Looks like a bunch of junk links with zero authority.

I think you have to stop messing around using tools to build Web 2.0 pyramid.

Focus on creating quality content and guest posting. Will beat any of the BS above...Thats For Sure!

The answer depends on your targeted keyword.

Read Why Your Tiered Links Won't Rank Sh*t

Without the document sharing PDF site module linking in to your 15th Tier of dung, the whole thing is a complete waste of time.

I think this method will not work.

Why?
In both schemes it's focused on building just links from other sites, whether they're from high PR or with low-PR. Even if the site has high PR, useless links from authority sites will not help too.
I mean like e.g. making a comment on a post on PR 5 authority site will not help much.

My suggestions is forget about link-building but focus on marketing, usability and quality. Ranking websites will take time, and look at the ranking as a "bi product" of your marketing efforts. Thus don't focus on building links and ranking for keywords, but focus on marketing, usability and quality.

Some of the methods you can use to market:

Social Media Marketing: Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn etc. etc.

Forum marketing; register on 1-3 active forums and be active on them: answer questions, make useful posts etc.

Guest blogging: find related websites to your niche which gets a lot of traffic, and make posts on them. If the site also have active commenters, you can then get more traffic if you actively reply to the commenters too.

Unique, quality and interesting content is a must. The more natural - the better.

Spend the time you're spending learning all these tools, tricks, workarounds, and "blackhat hacks" to buy some old sites and start putting up single links from them to your own sites. You'll get more traction than these "methods" will ever get you.

Not working buddy. I mean by not working:

It will increase your rankings, but it also will get you lost your ranking fast.

Those diagrams are things from the past. So now its better to think on how to build natural quality backlinks. Few of these valuable backlinks can help your site rank safely.

Amazing thread, thank you so much.

don't follow the crowd with those spamming techniques

It's very easy to just research your niche in the search engine look at the listings and see if any of those sites have a way to leave a backlink without spamming them

any link I do this way has done well by me requiring many less links in the long run

nice diagram if it would be worked out better ..
