Hey everyone,

With the rise of Al-generated content, semantic search, and Google's increasing focus on topical authority, I'm wondering if traditional link-building tactics (like guest posts, directory submissions, and outreach emails) are starting to lose their impact.

Are you still seeing strong results from backlinks, or have you shifted more toward content clusters, internal linking, and entity-based SEO? Would love to hear what's working for you in 2025.

Backlinks still work even though I'm **** at getting them these days. Regardless of backlinks, you always need to focus on your on-page SEO such as internal linking. It's not an either-or situation. What are content clusters and entity-based SEO?
