but there's a better way:
i've found hundreds of simple calculators getting links from major sites - with over 100 referring domains each.
the traditional approach to link building is broken:
- journalists delete most outreach emails instantly
- response rates have dropped below 1%
- publishers charge $500+ for basic mentions
- building relationships takes months or years
but what if you could get these links naturally, while also having something worth pitching?
here's what's working right now:
- build interactive tools that solve real problems
- create data-driven statistics pages journalists love to reference
- design custom calculators that go viral on social media
- develop unique visualizations that tell compelling stories
the best part?
these linkable assets:
- generate high-quality backlinks for years to come
- can be built in weeks, not months
- make outreach 10x more effective (editors love featuring useful tools)
- work in almost any niche
