Alex: SEO, Domains & Growth

Most founders spend too much time coding and not enough time building backlinks. But backlinks are one of the biggest growth levers for SEO They help me: ⚪️rank higher in Google ⚪️get direct traffic ⚪️build trust ⚪️index pages faster One of the easiest things I do is submit my saas to relevant platforms. Not spam directories. Real places where people already search for tools, startups and solutions. Some of these platforms bring both: ⚪️backlinks ⚪️actual users I collected 30 platforms where I post my tools to grow traffic and authority step by step. The list includes: ⚪️Product Hunt ⚪️Indie Hackers ⚪️SaaSHub ⚪️DevTo ⚪️Hacker News ⚪️Reddit ⚪️LinkedIn and more I also added: ⚪️DR ⚪️backlink type ⚪️traffic data ⚪️linking websites Full list here Or watch new YouTube Video 📱 #seo #backlinks #traffic #domains

GoneDomains hit DR 40 What worked: – backlinks from high-authority websites – content that solves real problems – free tools people actually use and share #seo #backlink #domains #dropped #linkbuilding

Two years ago I sold my first and failed startup It had zero revenue. I sold it for $6,000. But estimated $10,000. I shared the full story here And I also wrote a detailed article about how to sell a startup. With 7 platforms where you can post it to sell. I got a question:

“Hey, I read your post about selling an NRG business. How did you set a fair price if there was no revenue?”

When there is no revenue, there is no formula. You can’t calculate it like a normal business. So I did it in a simple way. I treated it like a freelance job. I asked myself: – how many hours I spent – what is my hourly rate – what I would charge a client for this This gave me a base price. Then I added about +30% Why? Because people negotiate. So I left space to go lower. In the end, it’s more about feeling. You pick a price that feels fair to you. That’s it.

I want to share one simple trick I use for backlinks. It’s not fancy. But it works really well. I use Google Alerts. It’s a free tool. It watches the internet for you. When something new appears, you get an email. Feels like a personal news feed. Only about things I care about. Here is what I do: I set alerts for keywords: * backlinks * SEO * domains Every day I get fresh articles. From these emails, I quickly see: * where new articles are published * which websites talk about my niche * where my competitors show up This is super useful. Then I open these articles and check the websites. And here is the interesting part: A lot of these sites accept guest posts. So my flow is simple: * find the site * check if they accept contributions * reach out or submit content That’s it. This is how I find new places to publish. And get backlinks without wasting hours searching. One more thing I do: I track my brand. I just add my brand name as a keyword. Now every time someone mentions me, I know about it. Simple. But powerful. By the way, how to do backlinks analysis I wrote here #seo #backlink #analysis

If you want your new site to get visitors fast, don’t just wait for Google to notice. Here’s what I do with something called Parasite SEO: First, write one really good, useful article. Then post it on big platforms that Google already trusts — like Medium, LinkedIn, Reddit, or YouTube. Add one or two links to your site. This works because those platforms already rank fast. Your content can get seen in days instead of months. You get traffic, backlinks, and people start trusting your site. A few tips: • Don’t spam. Make your content real and helpful. • Post on platforms where you can set a canonical link if possible. That tells Google your site is the original. • Focus on quality, not quantity. One good article beats ten weak ones. I made a list of 17 platforms I use to get traffic and rank faster. It really works if you do it right. #seo #websites #backlinks

Update: Sold already! Didn’t expect that. It went in 2 minutes. Want more expired domains like the last one? I’m hunting thousands of domains, and some I’m not interested in.

Domain tgstat.io is free and available for registration.

Catched one more fish, but i don't need it, if your niche telegram or data science, you know what to do.

Want more Google traffic? Boost your website authority with backlinks. I did it myself: my DR went from 0 → 34 got 921 backlinks and now I get ~2,000 visitors/m Here are 5 ways that worked for me: 1. Parasite SEO Cross-post articles on trusted sites with canonical links. 2. Expired Domains Redirect expired domains with backlinks to your site. 3. Link-worthy Content Make helpful guides, surveys, or unique insights. 4. Internal Links Connect pages inside your site to pass authority. 5. Free Stuff Give tools, checklists, or reports people love to share. Small steps grow into real traffic. #seo #backlinks #marketing #ranking #tips

I see this mistake again and again Developers quit their jobs to build a startup. They work hard. Write code every day. But the startup still fails. Why? Because they focus on features instead of marketing. I did the same mistake before. When you code, it feels productive. You see new commits. New features. New UI. But in reality nothing grows. Only the codebase. No visitors No users No payments For developers, coding is comfortable. Marketing feels uncomfortable. So we avoid it. When nothing works, many developers think: “Maybe the product is bad. I should build a new one.” And the cycle repeats. New startup. New features. Still no users. This leads to burnout. Over the last few years I changed my mindset. Now I spend about: • 90% marketing • 10% coding And guess what? Traffic started to grow. Users started to come. Projects started to make money. Another big mistake developers make: They think they must learn marketing first. They read books. Watch courses. Study strategies. But marketing is not like programming. You don’t learn it from theory. You learn it by doing it. Think about painting. Who will paint better? Someone who read 100 books about painting? Or someone who painted 100 pictures? Same with marketing. Start writing. Publish posts. Test things. At first your content will be bad. That’s normal. Over time it becomes better. For me the best channels were: • SEO • YouTube • Content marketing Right now these bring 2000+ warm visitors every month. People who already search for solutions. One more useful trick. When you write a blog article: • publish it on your blog • turn it into a YouTube video • cut it into small posts • make YouTube Shorts One piece of content can work in many places. Simple system. But very powerful. If you are a developer building a startup: Start marketing today. Not after the next feature. 👀 Read full article 📱 Watch on YouTube #startup #developer #marketing #seo #youtube

As a digital nomad, I live and work in different countries. I love shooting travel videos walking on streets, showing local life, and people. It’s like long relax video with natural sound which people usually play on background when work or do something. I decided to create a website. I want to use it as a marketing tool. My goal is to make it visible on Google search and attract organic traffic. This traffic will then flow to my YouTube travel channel and help increase subscribers and video views. I bought a new domain, built a very simple travel website, and decided to show the entire SEO process live. This will not be just one video about promoting a website on Google. It will be a long series where I show everything step by step. I will do SEO for my travel project, but this approach is not limited to travel websites. You can use the same process for any niche. This includes digital services, medical services, personal blogs, and more. SEO principles work the same in all areas. If you have a new website, a site with no traffic, or great content but low rankings, welcome. Join me on this long journey. In the end, your traffic and Google rankings will start to grow. The first video covers a huge and critical topic — even more important than content: backlink building (off-page SEO).

If you don’t have authority, you don’t have trust. And without trust, rankings don’t grow.

No visitors, no metrics, no results. 👉 Full article 📺 YouTube video #SEO #backlinks #TravelSEO #LinkBuilding #BuildInPublic #TravelWebsite

My first year of entrepreneurship was nonstop work and learning. 12 to 14 hours a day. Sometimes with no days off. Now I have a validated product. The audience is growing. Money is coming in. And honestly, this pace is not sustainable. So I switched to a 4-day work schedule. - 2 days I work - 1 day I rest - 2 days I work - 2 days I rest I work no more than 4 to 5 hours a day. For the second month now, I’m traveling around Asia on a bike. I shoot travel content, meet interesting people, and change my environment. And the project is not degrading. I actually feel that traveling helps with promotion. The downside is focus. You must plan tasks very carefully and break them down. I ask myself one simple question before every task: “Will this increase revenue or traffic?” If not, I skip it.Most of the time, those tasks never come back. My goal is to work 2 to 3 hours a day and still be very effective. It’s hard for now because I’m still building a stable routine.If your project feels stuck, try resting instead of pushing harder. Change your schedule for a couple of months.But don’t let thoughts in like “I need a new product” or “I need more features”. The focus should be on marketing only. For me, SEO and YouTube work best. You build content that works long term. You live your life. Then one day, you check the stats and see growth.Not stress. Not panic. Just progress. #solo #seo #marketing #domain #business
