If you are using automation it will work, but you need to be using High Quality Content to minimize the chances of real traffic bouncing off the page and you will also need to take time to create Great Headlines & Descriptions.

Also make sure your site Is properly set up in Webmaster Tools & Analytics
And I would also suggest that you add This Plugin To Your Site

I like to create 300 to 500 video sharing site accounts with the bulk account creator in Video Synd Alpha or Traffic Scout Alpha tools and I will reuse these accounts multiple times.

These accounts can be created in 3 or 4 clicks as we use our own email servers for account creation and we can create unlimited profiles with my Alpha SEO tools.

All you need is to use quality proxies and a captcha service.
I suggest to use the use the Long Tail Alpha tab which is in most Alpha tools to create unique headlines.

I try to used closest grouped keywords from the adword keyword planner for long tail alpha titles which will be titles used in the 2nd tier link blast and also use the automated thumbnail creator.

For the video I like to use Clipman web app or you can use viddictive or videlligence tools to do the same type of video. These are easy to do videos that take 2 or 3 minutes to create using templates and you just add the url of your landing page and it will create a video using some text and images from the url provided and you have choices at every step.

One link in description to youtube video.

I have ranked competitive keywords with zero backlinks but the rankings will not stick unless we maintain it with some basic and simple principles.

Always use high quality links only for you're first tier links to your landing page. We all know that guest post links are good despite Matt Cutts warnings a few years back, the trick is to get links from real authority sites with real traffic.

The main problem is that writing guest posts for decent sites is time consuming as it often has to be epic content of very high quality.

BUT..

I have a solution or two! 🙂

The first is that our team are doing outreach and we are not asking for guest posting opportunities, instead we are asking to add a link to existing articles as it's fast and easy and not hard to do at all.

Of course this costs money but i rather pay a few extra bucks than site and write epic content for someone else’s blog and the RankAttack system is designed to be super simple remember?

High quality pbn links can be good if sites look real and they are built on quality spam free domains but i prefer my way to just get a link in an existing article on a real site with traffic and backlinks and some authority.

It's job done and move on and we keep the momentum going with our super simple and effective ranking system without breaking a sweat.

How many links are needed really depends on the quality of the sites providing them.

A high quality press release will increase the number of referring domain links which is another major ranking factor for 2018 and all done with just one piece of content too.

So we have reached out to a few people and found someone to write the press release and distribute it for at least 400 links and as shown in the video some of the sites linking in have pretty decent SEO metrics.

Again it's job done and keep moving forward even if it does cost some dollars.
If using press releases then use the opportunity to embed the YouTube video in the press release too.

This way you don’t need to spend time with building big PBN networks with lots of sites.

With this method you can later redirect the topical mini site to specific blog posts.

I like to do this with sites for free tools as this gets traffic when you get ranking for the main keyword.
