Watching this old webinar replay from like 2018 and it's all about tiered link building super structured pyramids, PBNs as T1, web 2.0s as T2, social bookmarks as T3. It's kinda nostalgic seeing that spreadsheet mentality makes me feel like my grandpa talking about building his own furniture. I see posts about it now but nobody ever shows the numbers like they actually built a pyramid and tracked ranking movement week by week or if they just sprinkled some garbage links on expired Tumblrs and called it a day, anyone giving advice w/o posting a screenshot of their stats is just guessing and wasting everyone's time. So what's the deal, is it still a viable strategy with enough buffer zones between tiers or is the juice not worth the squeeze given how long it takes to set up legit tier one properties that won't get flagged

Honestly I think it depends on your niche and what you're trying to achieve. If you got the time and resources to build legit tier one assets that won't get flagged, it can still pay off, but most folks I know just sprinkle in some quality tier one and focus on smart tier two and three links that are easier to scale. The thing is, the old school pyramids can be kinda overkill if you don't have a solid backlink profile to back it up or if the Tier 1s aren't really high
 
Link pyramids are like vacuum tubes in the tech world. They can still work but good luck finding someone willing to openly share results without the smoke and mirrors. Data doesn't lie, but your tracker might.
 
lol, everyone acting like tiered pyramids are some ancient relic. man, if you think those tactics are dead you clearly haven't been paying attention. sure, you gotta be smarter about your tier one assets now but they still work if you do it right. the problem is most people just sprinkle some garbage links and call it a pyramid. real talk, i wanna see the proof, not just screenshots of backlinks. if you building legit tiers with actual juice and avoiding the spammy blowups, it can still move the serps. but yeah, takes patience and some real link vetting. not all pyramids are created equal and the ones built with trash are just noise.
 
yeah, imo, they can still work if you actually put in legit effort with tier one assets. but most ppl just sprinkle some junk and call it a day. and honestly, trying to track real results with a proper pyramid setup is rare.
 
Oof. Pyramid links? Still kicking? Please. That ship sailed. Everyone pretending they have "proof" just sprinkled some junk links and now they're experts. If you wanna track legit results, you need real data not screenshots of ranking spikes after buying a few expired domains. And let's be real, most don't even know what a true tier one asset looks like anymore.
 
How many of those who swear by pyramids actually share real data or just flex some screenshot? smh. If it's so effective, why is everyone hiding the results?
 
lOL, still kicking? Please. Pyramid links are the definition of a guessing game. You build a shiny tier one, sprinkle some junk tiers and then hope for the best. That's not a strategy, that's throwing darts blindfolded.

Strategy, maybe vintage wines got some bite but my stats say otherwise, old school pyramids are like trying to run Windows 95 in 2025 and expecting it to perform, nobody's showing real results because they know the game has moved on and just throwing garbage links on expired Tumblrs isn't cutting it anymore, if you want sustainable CR and ROI you gotta adapt and build real assets or just keep guessing and wasting time.
 
Haha, link pyramids? man it's all about the loophole but yeah in 2025? more like relics, but you never know sometimes a sneaky tactic still works if you cloak it right and target the right GEOs, gotta keep testing and not get comfy with just one method even if it's old school.

link pyramids in 2025. Still alive in some circles, but it's like using a rotary phone in the smartphone era.

yeah, some folks still swear by them but honestly it's like trying to keep a smoke signal alive in a text message world. heatmaps and session recordings show the real story, if your audience's creep isn't jumping off, pyramids won't save your CVR. rinse and repeat, but I wouldn't bet the farm on pyramids being the secret sauce in 2025.

Honestly, I still see some legit use cases if you know what you're doing. The key is really in the execution, cloaking, and keeping everything fresh. It's not about blasting pyramids everywhere but using them selectively, targeting low-profile niches, and mixing in other tactics. In my experience, when done right, they can still push through the noise, but you gotta stay agile and keep testing. Most people dismiss them out of hand but sometimes the old tricks just need a fresh coat of paint.

Honestly I think it's a risky move to still be doing link pyramids in 2025. Sure, some niche corners might tolerate it but you gotta keep in mind Google's algorithm is way smarter now. You start relying on those outdated link schemes and all you do is burn your site's authority faster than a hot knife through butter. And from what I've seen, a lot of the folks still doing pyramids tend to ignore the bigger picture - which is their CAC and LTV. If you're just stacking links without a solid foundation or without auditing the parent company's financial health, you're skating on thin ice. The game is more about sustainable growth now, not just chasing quick rankings with dodgy tactics. Plus, I doubt many of those pyramids are still scalable without risking a penalty. It's like playing Russian roulette with your backlink profile. If you ask me, the smarter play is investing in genuine content and backlinks that actually build authority long-term. Promoting pyramids with caution - that's a lesson I learned the hard way.
 
lol yeah, pyramid schemes in seo are basically the ebay of link building now. the big picture is, if you're still relying on old school tiered links in 2025, you're just throwing money into the void. residential proxies and fresh stacks are the only way to keep it clean and scalable, everything else is just a toy. gotta stay stealthy or your site becomes yesterday's news.

yeah, Void nailed it. It's like trying to run a fax machine in the age of smartphones. Sure, a few old school dinos swear by pyramids but most of the SERPs are tuned into the new signals now. You keep stacking those tiered links and it's just dead weight, spammy as hell. The real juice is in high-quality content and a clean backlink profile, not some antiquated scheme that Google's already figured out. But I get it, some folks are desperate to cling to their old tricks, like a life raft in a sea of algorithm updates. It's just not the game anymore and honestly, wasting time on pyramids is like trying to polish a turd - looks shiny for a second but still a turd.
