Tiered Link Building Strategy?

I'm a little confused about a tiered link building strategy.

When you create your tier layers does your links point back to main page:

www.mydomain.com OR to the relevant article www.domain.com/article/my-article

If it goes to the article then you basically create a tier structure with every single keyword/article on your website. is this correct?

In all the tutorials I've seen they mention point it to the money site, but just unclear to exactly where on the site you point to.

    Ultimately you want to rank a few pages on your site for different keywords. You get good page authority for a few pages which gives you an overall better domain authority. In the big picture a good domain authority gives all of your pages strength. So I guess to answer your question some of both. I think it's good practice to aim most of it at the homepage but others my like a evenly distributed technique.

    If your doing tiers then your Tier 1's should be the only one's going to your main (money) site. Tier 2's to your T-1's, T-3's to your T-2's. Make since? The point is each tier get's stronger by the ones below it linking to it.


    Money Site

    T1
    T2 T2
    T3, T3, T3, T3

    There's people on this site who I consider experts on this. I'm a novice myself, always learning. Hope this made since.

    If you are serious about SEO, forget about SEO and only focus on the health of your site. The concept of "doing SEO" is gradually dying and this time its going to be permanent.

      I couldn't disagree more! I might be new here, but I certainly am not new to SEO. It works, it will always work, you just need to find out how to do it right.

      At the moment, tiered link building isn't having the save affect as it did a few years back, but it still works on easy/medium keywords. But you have to do it right.

      Make sure that your tier 1 links are of the highest quality. These high quality tier 1s should contain the anchor text as the keyword you want to rank for. Dilute this anchor text a little with other not so important links, but still not spammy. This can include lots of things including social bookmarks, good blog comments (not spammy ones), etc.

      Then use contextual tier 2 links to link back to your tier 1 links. Now a lot of people will now just use spam blog comments, etc for tier 3. I do another tier of contextual links for tiers 3 and 4 and then blast thousands of spammy type links as tier 5.

      Works well for me and it should do you too!!
