What's up guys this is Matthew Woodward and welcome to my ultimate guide to tiered link building.

Today I'm going to take you through exactly what tiered link building is.

The benefits of tiered linked building.

How to use it to rank sites easily.

And ultimately how to setup a tiered link building campaign

So what is tiered link building exactly? It is a unique approach to link building in which you essentially build backlinks to your backlinks. That helps to give your first tier of backlinks more strength and authority. Over time your tier 1 backlinks will gain page rank and that link juice gets passed directly onto your site.

You can then take this a step further and create a third tier of links to strengthen your second tier. This creates a knock on effect passing huge volumes of link juice and authority all the way down the chain to your site. The other advantage to this is it gives search engine spiders millions of paths and oppertunities to land on your site which will further increase rankings.

Now I realise all of that probably sounds pretty confusing so let's make things a bit easier to understand with a diagram. Here you can see your main and normally you would build a first tier of backlinks such as web 2.0 sites, blog posts, article directories and things like that. What makes tiered link building different though is you then build backlinks to each of those first tier links.

For example we might create a wiki link, blog comment and bookmark to your web 2.0 tier 1 link. This helps give the tier 1 link more strength and authority in Google's eyes. We would then do the same for each of the tier 1 links. As you can see there is already a decent amount of link juice flowing through to the site just with 2 tiers of links in place.

What we actually want to do is repeat the process for the tier 2 links by building a third tier. The idea is to build as many tier 3 links as possible to boost the tier 2 links, which in turn boosts the tier 1 links and your site.

This is a very simplified example but hopefully you can see how powerful it is if each of your tier 1 links had 50 tier 2 backlinks, and each of those 50 tier 2 backlinks had 300 hundred tier 3 links.

It might all sound like hard work but tiered link building offers some superb benefits.

First of all it allows you to build a protective layer of tier 1 links around your site. This protective layer helps reduce the risk of getting a penalty and also means that we can take advantage of a lot of the riskier link building methods out there.

For example high PR blog networks such as ALN can be used to strengthen your tier 1 links. If they get caught out in an algo update then it is your tier 1 links that get penalised and not your main site.

Overtime your tier 1 links will become page rank 3, 4 or more which is passed onto your site. You can essentially manufacture as many relevant high rank links to your site as you want.

So what makes a good tier 1 link? First of all you should focus on only getting high quality links pointing to your site. These should be surrounded by relevant contextual content that makes sense, so no cheating by using auto generated content here. Although we do have a use for that in lower tiers.

Ideally you want your tier 1 links to come from domains Google already trusts.
.
Tier 1 links are the foundation to your ranking so you want to make sure they will not get deleted or removed. Usually this isn't a problem if you have used quality content on your first tier.

This is the best video that I ever watched about tiere link building. Short and yet very precise tutorial that you were able to explain what is tiere link building and how to do it. I agree with you Matt that we should look at the quality and not just the quantity.

[Frangy]

I love you because of subtittles. A very good help for not english speakers like me, which most of times have difficults to understand videos. Thanks.

[SearchLogisticsHQ]

The reason it works so well is because it takes advantage of the fundamental way google spiders and structures the web.

The theory will always be solid - the only thing that could change are the variables we use on the tiers and we might have to start tweaking the types of links we use, where we use them and the content used on them.

Other than that, its good to go!

You don't understand how grateful I am that you made this video. I've been learning SEO a lot lately and this series is going to help me so much. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make these, I really really appreciate your efforts.

Matthew Woodward, thanks for this great intro. to tiered link building. Will be going through the other videos in this series.

[johnlandon]

Google won't just blow a hole in this. It's in many ways white hat seo. Yes it requires a bit of spamming with the lower tiers but as long as your writing good content that people will enjoy reading well into the future, you will be getting powerful link-juice for years to come. Cheers Matt, I look forward to finishing this series.

[mattgs]

Your videos on SEO are great, some of the better content I've found on youtube. Thanks

My gosh, what a great explanation. I'd heard of tiered links, but am just now 'growing' to that point.
I have questions - I have a blog with multiple posts, pages, etc., as well as videos, etc. For my main blog to benefit the most, what type of strategy is required to build links to the Main URL, as well as pages and posts? (if this is in a later view, sorry in advance!)

[Movingbigmountainscom]

This is an excellent explanation of Tier 1 link building!

[muhammadtalha]

Hey there Matthew, thanks for the amazing series! Simply love it, you have broken down the whole process into easy-to-digest format. Thanks a lot.

I have a question, is this approach recommended for ranking local sites in year 2016? Thanks!

[paulstreetseo]

Hello Matthew, Good information about tiered link building and the way to explain is really very good. But why do the 4th level of links spam.

[FervilTripoli]

Thanks for the tutorial Matt! Perfect time-saver + additional information.

[helgesverre]

Thanks for explaining this technique, I might test it out one a dummy domain some day.

Hi Will,

No worrys glad your enjoying them - don't be afraid to rate them =D

[swissbrandsmojo]

This is a great series of videos, i've watches 3 already and kind of understand the process. However i have 2 questions:
1- After the 2 weeks of tier 1 and the week of tier 2 and 3 is complete (when all links are created) how much time does it usually takes you to rank for your keyword in the first, let's say, 50 results of google (if you hit the first 10 much better)?

2- is it recommended for niche sites?, can i rank in the first 10 resoults in a month if is a low competitive long tail keyword that i'm aiming for?

My friend, thanks very much for the video again, i'll give it a try and share anyway!
