Link building, written by people who do it

Playbooks, vetting checklists and honest numbers from our own campaigns — no recycled "ultimate guides."

Everything below comes out of campaigns we run ourselves. We publish the vetting criteria we actually use, what placements cost in practice, and the tactics we have stopped using — because most of what is written about link building is written by people who have never had to defend a link to a client.
