Timing of Tiered Link Building

The other day I've been working on a tiered project of mine when I suddenly realised that the way I build links might be completely wrong, because I don't know how GSA SER builds links to verified links of another project if the upper tier project hasn't finished yet.

Let me explain to you what I mean using a simple example:
Say we have a project called T1 and another project T2 building links to the verified links of T1. Now let's say T1 has finished and successfully built and verified 10 links. When starting T2 now it'll start building links to these verified links of T1.
  • My first question here: Does SER automatically build links evenly to all the verified links of T1 or is it possible that 1 link might get noticeably more backup from lower tiers than the other?


And now let's say I duplicate the project setup and create the exact same structure, but this time I let T1 and T2 run simulatenously, meaning T1 will continously add new links to the verified column, while T2 keeps building links to all verified T1 links.

  • Will this setup make an even distribution of backup links from T2 pointing to T1 links impossible, or does SER 'remember' how many links it has built to each verified T1 link and try to keep things even?


And finally the last scenario is the exact same one like above, we let T1 and T2 run simultaneously, but this time we'll use SER's pause feature.

This is a little harder to explain, so I'll explain it, using another example.
Settings are:
T1 - Pause project after 1 submission
T2 - Pause project after 1 Submission per URL

IMPORTANT This isn't neccessarily how it works, it's how I assume it does



Day1
Tier1 builds 1 link: Link A
Tier 2 builds 1 link: 1 -> A

Day2
Tier 1 builds 1 link: Link B
Tier 2 builds 2 links: 1 -> A, 1 -> B

Day3
Tier 1 builds 1 link: Link C
Tier 2 builds 3 links: 1 -> A, 1 -> B, 1 -> C

Result: Link A is now backed up with 3 links, Link B with 2 and Link C with 1. If I keep this up, I'll eventually end up with an incredibly unbalanced link pyramid.

  • My question here is: Is this how SER builds links if I have both T1 and T2 run simultaneously? Or does SER automatically even out the amound of links build to each link of the upper tier (which would mean that 'Pause the Project after XX submissions' would actually refer to the number of links build to each link in total and not per iteration, every time it gets unpaused)



I'd love to hear your opinions on this, since the answer to these questions are crucial for every tiered link project and would affect my whole approach on how and when to start building links.

If there's anything you need me to explain better, please let me know.



Thanks.

    I'm curious about this as well.

    What you might want to use is the tier filter option here.There you can define what links to take from the main project to create backlinks for. You can e.g. set it up to only build links from urls created 3 days ago and only to those being newer than 10 days.

    is there a limit in GSA to the number of tiers you can have or can you go on indefinitely, T4 T5 T6 ...?
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    There is no limit at all.

    There's a theoretical limit. You reach it once you run out of targets to post to, assuming each lower tier has 2 or more links pointing to 1 link of the upper tier. The exponential growth of links per tier might bite you in the ass. But apart from that, no limit.
