If you could share any case study including how they got the link (optional), why it was so effective, and what the results were over time, it would really help me and others understand the real impact of a well placed backlink.
There will undoubtedly be instances where obtaining a connection on the BBC, for example, causes a spike in traffic, which in turn generates more links and produces exponential outcomes. Actually, I think that occurs frequently (I’ve seen it on a smaller scale, but most digital PRs would target several high-quality publications rather than one very strong connection).
That makes sense! So one high profile can be able to create a snowball effect. Thanks for sharing!
That would be very difficult if not impossible to prove an increase in performance was the direct result of one link, due to the amount of time it would take for Google to notice the link and for those changes to be reflected in search results, not to mention a multitude of other factors that could have affected performance.
Backlink profiles are huge. But there’s only one type of site that gives a magical backlink.
One notable case study involved a tech blog that secured a backlink from a high-authority site in their niche. They achieved this by offering exclusive content and insights that appealed to the target site’s audience. This backlink led to a significant boost in their search rankings and referral traffic, resulting in a 40% increase in organic visits over six months. The high relevance and authority of the link made a substantial difference.
