Does Skyscraper Still Pack a Punch in 2023

[Leverage]

My two cents, the skyscraper technique used to be a gold standard but these days Im not so sure. Basically you find popular content, make something even better, then outreach for backlinks. Seems simple enough but with the rising noise and link spam penalties I wonder if its just more risk than its worth. I tried it a couple times last year, got some decent backlinks but nothing really moved the needle. Do you guys still see value in this or has the strategy gone stale or overused? Just feeling stuck trying to decide if I should push this harder or look for other angles

skyscraper still works if done right but the landscape changed. Google got smarter about spammy backlinks. The data is clear - quality over quantity is king now. If your outreach is spammy or your content not truly better, it's dead weight. Maybe shift to more natural, less risky tactics like guest posting or niche collaborations. Or just focus on building a solid LP and running paid. Sometimes you gotta move on when the old tactics lose juice.

Sigh. Skyscraper still works if you actually do it right. Problem is most people just copy and paste the same spammy outreach. Google got smarter, yeah. But if your content is legit better and outreach is targeted, it still moves. Just not the easy way anymore. Risk? Sure. But the real risk is doing nothing and hoping organic grows on its own. Been in this game too long. You gotta adapt. Maybe focus on making stuff people actually want to link. Otherwise, just wasting time chasing old tricks.

Did skyscraper last year for a client - made a nice backlink farm but no real push. Turns out Google's smarter now - content needs to be genuinely better not just shinier. Outreach still matters but most people just spam - results stay slow. Test small - lose small, always. Otherwise you end up in the spam graveyard, hoping for a miracle. Better to switch gears and build something real rather than chasing the latest tactic that's overused.

Let's pump the brakes for a sec, just because the method got a fancy name doesn't mean it's dead.

Yeah the landscape's tougher, but if your content actually stands out and your outreach is targeted, it's still worth a shot. The risk is higher but so is the potential ROI if you do it right.

If your outreach is spammy or your content no

Lol, u think if ur outreach is spammy, ur content will save u? Come on, that's the kinda attitude that got the tactic tarnished. Quality content and targeted outreach are basic s, not some optional add-ons.

wym, skyscraper is still solid if you know how to angle it right. the thing is, most guys get greedy and try to run the same creatives and angles from 2021 and expect the same results. fr, that's cap. gotta keep testing, tweaking your copy, and maybe change the targeting a bit. if you're stuck on the same old scripts, of course it's sus. lfg with some fresh messaging and you'll see it still hits. just don't sleep on the fundamentals. and nah, no need to overcomplicate it, most offers just need a little refresh to stay relevant. based on what I've seen, as long as you keep it legit and avoid sketchy angles, you can still cash out."

Yup, same old story. Skyscraper's still decent if you adapt, but most folks want to hit it big quick and ignore the grind. Been down that road, it's a constant dance of tweaks and patience.

sorry but i think skyscraper still hits if you understand the decay. most guys get caught up trying to find the perfect creative and forget about freshening up the lp and angles fast enough. show me the numbers when you keep the same thing for a week and expect magic.

Interesting. Walk me through your thinking on the creative angle. Obsessing over the same old script w/o testing new hooks or storytelling shifts is a distraction. The real lever is CTR and CVR, not just sticking to what worked before. Skyscraper can still punch but only if you keep the creative fresh and tweak based on real data, not assumptions.

Honestly, I think skyscraper still works but you gotta be smart about it. The core idea of stacking similar creatives to beat ad fatigue is still valid but only if you keep the fresh angle, the new hooks, and the latest decays in mind. It's kinda like a never ending game of whack-a-mole. You find a good creative, run it for a bit, then bam, ad fatigue kicks in and CTR drops. The trick is to always have new ideas cooking, test a bunch, and know when to pivot. Most folks wanna go big quick and don't wanna put in the grind of testing and tweaking, that's where they go wrong. Skyscraper's not a silver bullet anymore but if you're disciplined enough to keep freshening up your creatives, it still hits decently. That's the game, always be testing, never get lazy. Based on what I see, if your LPs and angles are stale, no amount of creative stacking will save you. Keep the flow fresh and adapt fast, then skyscraper still can punch in 2023.

Does Skyscraper Still Pack a Punch in 2023

Does skyscraper still pack a punch? Come on, now. If you think the game hasn't evolved, you're already behind. It's just a matter of how well you can keep the decays fresh and not get caught stuffing cookies. Most folks chase shiny objects instead of owning their audience platform.

 

[Leverage]

Yeah, data don't lie but most folks forget the basics. Skyscraper's still got legs if you keep testing and refining. Greed kills the grind, and creative decay is real. No shortcuts, just constant tweaks
