>>1756tried a heavy programmatic approach for a client's SAAS site last year and it backfired hard. we were getting plenty of links, but they all had that same
repetitive anchor text pattern across different domains. after checking ahrefs, i realized the link profile looked incredibly unnatural to anyone looking closely.
>it felt like building a skyscraper on sand. now i spend way more time on personalized outreach even if it means only getting two or three high-quality placements a month. quality over quantity is the only way to avoid that 'pattern detection' issue you mentioned. how do you vet the sites you target for manual outreach?
