What is Link Building?
Link building at MagTimes is the practice of earning editorial-grade backlinks that compound over time. We focus on real, indexed publications and the kind of placements that survive a Google manual review.
Our link building work spans digital PR, guest posting, broken link building, resource page outreach, and unlinked brand mentions — whatever is the right move for your niche, your stage, and the outcomes you care about.
What you get
Editorial-grade work
The same standard we hold our journalism to, applied to your project. Reviewed, sourced, and shipped with care.
Transparent reporting
You always know exactly what we did, why we did it, and what moved the needle. No vanity dashboards, no hidden metrics.
Sustainable tactics
Everything we do would survive a Google manual review. We don’t use PBNs, link farms, or any other short-term trick that puts your site at risk.
Senior team
Your project is run by senior practitioners, not handed off to a junior. We do the work ourselves, and we stand behind it.
How it works
- Discovery — we learn your business, your audience, and the outcomes that matter to you.
- Plan — we build a custom plan with clear deliverables, timelines, and pricing.
- Execute — we ship the work, with weekly updates and a shared project board.
- Measure — we report on what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d do differently next time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between link building and guest posting?
Guest posting is one tactic within link building. Our link building work also includes digital PR, broken link building, resource page outreach, and unlinked brand mentions — whatever is the right move for your niche and stage.
How do you measure success?
We report on referring domains placed, domain authority of the publications, organic traffic movement, and keyword ranking changes. We do not pad reports with vanity metrics that do not move your business.
Do you use AI to write content?
We use AI to speed up research and outlining. The actual writing is done by senior humans, and every piece goes through editorial review. AI-written content without human review is the fastest way to get a manual action.
How long until I see results?
Link building is a compounding investment. Most clients see meaningful movement in 3-6 months, with the strongest results coming at 6-12 months. Anyone promising you rankings in 30 days is selling something else.
Can you work in [my niche]?
We work in software, SaaS, AI, crypto/Web3, fintech, and business. We do not work in health, gambling, adult, or supplements. If you are unsure, ask — we will tell you straight.
Will you share examples of past work?
We share anonymized examples of placements, domain authority ranges, and traffic impact in the consultation. We do not publish a public portfolio because that would expose our clients.
