0:45 your website Authority and improve your overall SEO it is crucial strategy for SEO if you want to actually rank not only that it also tends to get your content and your website indexed a lot quicker so in this we in this video we're going to learn how to find a publication platform that puts publicators and subject matter experts together making this a lot easier we're going to check the website's quality the website of which we want the backlink for we need to make sure that it's actually worth our time to reach out to them uh making sure that that website is high quality and it's within the niche that we want to get a backlink for because not all backlinks are created equal you want a high quality backlinks you don't want every single backlink

1:30 that you can get your hands on also we're then going to submit the request to try and get that link I'm going to show you how to do all this the tools that we need for this are feature.com which is the publication website there is a free tier which is enough for a lot of people and then we need some sort of SEO tool whether that's ah refs or sem Rush this is the fourth and final video of a four-part series on how to do SEO with AI in 2025 you can watch that video in this playlist on this YouTube channel we've done on-site SEO keyword research SEO content and finally backlinking the first thing that you're going to do is you're going to get an account with featured. comom there are other websites like it but I prefer featured and I've had great results in it what featured is

2:16 is a website that puts together Publications and subject matter experts the publicators then ask questions which you as a subject matter expert can answer if your answer is good enough you can then they'll select you and they'll get they'll give you a backlink as a result but you don't want to go in blind and select any website that they come up with you want to make sure you do the due diligence and check that website's quality for example I've made an account and now within the questions tab I can see and select which question I want to try and answer the question is here we have the publication meaning the website the deadline for which you need to answer the question for the domain Authority and the attribution these two components are perhaps the most

3:02 important ones that you need to take a look at we need to select the right domain Authority how do you do this and how do you know what that is well they give you the domain Authority but you also want to double check it as a rule of thumb if your website is brand new you want to pick a domain Authority that is higher than yours you want to associate your website with higher domain authorities let's say you're just starting out and your domain Authority is of zero which it will be in the beginning start with another domain authority of 10 at least ideally 20 and above but those can get a little bit difficult and finally with the attribution you want to make sure that it's do follow meaning the link they give you is a do follow link I'm not going to get too much into what that is but just make sure that you pick one

3:47 that has a doe follow link and the way that featured works is that you answer the question and then if it gets selected you'll get in a review and then it'll get published within a couple of days or the time that they've set so for example I've scrolled down and see and and checked on a question that I'm more than capable to answer do you really need a huge budget for SAS SEO I'm currently challenging the norm yada yada once you select a question that you think you can answer you're going to click the answer button or or you can save it to answer them together later on but I'm just going to click the answer button because I'm want to show you what this looks like you have once you click the answer button you'll have this pop up and it says and you you have 2,500 words to answer answer the question you

4:33 can use AI but make sure that you have a couple of things here in order to to ensure that you get picked that is share your experience give helpful advice submit original text and leave out introductions just get straight to it one component that I find that increases your chances of getting picked is ADD real life experiences we did this and it resulted in X those things are fine get picked a lot quicker once you submit your answer you will get you will then go to this tab which is in review meaning the teamate featured are reviewing your answer you will then if your answer is good enough it'll go to selected this doesn't mean that it got selected and you're going to get a back link it means it's selected and the publicat is going to read your answer if it gets picked

5:20 then it'll be in a published meaning you actually got that backlink but we before we get to ahead of ourselves what we want to do is make sure the website is actually work worthwhile for us getting a backlink so this one that I say before the publication is web fixed tool I want to make sure that that is a real website first of all and it doesn't look too spammy I want to go to the URL and it says web fix tool a free SEO tool well if I'm writing about SEO things like I do I know that at least it's in the correct Niche so that is a titig for me it's relevant to what I want to write about or what I want to concentrate on the next thing that I want to do is make sure that this website has a good linking profile what I mean by this is that the back links have a natural growth this one is already a little bit

6:08 tricky to decide if it's good or not because for example if I go to ahr or sem rush or whatever tool you choose to use for your SEO you need to go to something that tells you their referring domains how many other websites are rank are linking to them and here we see that all of a sudden they're getting a massive influx from one day to the other or from two days they went from from 177 to 400 backlinks and then from 300 back down it's very sporadic for me that's sending a few red flags I don't feel 100% comfortable linking to that not to say that it is a bad website to link to I just want to do the due diligence and you know what I'm actually not going to submit a question for that so I'm going to just unsave this one and let's look for another one

6:54 that'll make better sense for me to do that one that I've actually submitted already and got the backlink for is backlink building IO let's see why I chose this website here and I was happy to answer that so here for example over a one-ear period I can see that it was a lot more organic yes there was this massive Spike here but because there's only one Spike and the rest is fairly organic I'm fairly comfortable getting a backlink for them now their domain Authority is seven which is a little bit low however mine as a brand new website is zero so they have a higher domain ranking than me I'm okay getting a backlink for that which I got from them eventually so again just to summarize what you need to do is go to featured make sure that you

7:39 answer a question but before you do you need to double check that that website has a slowly growing backlink profile and it is related to your Niche what do I mean here if you have a website that train dogs for example and you provide Dog Training Services do not get a backlink from a website that sells computer gear for example it needs to be contextually appropriate now the last final thing that you can do is get someone else to do this for you this can be very tricky because if you get someone on Fiverr and for the love of God do not get a backlink from Fiverr if someone doesn't know what they're doing it can be detrimental to your website's health so leave it to the experts there's a couple of people that I would trust but more importantly or preferably I trust get me

8:27 links I work with them for a while and are real people behind this agency they work with you together doing the hard yards for you they have a massive network of websites which they know and they have personal connections for and they'll either guess blog for you or they'll ask on your behalf to get a backlink from a website they do a free backlinking strategy call which I highly recommend so if you're a business that has a little bit of budget to spend on backlinking which I recommend you do once you do all your other on-site SEO components give them a call and they'll do this for you this isn't a sponsored video or or anything like that I just like their work and if you want to leave it to the experts these are the guys I recommend but if you've got the time get
