Client Background – Young and The Invested
Young and the Invested (YATI) is a growing online community where people can improve their financial literacy and, by extension, learn how to become smarter about saving, spending, and investing their money.
Challenges
Before onboarding YATI, they struggled to hit five figures in organic traffic. They had around 20,000 keywords but had less than 200 in the top 3 spots on Google search results pages.
The purpose of Young and Invested was to spread vital information; it was a financial affiliate. The site’s value and purpose was to point its visitors towards the best financial products available.
With low-intent keywords with low traffic, it couldn’t take advantage of the information available on the site.

During our onboarding process, the task was simple. Create great content to link back to YATI’s helpful, high-intent content. With it being a financial affiliate, it would be difficult for most linking companies to land authoritative links to help improve their key rankings.
Once we received the target pages from the YATI team, Blue Tree set off to land the strongest links possible.
Link Building Strategy
We needed authoritative links. Trust is a crucial element in the financial industry. Customers need to trust a company before considering entrusting it with their money. This also applies to Google. They do not want to display results where they don’t have the utmost confidence in the website they are ranking.
However, building this trust online can be challenging, especially given the impersonal nature of digital interactions and the prevalence of online scams.
Content Quality Requirements
Financial services content is subject to strict quality requirements, as it falls under the “Your Money Or Your Life” (YMYL) category. This encompasses content that could impact a person’s health, safety, happiness, or financial stability. Financial services companies must prioritise high-quality content, as making the wrong decisions based on poor content can have serious consequences. Google recognises this and will hold YMYL pages to a higher standard, ensuring only the best content appears at the top of search engine results pages.
Methods Used for link building campaign
Blue Tree has 15+ experienced writers, and our process is simple. We pitch to the world’s leading publications with relevant and trending topics. Those topics will be relevant to our clients to enable natural link placements from high authority sites.
Once we have pitched the site and it is accepted, our writers find creative ways to mention our clients as sources and land high-quality backlinks.
With our expert writers, we jump to the front of the queue to post high-quality content ready for High DR websites. Having an expert in the field gives the publisher confidence that anything they link to as a source is relevant.
YATI are a relevant source, but having an expert writer choose YATI as a source allows them to target important pages for their rankings.
What does this mean?
We can land high authority backlinks over and over again.
