Link pyramid tier 1 tier 2 tier 3 SEO backlinks for SEO are divided into two main types: anchor and non-anchor backlinks. Anchors are linked to the main keyword, since this keyword plays a crucial role for SEO performance. Non-anchor backlinks are equally significant – they represent plain URLs, and the ability to click plays a key role as it creates a route for bots; bots go the target page and deeper pages, that helps your project. Progress reports are delivered via tools like Majestic, SEMrush, and Ahrefs. In cases where backlink counts are lower for a specific tool, I report on the platform with a larger number of backlinks as a result of indexing lag.
