      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.

          Unsolved Inaccurate backlinks being listed in Moz campaign

          backlinks campaign details

          Moz keeps saying that these websites (amongst others)... https://toolszap.com/
          https://www.findwallpaperhd.com/
          https://onlinecoursesschools.com/
          https://www.tonzo.com/ ...are linking to one of my client sites at https://www.scamblermusic.com The websites in question clearly aren't related and aren't linking to the site, and there's no reference to Scambler Music anywhere in the source code. Why does Moz keep listing backlinks that simply don't appear to exist?

          Should I disavow these links?

          backlinks toxicbacklinks audit backlinkaudit disavow

          Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
          Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5 Slightly different site but same favicon icon:
          https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://www.whitetracks-holidays.com/Helicopter_Transfers_Villars_Switzerland.htm Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

          Where I can find a backlink community exchange?

          I know is difficult but it's worth to try. I am looking for a community eager to exchange links. I am in the venue rent for weeding and conferences in London   and I would be delighted to find other people to exchange the links. At the moment my page is PR4 I have seen communities for games where they exchange anything, why don't link exchange!!!!

          URL shortener and backlinks

          Are there any SEO benefits drawn from creating backlinks with Google url shortener service(especially for the very deep links) or for the do-follow link juice I have to use a complete address?

          Some questions about guest posting

          After reading this on the SEOMoz blog, I've decided to try some guest posting to gain some backlinks for our real estate site.  I have a few questions for those of you who do this regularly: 1. If the site you are posting on allows up to 3 links in the signature box, do you generally use them all?  My gut instinct is that one anchor texted link would give me the most bang for my buck. 3.  How much attention do you pay to PR or DA?  If a site is PR1 but relevant to your niche would you spend the time to write the article? 4. What negatives have you found when writing guest posts? Thanks!
