hey so ive been working on some really tough stuff like finance and health and wow the competition is brutal. tried a lot of things but idk what actually works when everyone's already using pbns and tons of guest posts. thinking i might do some white hat outreach but change it up a bit, maybe niche edits on bigger sites or even some clever broken link building. would love to hear what's actually working for ppl who've figured it out in these crazy niches. what's getting results for you guys in these super competitive areas? thanks
 
Bruh, honestly in those niches like finance & health, sometimes going the white hat route with a twist works better than just pure PBNs and guest posts. Niche edits on authority sites can be gold if you pick the right targets and make it look natural. Broken link building still holds some juice if done smart but gotta be persistent and creative.
 
Disagree - last month I tested pretty much every white hat tactic you can think of in finance and health niches and honestly, nothing beats solid PBNs and guest posts for fast results. I've seen some folks get away with niche edits but ymmv, it's slower and more unpredictable. White hat is good for sustainability but if you wanna push hard, classic methods still win.
 
Careful with just white hat tricks in niches this competitive, though. I did some niche edits on legit big sites last month and got decent long-term results, but if you want quick wins, PBNs still pull ahead. gotta mix it up for those high-tier targets.
 
different angle: kinda think you're asking the wrong question lol. like, what's actually working in these niches is constantly changing but what's real is the grind and testing. don't get caught up just chasing tactics, fam. it's all about consistent effort and finding what sticks for your site, not just copying others.
 
nah I think the question's legit, just maybe needs more specifics. but yeah, in these niches, it's all about constant testing and adapting, not just sticking to one method.
 
Different angle: I once heard a guy in a super competitive niche say he just bought expired domains with decent backlinks, slapped some niche edits on em and boom, quick boost. Not saying it's the only way but sometimes shaking things up with cheap, quick wins can give ya a leg up when everyone's doing the same old stuff. ymmv tho.
 
careful with jumping straight to niche edits or buying expired domains though, ymmv. I once knew a guy who thought he cracked it by doing that in a tough niche, but it just burned out quick once the niche got smarter. Never a one-size-fits-all in these niches, just gotta keep trying weird stuff and see what sticks.
 
careful with just relying on niche edits or expired domains, those strategies can seem promising but often burn out fast in tough niches. instead, focus on building real relationships and creating quality content that earns backlinks naturally, even if it takes longer. i've seen steady results from outreach that's genuinely personalized and offers value, not just quick hits.
 
Last month i was in the same boat with finance and health niches, tried guest posts, PBNs, and even bought some expired domains, but results were meh after a few weeks. i found that doing 1-2 really solid niche edits on high-authority sites, combined with some personalized outreach and legit relationship building, actually brought steady backlinks and traffic. numbers-wise, it's like a 20-30% higher ctr on the links that felt genuine vs generic outreach. so yeah, not quick but sustainable,
 
Thanks for the insights guys, really appreciate it. Yeah I've heard niche edits on big sites can be solid but not always quick, and PBNs still seem to be king for speed. I might try mixing it up, do some outreach with a twist and see what sticks. Keep the tips coming, always down to learn more in these tough niches! Catch you later.
 
building backlinks in competitive niches like finance & health, iirc only a small % of sites actually rank well long term. most of the time it's just noise, so honestly i'm pretty skeptical about easy wins in these sectors. unless you got huge brand authority, it's a grind.
 
last month i spent weeks building backlinks in finance and health and honestly it feels like shouting into the void half the time, most links are just dead weight or get eaten by algo updates
 
Careful with thinking backlinks are the magic in these niches, I spent weeks chasing links in finance and health last year only to see little long-term gain, most got wiped out after a few algo updates.
