What is tier 1, 2 and 3 link building?

[GeethaN]

Tier 1: Build a repository of spun articles, which are published on web 2.0 sites like Blogger, Tumblr and WordPress, with a link back to your money site. ... Tier 2: Use automated link building programs to create links to Tier 1 properties. Links will include, web 2.0, bookmarks, forum posts etc.

This is a fabled backlinking strategy- still works in some niches where Google hasn’t gotten smart enough. But I’d like to warn you: It’s not worth working on if it isn’t long term.

It works like this:

You build links from quality tier 1 or level 1 backlink properties. These are usually quality websites, Web 2.0 profiles, or PBNs.

You then build tier 2 or level 2 backlinks to these tier 1 web properties. These can be a bit more low quality- Parasite Web pages, URL Redirects or authority blog or forum profiles.

It's pretty simple stuff: You seek to build links to pages that link to your website — in whatever way you want to do that. (With the first tier being building links to your website.) You can use social media to promote the articles that link your site if you like.

Put simply, tiered link building is the process of building backlinks to your backlinks. The idea is that you can manufacture authority and pass PageRank to your webpage by creating and building tiered links in bulk, with your webpage at the end of the chain.

Tier 1: Links to your site. Tier 2: Links to the pages containing your tier 1 links. Tier 3: Links to the pages containing your tier 2 links. Simple enough concept, but the real question is why.
