Why CBD Is Different
Why CBD link building is one of the hardest niches in SEO.
Cbd content is frequently rejected by publishers. Google treats Cbd Ymyl content the same as any other Ymyl content. Low quality cannabis related links can bring severe penalties.
01
Most Publishers Reject CBD and Cannabis Content
Almost every major editorial network and CBD-focused blog bans CBD content. They prohibit it through their ad networks, which prevent any cannabis-related products from being displayed.
02
Google Applies YMYL Scrutiny to CBD Claims
When a website talks about CBD content they are actually entering into the YMYL (Your Money Your Life) category and are making a health claim which was ruled on by Google.
03
Competitors Are Limited by the Same Publisher Shortage
All that being said, due to the restricted pool of publishers available in the CBD space, all CBD brands are competing for a limited number of ad slots, with only a handful of brands able to secure paid ad placements.
The CBD niche attracts spam. PBNs, thin affiliate sites, and low-quality directories flood the space. Building links from vetted editorial sites The CBD niche is a total spammine. A ton of low quality directories.
05
CBD eCommerce Sites Need Product Page Authority
If you are a CBD company that sells products online, then you need to get backlinks to your product pages, category pages and product comparison pages.
