Help me crack this ecommerce link building puzzle

So I've been trying to grow backlinks for my ecommerce site and I'm kinda lost. Been doing some guest posting, outreach, you name it. Last month I managed to get around 25 backlinks from niche sites and I thought that would boost my DA and rankings but nope. SERP still looks dead. I even did a backlink analysis and found a few PBN links that I bought ages ago but I'm not sure if those even matter anymore or if I should just forget about black/grey hat stuff. Has anyone had success with white hat tactics that actually scale for ecommerce? Like, I don't want to waste months on tiny wins. Also, I heard some ppl are doing huge resource page link building but that sounds slow. Anyone got experience with that? Would love some real talk about what actually works in 2023 for product pages.
 
SERP still looks dead because backlinks alone don't cut it anymore. You need to combine that with actual on-site optimization, content that sells, and user signals. Relying on PBNs or quick wins will only get you temporary or penalized traffic. Real scalable growth? Focus on building genuinely helpful resource pages, creating content people want to link to naturally, and making sure your site is fast and user-friendly.
 
Careful with the "resource page" hype, tho. It can be slow and sus if you just slap together pages for backlinks. Sometimes just reaching out to legit sites and building real relationships gets you farther faster. Not every strategy has to be slow and steady, lol. Keep it real and test what works for you.
 
just my 2 cents but real relationships can help, but if u want scale, u gotta do more than just outreach. gotta focus on content, on-site stuff, user signals too. backlinks are just part of the puzzle, not the whole game.
 
different angle: yeah backlinks matter, but imo for scale u gotta focus more on content that actually converts and user engagement. backlinks can help, but they won't do all the heavy lifting by themselves. also, don't sleep on internal linking and on-page signals
 
Tbh I tried resource pages last year, but unless u got a legit niche, it's a grind for tiny wins. Better off building real content and outreach, ymmv.
 
bruh, I did a crazy internal link overhaul last month and saw more impact than some backlinks I got in half a year lol. sometimes it's all about the on-page signals, imo. seems simple but y'know, that stuff's underrated.
 
80% of my wins last year came from SEMrush's backlink audit tool, found some hidden toxic links and cleaned them up fast. imho, quality over quantity but u still gotta find legit opportunities that actually matter. lp
 
Been doing this 3 years, and honestly, most legit opportunities are slow as hell. its all about stacking small wins, not waiting for some big backlink miracle. tf, just gotta keep at it and hope the algo gods are feeling merciful.
 
80% of ecommerce sites struggle with legit backlinks so I get it, this shit can be a nightmare but SEMrush's backlink audit tool is what I use for this kinda stuff it shows broken links, bad links, and who's linking to your competitors so you can mimic or crush them. seriously worth the $ for the clarity it gives.
 
last month i was stuck on a similar thing with a client and honestly i just started scraping competitors' backlink profiles and reaching out to similar niche sites. sometimes manual outreach beats tools for ecommerce, imo.
 
ok so different angle: a lot of ecommerce link building fails because people just focus on quantity not quality. Instead of scraping and reaching out blindly, look at niche-specific blogs or product review sites. Doing that kind of targeted outreach can boost your backlink quality by 30-50% pretty quick, ymmv.
 
Been doing this 3 years and honestly, I find scraping and outreach only gets you so far. Sometimes the best links come from legit partnerships or creating shareable content that earns backlinks naturally. imo, chasing easy links or focusing too much on niche blogs can be a dead end.
 
Scraping and outreach have worked for me too, but I found the real was building actual relationships with niche influencers and industry insiders. Automated methods got me some links, but those genuine contacts brought in higher quality and more natural backlinks.
 
yep exactly, but one thing ppl forget is the power of internal linking. fixing broken internal links, creating content hubs and making sure your product pages are linked from other relevant pages can give a legit boost without the outreach grind. sometimes it's the low-hanging fruit ppl ignore.
 
different angle: link building for ecommerce ain't just about outreach or partnerships, u gotta focus on content that gets shared naturally. Think about creating useful guides, videos, or tools that ur audience wants to link to.
 
Honestly, I used to overlook the power of user-generated content but once I started encouraging customers to share their stories or reviews, the natural backlinks shot up. ppl love sharing real experiences and it's way more authentic than most outreach. Might
 
different angle: maybe focus on building niche communities around your products, not just link bait. like forums, subreddits, or niche groups where ppl actually talk about ur stuff and share links naturally lol
