SEO backlink strategies for bootstrappers
With all the SEO threads lately I'm curious what Indie Hackers are doing with regards to link building.
Any success stories or tips for bootstrapped SAAS marketers out there?
Or do you think link building is hyped up by marketing agencies and spammers.
In my view it is fairly essential in any slightly competitive market, but I also really dislike doing it for clients, unless it is part of a digital PR campaign which scales and is fun to plan. Getting links that make a difference is really hard work so I feel for anyone else out there working on this.
