Rules — read before any outreach
  1. Never pay for a link. Paid links = Google penalty. This is what the disavow file you just filed is for.
  2. No PBNs, no link exchanges. Pattern detection = site-wide penalty.
  3. Vary anchor text. Mix branded / URL / generic / topical. Never let every link say the same target keyword.
  4. Relevance beats volume. 1 link from sUAS News > 100 generic directory links.
  5. Build slow. 3–5 quality links/month. Going 3 → 50 in 30 days looks unnatural.
  6. Both follow & nofollow count. Don't refuse Yelp/BBB nofollow links.
  7. Audit monthly. Check Search Console > Links report. Any new Fiverr-style spam → disavow immediately.
