      Hello there,

      Some of my competitors have backlinks from very well-known newspaper websites like New York Post or The Sun. And it is really obvious that their backlinks are paid ones.

      On these news websites, they don't talk about ghost writing stuff or "partnership" for backlinks. They only write about banner advertising.

      So I was wondering how they can get a backlink from them.
      Do some writers sell those backlinks somewhere else, under the table? Are they in contact with SEO agencies who paid them and if this is the case, does their "manager" know it? or does the company directly have partnerships with SEO agencies?

      Basically, how to get a backlink from the NY Post or The Sun ?

      Thanks

        Competitors may secure backlinks from prominent newspapers through:

        • Paid content opportunities
        • PR and outreach efforts
        • Content collaborations
        • Advertising relationships

        To get backlinks from newspapers like New York Post or The Sun:

        • Create high-quality, newsworthy content
        • Build relationships with writers, editors, or content providers
        • Explore sponsored content opportunities
        • Partner with reputable SEO agencies

        Remember to prioritize ethical practices and quality content.

          Paid link with high quality content

          link building paid links

          I know paid links is against google's policy. But what if I have a very quality content including my paid link on blogger's site referencing to my site.
          Is it counted as an ad or spammy content which leads to penalization by search engines ?

          Unsolved Backlinks issues.

          backlinks

          I am hoping this is the right forum to ask this question. But, I was looking at my backlinks and noticed that I had some go to a page that resembles my site, but had porn words on it. however, it would link to a place on my site. Under more information it has a real link to my site. What is this? I noticed the domain authority was in I believe the 70's; but PA was in 40's. I am new, so can someone explain this. Thank you. example below:

          We have a client that wants to gain a back link from Webopedia. We have found a very relevent definition entry and there is an additional resources section that contains links to their competitors. Webopedia is owned/operated by Quinn St. and I have reached out to them to see if this is a posibility, but haven't heard back. Any experience in trying to acquire a link from this property? Thanks!

          How to track/find new organic backlinks to your domain

          I use Google Alerts to track domain-level backlinks (via the link:http://www.example.com trick) but is there a way to track/be alerted of long urls, not just the domain, without having to set an alert for each specific url?

          Backlinks not showing up in the campaign crawl

          I have been adding backlinks, about 110 since the last crawl, but only 14 new linking domains showed in my campaign profile. Can someone explain? Is it that the linking domains were not crawled and thus not seen. Is it that the crawl posting is from data that was crawled a long time ago (4-6 weeks ago) and it took a while for it to show up is it that the domains i got links on were, possibly, not so hot and just get filtered out?
