    tiered link building, an analytical look

    been breaking down some data on tiered link strategies. T1 usually the high authority juice, T2 is the middle layer that's more about relevance and context, T3 the broad reach for volume. from what i see, the key is maintaining quality control at each level. no point in blowing a ton of T3 links...

    sweepstakes offer types - my skeptical take

    so here's the thing, sweepstakes offers come in a few flavors and everyone acts like one is king. i tested cpl, soi and doi over the last 6 months in a pretty competitive niche. the data tells the story: cpl usually hits a nice stable roi but only if you're doing volume. for me, it's like around...
