Case Studies

University resource pages represent the highest-quality backlink sources available. We have secured 205 placements across university resource pages in health sciences, education, and career development niches.

These placements span institutions including UCLA, Northwestern University, University of Arizona, Texas A&M University, and Bryn Mawr College. Each placement was earned through manual, relationship-based outreach to university administrators and resource page maintainers.

Key Metrics:

• 205 unique .edu domain placements
• 100% white-hat, zero paid links
• Referral traffic from active resource pages
• Editorially placed on curated, hand-maintained pages

These links establish authority in education-adjacent niches and provide both immediate referral traffic and long-term SEO value.

Government and public sector domains are notoriously difficult to earn links from. Most government sites rarely add external links, and their outreach processes are complex and lengthy. We successfully earned 56 placements from .gov domains.

These placements span state education departments, county library systems, city government portals, and federal agency resource pages. Each placement required deep understanding of government workflows, patient relationship-building, and positioning our clients' content as genuine resources to government agencies.

Key Metrics:

• 56 unique .gov domain placements
• Campaign duration: 18+ months
• Federal, state, county, and city-level placements
• Placed on pages that rarely accept external links

.gov links provide strong trust signals and establish clients as credible resources at the government level.

Over 7 years, we have built 2,891 unique referring domains across 56 client websites. This represents 4,439 total placements across our complete link-building toolkit: resource pages, guest posts, niche edits, and broken link building combined.

Beyond the 205 .edu and 56 .gov placements, our portfolio spans nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, industry associations, and professional networks.

Verified Portfolio:

• 4,439 total placements
• 2,891 unique referring domains
• 1,878 resource page placements
• 205 .edu and 56 .gov placements
• 56 client sites over 7+ years

These campaigns prove that strategic, relationship-based link building compounds over time, creating a strong foundation for long-term organic growth.

An English language reference site offering synonyms, antonyms, a visual dictionary, and word puzzle tools engaged us for a multi-year link building campaign. Over the course of 3 years, we secured 647 unique placements across highly relevant domains in the education, English language, and vocabulary learning space.

This single client's campaign demonstrates what sustained, strategic link building accomplishes. Rather than chasing quick wins, we built relationships with university writing centers, school library resource pages, literacy organizations, and educational nonprofits.

Campaign Highlights:

• 647 total placements from 487 unique domains
