Ah, the weekly saga of trying to get backlinks without throwing cash at every shady PBN in sight. I decided to test out infographic outreach recently, thinking visuals might boost my CTR and make my pitch more shareable. So I whipped up a decent infographic about crypto trends, and started hitting sites that have a 'submit your guest post' button. First few weeks? Crickets. Hardly anyone bothered to look at it, let alone share or link. I figured ok maybe I need a better angle, so I added some data points and made it more relevant. Then I sent it out again, and bam, the results flipped. I got a handful of backlinks from legit sites in the niche, some even shared it on their socials. The backlinks were decent, traffic went up a bit, and I finally got a few mentions in some articles. The catch? It took more outreach effort than I wanted, and not every site was open to infographics. But honestly, it felt cleaner than cloaking some PBN or trying to game a tiered system. Lesson learned: visuals can work if you have a solid pitch and target the right folks. Anyone else tried infographic outreach lately? Or just throwing money at PBNs and hoping for the best?
