Once a month, my team and I will be compiling the best, brightest, and most baffling things we come across while building backlinks day in and day out. We will be covering everything from last month's hottest backlinks, most ridiculous HARO pitches, funniest memes, backlinking tips and tricks, and so much more.

So if you're interested in learning more about organic backlinking strategies, tips, red flags, or if you're just here for the laughs, we're happy to have you!

Cheers,

Some Backlink Humor
The best of the best from HARO each month

HARO, or Help a Reporter Out, is an online platform where journalists post inquiries for experts to weigh in on topics they are covering. We monitor platforms like HARO daily for our clients and colleagues, and we often run into funny or downright odd requests. Some are just too good to not share...

Did this reporter actually consume ONLY Salmon for an entire week?

‍Yes.

Did they really die?

‍No.

‍Would I ever eat Salmon sourced via a HARO query?

Eh, seems fishy.

Did the Salmon ask for a backlink in return?

‍Most Definitely. ‍

Backlinks Of The Month

Every month we will be highlighting some of the better backlinks the Mad Mango

Marketing team has built as of late.

This interview was hosted by The Monitor, a Marymount Manhattan College publication, in which Mikhail Anderson discussed his switch-up from being a graphic design major to starting his very own studio in the heart of NYC, First Class Tattoo.

This piece not only speaks volumes about Mikhails entrepreneurial drive, but also proves that local establishments, such as schools and newspapers, see real value in local success stories like Mikahils and can lend themselves to be a fantastic conduit to get your story out there!

We developed this article in collaboration with DriftHook, a platform whose primary goal is to turn any average Joe into a fly fishing expert. In this post, Noisy River Outdoors and Drifthook get into the nitty-gritty of choosing the right fly-fishing kayak, as well as shining a spotlight on their new product, the Flip-Kat.

It dives into the key things to look for—like kayak type, design, composition, and special features for fishing, all while keeping an eye on getting that perfect balance of stability, speed, and comfort. With DriftHooks primary focus being fly-fishing, this article does a fantastic job of educating its readers on a relevant topic while still including valuable language and references to Noisy River and their revolutionary kayak.
