some guest posts, what is the best way to reach out to others blogs in my industry? And would it be best to have links in both the content of the article and the author section?
I absolutely don’t recommend getting links from author boxes. It’s a clear sign that you’re building your own links which is against Google terms. Use Authority Builders to have a pre-vetted list of guest post opportunities to chose from. No need for your own outreach either.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for posting this Article. I have Some questions.
1. Is Web 2.0 is dead? if someone can’t afford PBN network as it requires different hosting from different IP’s.
2.If not, Any article for web 2.0? and how to do it right?
Personally, I don’t see the ROI from Web 2.0 anymore. They’re not dead for everyone, but they’re pretty much dead for me.
