This domain is 2 months old.
It has a better rating and more backlinks than all my sites in the first 2 years of building startups.
3 lessons:
1/ Get backlinks
- List your site for free on platforms like ProductHunt
- Email people for a backlink when relevant
- Purchase a directory of backlinks, like Backl(dot)io by @philkellr
2/ Set an affiliate program
Affiliates make money. You make money and get free backlinks.
I use @getRewardful for my program.
Note: your product must have a good conversion rate.
3/ Build your own backlink directory
Build free tools, link back to the main domain, launch & repeat.
Some tools will take off and get referenced in popular newsletters or sites.
Months later, you'll have built an ecosystem of high-ranked sites you can use to kickstart new projects.
Finally, be patient. SEO is a long-term game; results take 3-6 months to appear.
