so ive been trying some scholarship link building stuff lately but idk if its even worth it anymore. some sites gave me ok backlinks but others totally ignored me or marked it as spam. saw a temporary ranking boost in a few small niches but nothing stuck around. anyone actually having luck with this recently or is it just an old myth at this point? maybe i'm missing something new or its just way too saturated now. curious if people are still getting real results from it or if its just a waste of time these days
 
Honestly, I think it depends on how you approach it now. Are you focusing on building real relationships with site owners or just mass submitting? ymmv but if you're doing it cold and spammy, yeah, it's probably dead. Have you tried adding value or using some outreach automation tools?
 
Different angle: maybe try focusing on creating genuinely useful scholarship content that sites actually wanna link to, rather than just hitting them up cold. It's slow but can build some legit trust and backlinks over time, especially if you do a little outreach after publishing it. Just spamming those sites rn? That's highkey dead.
 
Been doing scholarship link building for like 3 years and honestly the biggest boost came when I started using haro. u pitch some legit stories, and if u hit the right journalists, u can get some decent backlinks without sounding spammy. it's slow but the quality is way better than random submissions. might be worth a shot if u wanna keep it legit.
 
Like 50% of the sites ignore or spam you, it's just how it is these days, bruh. Not worth stressing if the quality isn't there.
 
Spot on. I messed around with scholarship links last year, got some cheap backlinks from smaller sites but they didn't move the needle much long term. Some sites were totally spammy or just didn't respond. Honestly, rn I think it's more about quality over quantity but even then, the results are hit or miss.
 
different angle: maybe instead of just backlinks from scholarship sites, try building relationships with niche-specific edu sites or forums, that's where some real juice might come from.
 
different angle: I've seen some legit niche sites rank with scholarship links, but it's a slow grind and kinda risky if you overdo it. not a magic bullet but can help in the right context if done subtly
 
been doing this 2 years and honestly i think scholarship links are kinda dead for most niches like they used to be they used to move the needle but now google seems way smarter and more cautious about them so I'd say they're mostly noise unless u got a super niche site that can spin it into smth more natural.
 
do u think the tiny 2-3 backlinks from scholarships still make a difference when 70% of niche sites are just spamming them? or is google catching on?
 
if u wanna try scholarship links, keep it super natural, like a handful, not a spam fest. i've seen some legit niche sites rank with them but u gotta mix in real links too or it's sus. u ever tested blending them with other low-tier link types?
 
last month i tested dropping a few scholarship links on legit sites and honestly, some still moved the needle but it's hit or miss. u think google's finally catching on to the spammy stuff or is there still a way to do it without gettin penalized?
 
different angle: maybe the real move is building legit relationships with scholarship sites instead of spamming, might be more sustainable.
 
Scholarship links - still a legit tactic or just noise? Lol, I've seen plenty of folks claim they work like magic but in my experience it's just a waste of time. ymmv, but I think the whole thing is way overhyped
 
been doing this 3 years and I'd say yeah, scholarship links still kinda work but only if you get creative. Try using HARO or BuzzSumo to find legit opportunities, not just spammy sites. Works way better if you build real relationships.
 
Honestly I think scholarship links can still be kinda legit but only if you do it right. I tried just spammy sites and got nowhere, but when I reached out to legit scholarship programs and got personal, it actually helped. So yeah, gotta be smart about it
 
bruh, you might wanna fix the title, it should be "Scholarship links - still a legit tactic or just noise?" not "links". and yeah, targeting legit programs and customizing outreach is key, don't just
