• Avoid spammy blogs, link farms, mass directories, and paid networks

3. Monthly Targets
• 15–20 new referring domains per month
• 3–5 links from DA 50+
• Majority from DA 30–60
• All links must be contextual and topically relevant

4. Anchor Text Rules
• 70% branded or URL anchors
• 20% generic anchors
• 10% keyword-based anchors Natural link profiles are mandatory.

5. Content to Promote
• Core pillar pages (AI marketing, digital strategy, growth) • One strong thought-leadership or framework page Avoid thin or low-value content.

6. Outreach Guidelines

• One follow-up maximum

7. Tracking & Reporting

8. Success Criteria
