Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

link-building scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to link-building — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Guides link building strategy: acquiring quality backlinks to improve domain authority and rankings.

  • Guest posting: Contribute to relevant publications; earn links
  • Journalist requests: Respond to #JournoRequest; provide quotes/assets
  • Digital PR: PR campaigns for backlinks and E-E-A-T — see eeat-signals

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, audience, and proof points.

Identify:

  1. Current backlink profile: Domain authority, referring domains
  2. Target keywords: What to rank for
  3. Linkable assets: Research, tools, guides, data, testimonials
Strategy Description
Content marketing Create link-worthy content (guides, research, tools)
Guest posting Write for relevant sites with author bio link
Broken link building Find broken links, suggest your content as replacement
Unlinked brand mentions Turn mentions into links via outreach
Journalist requests Respond to #JournoRequest; provide quotes/assets
Directory and curated list submission Get listed on directories (Taaft, Product Hunt, G2) and curated "best-of" lists; cold-start channel—see directory-submission for submission workflow, cold-start-strategy for launch plan
Digital PR Press releases, news, expert quotes; earn authoritative links at scale
Partnerships Partner links, co-marketing
