@offshoreleague @elonmusk needs to ban everyone who’s posts “breaking news” when it’s just rage bait and fake news.

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to become more extreme in my crypto beliefs.

@Charles_SEO Pure gold!!

[Charles Floate 📈 @Charles_SEO]

I've been building backlinks for 17 years, we'll sell over $4.5M of links this year and I have NEVER seen Google rewarding authority and quality link signals like they are right now... 🔗

With that being said, most SEO folks STILL buy links that do absolutely nothing, because Google neutralizes them.

Here is my EXACT SOP for picking links that will increase your rank, ROI and AI Visibility:

1 - Ignore Metrics, Do Your Due Dilligence.
They are EASILY manipulated, including organic traffic numbers inside Ahrefs & SEMRush.

Double check link profiles, and if the site doesn’t rank anything inside your niche, the link is a pillow, not power.

2 - Page-Level ROI Test
Before buying ANY link, ask:
"How much can this link make me?"

If I'm in an easily attributable niche with high ARPU, then I can budget links quite easily to target money/supporting pages based on price vs. return on increased rank.

3 - Anchor Safety = SERP Reality
99% of SEOs choose anchors based on what they want to rank for. Google ranks pages based on what the SERP is already rewarding.

If the top 10 are using:
- Brand/URL anchors → you use brand/URL
- Soft partials → you use soft partials
- UGC/Parasites dominating → you stay conservative as hell

Your anchor text should mimic the winning pattern (consensus), not fight it...

If competitors have ZERO direct links, then I don't recommend building any directly either unless you have an indiviual link with very strong relevancy and trust signals.

4 - Outbound Link Neighbourhood Check
If a site leaks outlinks to:
- Casinos ❌
- CBD ❌
- Crypto ❌
- Viagra ❌
…and you are NOT in those industries?

Your link is probably going to be devalued.

Google does track link neighbourhoods. If you sit next to trash, you smell like trash...

5 - Indexation & Editorial Health
If a site is:
- Bleeding indexation
- Losing keywords monthly
- Churn-publishing low-quality AI blogs
- Or has 500+ new posts and zero rankings…

That’s a sign the domain is flagged.
Every link you place there is born dying.
Power sites GROW.
Zombie sites DRAIN.

6 - Traffic Stability Over 6–18 Months
You don’t want a site that had traffic — you want a site that can KEEP traffic.
Check for:
- Smooth growth ✔
- Seasonal dips that make sense ✔
- No algo update cliffs ✔
- No sudden spikes from programmatic AI garbage ✔

Stability = Trust.
Trust compounds link power.

7 - Internal Link Inclusion (Massively Underrated)
A link from a page with ZERO supporting internals is a weak link.

A link from a page WITH:
→ Internal links from relevant articles
→ A parent topical hub
→ Strong navigational linking
…delivers 3–10× more power.

Context = Equity.

8 - Avoid Orphan Links at ALL Costs
If your paid link: Lives on a dead page

Has NO internal links going IN
Has NO internal links going OUT
Has NO social signals
Has NO backlinks

…it is effectively a nofollow link that you paid for!

Orphan pages = orphan signals.

9 - The AI Visibility Test
If you want to show up in AI Overviews, and model citations: Your links MUST sit inside authoritative context surrounded by semantic entities.

AI models pull from:
- High quality editorial pages ✔
- Topical clusters ✔
- Pages with structured data ✔
- Pages with strong author/entity signals ✔
- UGC authority sites ✔

When it comes to AI, the context around the link now matters more than the link itself.

When it comes to traditional SEO though, at the end of the day…

Most people don’t have a "link building problem"
They have a "link SELECTION problem"
Google isn’t rewarding more links...
Google is rewarding better signals!

If you fix what you build → you fix what you rank.

And link building and link buying is only growing!

That's it for this SOP! But if you want to be in with a chance of winning $250 of FREE backlinks from @PressWhizz , then just RT+LIKE+COMMENT on this post and I'll pick a random winner at the end of the week 🙌

Cracked the laptop open today, it’s been some time. Lost 6 figures in crypto. Had a website making $25k a month now down to zero. I’ve got scars. But time to get back on the horse.

Gavin Newsom's 2020 Thanksgiving guidelines:

- No more than 3 households present
- Parties no longer than 2 hours
- Guests must stay outside
- Avoid singing, shouting, chanting

We can never let Newsom become president.
