Hey so typically you have 1-4 tiers. Bottom tier is typically the most "spammy" where you are throwing lots of backlinks to the next tier up using wikis, blog comments, social bookmarks. Next tier up is typically creating low Web 2.0 properties supporting articles, social bookmarks and signals, articles, press release with good content that link up to your "Money Site" or main website you are trying to promote. Many people have their theories on how many tiers or what type of links you are using etc but that is typically how it works. Now the strategy for success is what people has differences in. There are lots of companies out there that provide pyramid backlinking. Lots of linking strategies out there

Use Magic Submitter or GSA to create web 2.0s and social bookmarking pointing to Tier 1 web 2.0s. You can search in Google " [Tutorial] How to Create and Tier Web 2.0's (GSA SER)". You will get some amazing tutorial for this one.



Blast as much as backlinks pointing to all Tier 2 links. You can use tools like GSA, Senuke, xRumour etc for this part.

'Link Pyramid' is a structure of web pages you own (Pbn's, self hosted) and/or web pages you place links on otherwise not owned by you (Web20's, Guest Posting, etc)

The structure of the linking of these 'properties' is like that of a pyramid. What happens is that link juice (a combination of metrics such as trust flow, domain authority, etc) flows towards your homepage, or "money site".

The result of this giving your homepage a higher search engine ranking.

Example:

There are some great tools. Just difference on preference. Some like GSA, other like Ultimate Demon, Magic Submitter, SeNuke. Magic Submitter is a great tool and pretty much does what SeNuke does and is also cheaper. GSA is great too for Tier 2 and 3. If you want to stay on budget on a tight budget i would recommend MS ($67 a month), GSA is i think one time fee still of $99. Make sure to keep Tier 1 100% natural. which means Unique content. Here is what i typically use.

Tier 3-4 - GScraper or Scrapebox
Tier 2 - MS or GSA
Tier 1 - hire some content writers to write natural and unique content unless you feel comftorable writing your own content. NEVER automate / spin content on Tier 1

Thank you for this. Great information here

Questions, do you monetize your Tier 2 Links? If so do you just stick with an affiliate program? Or do you use something like Google Adsense? And if you do that, do you create multiple adsense accounts?

And lastly, how do you keep track of your pyramids? IE, to see what sites might be working best, and which ones need tweaking?
