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.

04

Low-Quality Cannabis Links Carry Elevated Penalty Risk

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.

FAQ

CBD link building questions answered.

Do you actually have publishers that accept CBD content?
Yes. We have a dedicated set of publishers across health, wellness, cannabis industry, lifestyle and business verticals that accept CBD, hemp and cannabis editorial content and we have them listed in a separate inventory away from our main publisher network as almost all sites will not accept CBD content.
Can you build links for both CBD eCommerce stores and informational sites?
We create high-quality links to CBD product pages, category pages, blog content, and other informational resources. Looking for an eCommerce link building strategy? Our eCommerce link building service includes product level targeting for every industry and now CBD.eCommerce link building service covers product-level targeting across all verticals including CBD.
Is CBD link building riskier than other niches?
Only if you are using really bad link sellers. The CBD niche is full of spammers and Google is trying hard to squash the industry. We actually care about our publishers and only allow legitimate and high quality sites that meet our Traffic, Editorial and Content Quality standards. For CBD brands the best type of backlinks they can get is from relevant and authority sites using editorial links.Editorial link building from credible sites is the safest approach for CBD brands.
Do you cover THC and marijuana content, or just CBD?
We cover CBD, hemp, cannabis and THC. Publisher acceptance is on a case by case basis. Generally, we focus on trade media and health publications in cannabis markets where the sale of cannabis is legal.
Can CBD link building be white-labeled for agencies?
Yes. Agencies managing CBD clients can outsource link building through SERPpro with full white-label Yes. Agencies managing CBD (Cannabis, CBD, and Hemp) campaigns can outsource their link building efforts to SERPpro and we will provide all relevant white-label reporting to reflect the agency brand. CBD placements will also be reported in the same manner as all other relevant placements as part of a client’s broader SEO reporting efforts.
How many CBD links do I need per month?
Average results are achieved with 8-12 placements per month. This is due in part to the fact that having a smaller pool of qualified publishers really brings to light how important having a consistent supply of links can be. Building authority online generally takes time, so a more consistent approach to buying large numbers of links at once-ie. achieving the average with 8-15 monthly placements-should prove more effective in the long run.
Do you offer link insertions for CBD?
Yes. Link insertions Yes. Link insertions to existing CBD and health-related articles are typically available in a faster time frame and at a lower cost than with a guest post. Availability may vary and is subject to the current inventory of CBD publishers.
Can CBD link building be combined with digital PR?
Yes. Digital PR Yes. We can pitch your CBD brand stories, industry data & trends to health, wellness & cannabis publications. By combining editorial link building with digital PR efforts, we can help build a robust authority profile for your CBD brand.
