- Link building can be helpful for SEO, but we have found that it often causes more problems than benefit. Building quality content is a better use of most blogger's time.

You guys are one of the those few internet marketers on this planet who reveal their websites and show the real game happening at the back end. Hats off for both of you. I would love to meet you someday..👍👍
mark abdelmessih Watch the video again and focus, he explains how he got the backlinks 🙃
This is you opinion because you don't search deeply on internet
yes same
@@musclefactor4326 Your site takes longer to load from my smartphone!!!
@Musclefactor And after 1 year, your website is totally gone LOL
That's the first time, I have heard someone say "Let google do it's job !". Finally a channel that makes some sense . Keep up the great work guys!
Watching all different types of SEO and sem content over the past weeks has made my head spin, made my stomach churn, and make my heart ache.
This was a relief.
Appreciate the info, you guys are unique & I’ve learned a lot. Honestly, what I like the best about this channel is the vibe - you guys seem downright neighborly.
Almost like the dudes down at the local bike shop where I go to get my flat tires fixed - knowledgeable, funny, don’t-take-yourselves-too-seriously & just comfortable to be around.
BTW, don’t forget to enter me into the contest for the free website!
You guys are great, you gave me back hope for building websites. I was planning for so long to create a quality niche site and after a research with all kinds of SEO tools, keyword planners etc... I gave up because of bad results in keyword traffic, competition for a keyword, competition for backlinks... I was so disappointed, but after watching your videos I realize that the only thing it matters is content and some basic keyword research. Thanks for that and keep up the good work.
Really awesome content, learned my new no-backlink lesson here. You guys rock! I am an asian, don't get me wrong, just like everybody else on the internet marketing, I was trying my ass out in internet marketing. It is been about a year now, and i am still struggling here. I have watched MASSIVE amount of SEO videos, but only a few of them are actually providing helpful content. And you guys are definitely one of it, Great job! hope to see more videos from you guys!
"but only a few of them are actually providing helpful content." and funnily enough that is the secret to success lol
Spot on guys. I personally had a number of websites hit by a Google Algo update some years back and it cost me over 5 figures a month... was a big hit and changed my business forever..
Like many I didn't think I was doing the wrong thing. I still have a really good SEO team for building links but any page they build links to is already in a good position.
With some industries, let's say a local plumber, electrician, carpet cleaner it is ultra competitive hence we need to build links.
With internet marketing and creating niche sites I do believe this is where your principles are very clever and bloody awesome to say the least.
Thank you for the post.
Definitely a thumbs up from me.
Cheers...
These Guys are Honest and showing everything to us Otherwise No one reveals strategy, tricks.
I am a fan, Hats off to you :)
But their strategy/trick is that there are no strategy/tricks!
When I watch these guys, I feel so motivated but when I watch guys like Backlinko, Neil, Sam from Ahref....ahhh, so demotivating.
Backlink is a pain in the ass!
As a non-millennial (big understatement :) I really appreciate your plain talk straight forward sharing of the path to niche sites. Staying up and learning new stuff is solid on my list and this one intrigues me. As I figure out how to turn some decades of film production, photography, (earning a living), living aboard a sail boat, building stuff for all the above etc., into niche content I'm sure to be signing up. (and now I'll go sign up for the newsletter) ... :)
I found your videos while trying to find decent keyword generator tools. I had a neat one, pre-Panda, and was getting very frustrated looking for a free replacement when I stumbled on your articles. You gentlemen are awesome! You've just confirmed my belief that organic links are the best. Thanks for all the great information.
I have to say of all the "How to" videos I've seen and followed, it's nice to see a "forget about what you learned" video from folks who have been in the trenches! Thanks so much for a new perspective!
Keep up the good work guys and never change your style. You can tell both of you really like helping people. It's been a pleasure listening to you both talking about how to build niche sites. Keep making them videos and we all keep coming back for more.
Things done with passion always rocks no matter whatever niche. So is blogging.
Yea, right?! I am surprised that they recommand writing articles that are 3000 words long. I don't know about other site visitors, but me? When I am researching for a topic, I prefer articles that are short and concise, give me the info I am seeking quickly--I don't have the time to read a long article. If I see a looooong piece, I most likely leave and go for some shorter articles.
This is especially true for recipe sites. Just give me the recipe (ingredient list and cooking instructions), I don't care to read all that blah blah blah about the author's day in life how s/he came to creating this food item.
Whenever I lose hope, I come here, watch the video and go back to work!
I have been devouring the information on your youtube videos and am SO glad I found you ! Thank you for re-kindling my interest in building affiliate sites. I appreciate your insight and the valuable straight forward information you provide. As soon as I return from a short trip to Idaho this week, I will be signing up for the niche site school....can't wait !
Well this just turned everything I've learned up until now on its head
exactly what i thought. it's just incredible! i love it thought - much less work for me!
Yes it might seem that way, I would not rule out link building altogether in my opinion pending the niche however what they are saying to be safe is totally spot on in my opinion... I've been in SEO for over 14 years now and seen the big G change so much.
Probably because it's wrong. As an SEO professional, I think there's a few things worth noting:
First, They're showing their full traffic report in Google Analytics, not the numbers from search. Maybe that's just a rookie mistake on their end, but they don't seem like rookies so I'm not sure.
Second, if you drop their site into SEM rush, only one of the top 10 sites linking to them is a worthwhile link. All of the rest are blog submission links and spam links that any site would pick up over time.
If you want to rank a site that does nothing but get random Q&A traffic, you may not need to build links if you know how to do keyword research. However, if you want to build a website that actually makes you money, it's going to need some smart linkbuilding behind it.
Most of them are just spam links and aren't helpful for SEO, as noted in the comment above.
No worries, mark. If you want to see for yourself, just check semrush.com with the domain name and you'll see. I'm always a skeptic and like to dig deeper. Note my comments above as well. 👍
Certainly, the highest quality content regarding SEO that somebody can get on the Internet is your TH-cam Channel. You people rocks! I also built a website two years ago building not even a single backlink. And in 6 months it reached from 0 to 60,000 page views per day.
I like the honesty in your video and there is no fake promises ..and no fast tricks ..thats a high quality lesson.
Seems I'm late to this blog post but found it really helpful after trawling through hours of confusing and contradicting arguments. Thanks guys I have content to write but never realised how powerful it can be. Keep up the good work!
Love you guys! Amen to honesty, and just plain giving the customers what they want. Good business practice in any market.
I've treated my blog as fun for many years and I'm just now starting to really treat it like part of my business and you guys are just so clear and easy to understand I love it - thanks.
I have been reading your blog for a few months now and I got to say that it was your posts and videos that made me come back to old projects and see then with fresh eyes. I'm really excited to put all my experience as a digital marketing professional in my own stuff instead of other clients. After reading and seeing you I'm willing again to create awsome content, which was something I used to make for others but now I'm doing for my own niche websites. So... thank you and keep making posts and videos like this
I'm glad to hear it Samantha. You and other content creators out there are in a great position to create your own awesome niche websites! In the long run, the payoff will be passive and ongoing. It's hard to beat that!
I like these guys, they are real.. They didn't even pay me to say that.. lol... Seriously, they open up a new light to emarketing, content building, and the truth about generating revenue over time. The key words are "Over time"! Keep up the good informative work guys..
theyre good for people who are new to the market, but some of their advice is quite deceptive. Building backlinks is essential for scaling. They're just trying to get views.
You guys are the BOMB! It is so awesome for you to share all the tips and put it in such simple terms that we can all understand. You are Fantastic! Love you both!
I watch tutorial videos literally every night about niche sites, backlinking, SEO and more and I never leave comments. I have to leave a comment. I really actually enjoyed your videos. Fresh information and ideas. Very motivational and NOT boring for once. Great stuff guys you've got my subscription!
I just love how open and honest you are! I've always said that content is the golden nugget, as long as you place decent solid content down then google will find you and you will rank. You've earnt a new subscriber :)
You guys rock! I'm saving hard to join your Project 24. If it's anything like this it's going to be awesome!
Hey income school thank you all, my life is changed from poverty and I am on my way to financial freedom!
Great video guys and for those of you out there seeking a viable business model for 2018 and beyond...Here you go! I am a deep level SEO, but this is my business model moving forward. I've been headed this direction for several months after a friend introduced me to the simple idea and opened my eyes a bit. Now I've found the guys here at Income School which further convinces me that I'm on the right path to building a portfolio of income-producing web properties. . .
Dude! I stopped killing myself on backlinks after watching this. My traffic had dropped with the more work I put in. I can't explain it but this trick worked. My blog is back up in daily views. I'm almost back to my highest number thus far. Thank you so much!!!
Love's Deepwaters so you did what they talked about in this video and it worked?
James Wilkinson yes, there was definitely an increase when I stopped link building and a major drop when I started back
Cool! Thanks for sharing your feedback.
You guys Just awesome, I just subscribed when i get your frist video from random search.
I love the way you talk.... And just inspired to do a Niche Site Soon
Thanks.
You are both amazing! Such an inspiration for us all to shine. THANK YOU!
Love you guys! You make building a business not only doable but doable using a stress-free process. You are honest about the hard work required but knowing that I can succeed without worrying about all the various marketing strategies (so many others push) has made all the difference for me. Thank You!
I just found this channel and I‘m really enjoying it! Tips from other sources are often borderline immoral and spammy, bit your advice is just genuine and honest!
Very interesting. I always thought getting backlinks was a very long-winded thing to have to do, manually.
OMG I've been preaching this to the building industry for years and have been slammed by all the "web gurus" who claim to know what they're talking about. Small companies/entrepreneurs simply do not have time to play guessing games with Google - not to mention that the "content" created by those dummies is mostly clickbait crap. Write good content - make good clean sites and THEY WILL COME - And you won't have to think about it again.
Yea, may be those "web gurus" are so emphatic about ways to manipulate Google is because their content is mostly click bait, not genuinely helpful articles.
You do understand that some businesses like the idea of recurring revenue even at the expense of giving good advice (if good advice means you only get paid once).
I was so burnt out with the video world of backlinks, seos and so on and so on until I found your videos, they are "true down to earth" info., videos at their best. I can stop stressing out now and just build my sites.
Thanks a bunch now.
Wow guys! This is amazing! I'm going to start building a niche site every month following your strategy. I've tried in the past and haven't had much success. Thank you
Hey Guys ... I love that you stress the fundamentals and the sustainability that comes with that approach. Unfortunately, it took me over 4 years of tedious work & 1000's of hours to fully understand that concept. Thanks again for your insight.
Just wanna say I admire your perseverance. Most people woulda just given up. I'm in a similar boat, slaving away at this for a year now, failing most of the time, but I will not give up, no matter what, I'm staking my life on this until I get it right. Good luck, man
Good content... At least someone showed the name of his site that's currently making $$$ for him... If you are genuine in your approach then there is nothing to hide I guess... Cheers 😉
This is the video I needed. There are tons of videos with "Tips and tricks" most of which contradict each other. You guys are very authentic and honest. You've given me some serious motivation now!
Brilliant content on all the videos I have watched so far. I actually wrote a short book on keyword research quite a while ago which I had to remove from Amazon because a tool inside was discontinued. Anyways, I went into Google autosuggest in the book (as you spoke about in another vid) and why it is a good idea to use it. You guys have verified that information and then built on it. Good work fellas!
Nice to see an uncomplicated and straightforward approach for a change!
This really sounds good. Thank you. I never did like the idea of not spending endless time working on comments.
Just trying to get started with affiliate marketing. Currently in the middle of a "Income School" video marathon. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, keep them coming.
Still can't get over all the facts you are bringing to the table. You guys are truly awesome.
Haha so many people mislead into believing backlinks are the key to ranking.
But there was always people saying just create GOOD content. I think I will go with that.
Good content will only rank you so far. Competitive keywords 100% need active link building.
@@georgew1857 no you don't need backlinks fool just keep creating content!
@@johnatteo822 maybe for your random low competition keywords, but you aren't ranking for the big boy keywords without a lot of high quality backlinks from high authority websites. It's not even hard to get backlinks, you just need to email websites and ask how much you need to pay to post an article or insert a link on an existing relevant article. I've been doing SEO for 8 years, so maybe you are the fool.
@@georgew1857 listen bro, if you been doing this for 8 years why the hell you watching income school videos for a new website? Lol you must of needed so guidance. I get 650k page views a month on a cat niche website I'm with the big boys ranking all the big Boi keywords son!
@@johnatteo822 with link building or not??
Why the heck TH-cam recommended this video in 2019. I wish I had watched this years ago!
me to
I took this approach at the beginning of 2016 and I concur with this. Quality content rules Google! Great work guys.
Thanks, guys! You come into my life at just the right time. I'm disabled, so have been concentrating just on activities I can do to continue contributing to our finances while confined to a wheelchair. Have laptop and ready to learn! Will be signing up for the NicheSiteSchool within the hour. Thanks again so much.
I'm 15 and I just started my site about 2 months ago and in the beginning I spammed links all over the internet, I have thousands of low quality links now, when google finds me will my site be flagged and my traffic will never grow?
Love the information. Right now I'm on Day 34 of niche site school. Almost finished. Would love if I won the contest so I can add it to my portfolio.
I am on Day10..Good to know.
I am on day 7 ;)
You two always make excellent and straightforward content. I like how casual you are in your approach and that you seem really genuine. None of that self-proclaimed guru/wizard shit, just two guys sharing their methods from real life experiences. I have to say, I am quite tempted to try out your Niche Site School course. Would be cool if you made a video about how you determine what keywords to go after, you know, the steps you take etc. Cheers!
You guys make affiliate marketing sound so easy. Just purchased a course on this and I got really sad over the part where I learned that I have to do link building. The only thing I was ever good at was writing good, relevant and honest content. I don't really have the proper mindset for this link building mumbo jumbo, so I'm thrilled to know that I still stand a chance. Thank you for this. Subscribed to yor channel.
Don't need back links??? The reason your creating the content is to hopefully get more back links.
That's the point of this video. They put good content over working actively on generating backlinks, so that the backlinks come naturally/organically.
Hey guys I would love to win that niche website! Signed up for the newsletter :) I just checked out your knifeup website and it looks top quality. I was considering doing link building but I guess that is not the way forward. I really would LOVE that niche website guys!!!
Also subbed to your channel and liked the video.
Discovered your channel yesterday. Already hooked, because you are critical about supposed SEO trends AND you focus on niche sites! Much appreciated! Greetings from a web designer from The Netherlands!
You guys speak the truth, I had a good thing going in 2010 and a google algorithm update (2011 penguin I believe) hit me hard. I was so frustrated, I quit. I am hitting it again, attempting to grow organically.
guys your boune rate is 85% somehow your traffic quality is low, correct me if im wrong
Why not work your butt off to publish high quality content and work your butt off to build high quality backlinks?
If You Build It, They Will Come ^^
You guys have a really good vibe! I've been working on my site non-stop and needed this motivation boost, glad I found it!
I would really like it if you could make a video about the content itself and how you create a good article. English is not my first language so it's not easy for me to sit and write it all myself.
i love you guys. really helpful content.i just started my blog 3 months ago after bumping into your channel.hit some troubles but am not going to give up because of the inspiration i get from you guys.thanks a milli

Thanks
YOU ARE RIGHT!
everyone here is gonna be successful.
Thought it was just me doing this!
Don't tell everyone though, let them keep buying links from us :P
You are completely right, I was taught SEO years ahead of its future, and content is KING, ALL my ranking for clients is done through 100% quality content. And everyone gets #1 ranking in time and is almost unbeatable. I always say, you can get 100 backlinks and on another site get 100 quality content pages written, and in 5 years you might have 25% of those links still active, but for sure you will have 100% of that content still acting like gold for the company.
One of the most honest and transparent tech channel on TH-cam , thank you guys.. love your content
Watching this I guess i'm too focused on backlinking ;)
supervitallica i
Hi Guys, I dont often comment on content and i realise this has been up a while but I have to say, you nailed it. Really informative and different from many of the others! Keep up the good work and regards from the UK.
Yes Finally I found answer from Ricky and Jim. You both are different from the world. I was tired of listing... Make backlinks, comment etc.
This is a true example of a passive income without relying on backlinks and social media... Afterall, the internet is a source of information and at the end of the day, it is still the content that matters. The saying that "content is king" is exemplified by the actual niche sites cited here. Thank you so much.
this was awesome. As a "non-tech" person, I'm confused about building niche websites within the website....but the great takeaway is just do what I do best, provide well written/researched content. THANK YOU!
Very imressed by your honesty. Been watching your videos for 2h in a row now! Keep going and help people with sharing your valuable knowledge :)
Great content. You guys are the polar opposites of most everything else I'm seeing over and over again online. Thanks for the videos. Good stuff!
Jim! Ricky! I'm superhyped for all this to work! So much thinking - your mind can get pretty tired of finding the right niche... But whatever, we're all going to make it. Cheers from far Croatia ;)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have watched so many vids made by so-called 'SEO experts' that I now know what they say is 100% pure bollockology. Thank you for your guidance guys - my site is already benefiting from your advice! Take care, Emma x
So happy I stumbled onto you all! I have enjoyed watching many of your videos and have learned so much. Your videos are fun, simple, and sweet! Thank You!
Oh my a God, I am so glad I stumbled across you guys. I was making copious notes about keyword research and links. I have now deleted those notes and am making notes based on your advice. Lol love you two.
I appreciate your integrity in all the work that you do. Thanks for sharing from your experience.
Guys. I'm SO excited to have found you. I'll be signing up tomorrow morning. I can't wait. I want to win that website too. I'll go right now and sign up for your newsletter. Thanks SO much for doing this. You guys are Awesome!!!
You guys are the only one who share what is really happening back of their websites. Thumbs up for you guys
The information you guys provide is the best on TH-cam when it comes to niche sites and seo. Thanks for the help!
Title seemed a little crazy at first, but I think you may have swayed me. Going to watch your niche site model now to see what you guys are doing different from mine.
OMG I ♥️ you guys. Only discovered your channel last night. Been watching loads of your videos. Your advice is quality!!
Hi guys, great content , finally found a channel that knows what they’re talking about. Learning so much watching your stuff. I’m a newbie at niche marketing , and appreciate all the stuff your teaching. Signed up for your newsletter.
just blown away by the value of what you guys are sharing! Honestly iam the first one to admit we are VERY impatient that we are fighting for instant gratification. we want to make money like right now...everything is NOW OR NEVER... this video has truly made me realize the value of patience and consistent it truly PAYS!
Your channel is new for me but I already like it a lot. You seem like a very genuine guys. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Also, signed up for your newsletter. 👌🤘
This and all your videos I have seen are eye openers I just subscribed, So content is still King!
I got recommendation from TH-cam to watch this video. only because i made a video about using keywords. And this was very excellent thing to watch
Love where you said cover the screen 😄😄. I started my site a month ago and am trying so hard to do the right things in order to succeed halfway do thank you very much for making this video. Very much appreciated
This really is so refreshing! All those hours of attempting to make quality content will hopefully pay off! I was contemplating other methods such as backlinks but maybe the key is just patience after all :)
I’ve been selling wholesale and retail since I was 16 I was born into the business. I decided to go on my own instead of taking over my fathers. And thanks to you guys I have been a marketing pro. I’m now about to be 20 and I’ve tripled my net worth every year since 16. Thanks for the help!!!
I absolutely agree that backlinking is not unneeded but just overrated. Just as you said if the content and SEO is good and relevant Google will recognize it. I managed to bring a client's eShop to #1 page of Google with just good On-page SEO on product pages. It just takes time for Google to crawl it and rank it. And revenues jumped in a few months by 6x and now it rose 10x. Of course, this Corona situation is killing it right now, but still has sales.
Great video - really helpful information. Thank you for the advice about writing good quality content rather than worrying about creating backlinks
I have always believed the same thing. Do things the right way and get best results. This is my style and you are probably one of the first TH-cam channels I have ever in my life, subscribed to. Bam there I said it!
Cool to finally see people that are telling their audience not to do any linkbuilding. For some reason 99% of all “SEO guru’s” still claim backlinks are the key to get ranked in Google. I have multiple pages and blog post all ranking at the top of the first page in the search results without doing any linkbuilding. Content is king. If you’re content is better then the competition you will probably outrank them at some point. Even if your competitor does have way more backlinks. Great advice from these two gentlemen.
I agree with a lot of other comments here. I’ve been doing a lot of research, and this changes so much for me. Like I need to be throwing my money at you guys! Seriously though, thanks for this video, and you guys are clear, entertaining and a little charming! I subscribed to you and I’m anxious to see what else I can learn from you.
I am so happy that I stumbled upon your video which led to your website. Your approach is far better that all the other "do this and get rich" people. My listening to them has led to lost money. Totally changed my thinking. Thank you.
You are some stand up guys. I really appreciate your transparency and the value you brought with this video. Which you didn’t have to do for free! Have a good one!
I just found your video today- mostly because of your contrarian title. Love how open you are at sharing info.
