I spent $2500 on Backlinks - Is it worth it?? | Ep.4
I spent $2.5k on backlinks this month for the 4th update video of the build in public series for New.to
This time, we’re three and a half months in from the first Google index. We've made some significant strides with our website, including publishing our 'bars' and 'for-couples' pages. We've also finished individual restaurant pages, promising to flood Google with over 7K pages to index.
We dove into the deep end by spending $2.5k on backlinks, intending to give our new site a much-needed authority boost. How has it impacted us so far? We secured 14 backlinks, averaging around $180 per backlink.
The backlink services we used included Authority Builders ($700), FatJoe ($500), RhinoRank ($1k), and freelance link builder, Rik Snijverink from Upwork ($200).
Authority Builders' ABC service offers custom, high-quality links, while FatJoe delivered quality backlinks at affordable prices, providing a great ordering experience.
RhinoRank might be more expensive, but it's worth the cost with their high-quality blogger outreach and niche edits. Lastly, our freelancer, Rik, went above and beyond in the selection and creation of links.
So, what's next? While purchasing backlinks can provide a short-term boost, we’re focusing more on natural link strategies such as using HARO for high authority links and creating link bait for more organic growth. We aim to get some hyper-relevant links and slowly emerge from the sandbox.
