Google has more signals on quality than ever
Your bounce rates (back to SERPs)
Referring traffic from links
Referring traffic from social shares
Your writers’ authority & influence
Your brand’s reputation

2) Your publish button is your biggest link building weapon
Useful outreach metric: average links per post
3) Send Google brand signals they can’t ignore

(or just make your brand the market leading keyword!)
4) Your outreach placements generate natural links & co-citations themselves
