Link Building That Delivers Results: Growth and Stability for Two Trading Niche Projects by Phoenix Project

Overview

A client from the trading niche approached us intending to increase traffic and improve search rankings. They owned two websites:

• a multilingual trading aggregator, and
• an analytics and education platform.

Both required building authority and strengthening their backlink profiles, but each started from a different baseline.

The main challenge was the high level of competition and the need to create a safe and natural link-building strategy across multiple countries.

Project 1

Project 2

Solution

The Phoenix Project team proposed a tailored approach: two websites – two strategies, with one shared objective:
building a strong, natural, and scalable backlink profile with stable growth and focus on priority pages.

Process

Stage 1 — Analysis

We began with an in-depth audit of both websites and their competitive landscape.

For the trading aggregator, we identified the most valuable language versions and regional donor sources.
For the second website, we prioritized backlink quality: cleaned harmful links, balanced the anchor profile, and developed a safe growth strategy based on DR and niche competition.

Stage 2 — Strategy Development

We created two independent but coordinated link-building strategies:

• For the aggregator: increase the number of relevant mentions, strengthen brand presence, and build trust with search engines.
• For the analytics website: focus on organic traffic growth, boosting landing pages, and ranking informational intent keywords.

We set a safe monthly link acquisition pace, defined target countries and language regions, and selected high-DR platforms with real traffic.

Both strategies included Tier-2 to Tier-4 link reinforcement to improve indexing and maximize the impact of Tier-1 links.

Stage 3 — Implementation & Monitoring

During execution, the Phoenix Project team used only verified and safe link sources.

For the aggregator (within 2 months):

• 1 outreach backlink
• 475 submissions
• 200 crowd links
• 180 directories
• 300 Web 3.0 links

For the second website (within 3 months):

• 13 outreach backlinks
• 217 submissions
• 97 crowd links
• 92 directories
• 245 Web 3.0 links

We used Ahrefs (DR tracking, donor evaluation, anchor checks) and Linkbox.pro (indexing tracking and link growth dynamics).

Our team analyzed how links influenced keyword movement and adjusted anchor pacing and acquisition tempo accordingly.

Results

As a result, we built a strong, clean, and long-term sustainable backlink profile. Our key achievements:

Project 1 (Aggregator):

• Domain Rating increased from 1 → 30 — ~30× growth.
• Referring domains: 1 → 250+ — a 250× increase.
• Organic traffic: 1 → 600+ monthly visits — from near-zero to a stable flow.
• Keyword visibility: 10 → 350+ indexed phrases and growing.

Project 2 (Analytics platform):

• Domain Rating grew from 4 → 19.
• Referring domains: 98 → 338+ — 3.4× growth.
• Organic traffic: 18 → 115 visits (+538.9%).
• Keyword visibility: 239 → 508, supporting ranking stability and traffic growth.

Growth was consistent and stable, with no sudden spikes or penalties.
Thanks to Tier-2 to Tier-4 reinforcement, links became more indexable, stronger, and longer-lasting.

As a result, both websites improved search coverage, domain trust, indexation speed, and keyword stability.

Client Outcome

After three months of systematic work, the client saw significant organic growth and measurable improvements in authority metrics.

Since both websites demonstrated growth above 500%, the business owner was more than satisfied.
Here is what the client said:

“I’ve been searching for a reliable link-building partner for a long time and have had several bad experiences. With Phoenix Project, it’s completely different: communication is live and transparent, the approach is flexible, and the team truly understands the business. We reviewed the strategy together, selected placements, and it never felt like ‘pay and wait.’ Phoenix is a true partner, not just a contractor.”

Conclusion

This case demonstrates that even in highly competitive niches, significant and stable growth is achievable, but only when strategy, execution, and communication work together.
