01What Free DR92 Backlinks Are and How They Work

Free DR92 backlinks are links from websites with a domain rating of 92 or higher that you earn without paying for them. In this episode, Julian Goldie explains how he got links from huge sites like New York Post and Daily Mail. These are do-follow links, meaning Google counts them for SEO.

The trick is simple. You create a story that journalists want to write about. Then you send it to them with a short, human pitch.

When they publish it, they mention you and link back to your site. That's it.

You don't need to know anyone. You don't need to pay. You just need to follow a clear process and be consistent.

02The 4-Step Process for Getting Free DR92 Backlinks

Julian breaks the whole method into four steps. Each one is important, but step three is where most people fail.

  • Production: Come up with story ideas that journalists care about.
  • Research: Turn your idea into a real story using data.
  • Outreach: Find journalists and send them a pitch email.
  • Porting: Check your results and find new mentions.

Understanding these steps helps you see the full picture. You are not just building links. You are building relationships with journalists.

03Step 1: Production – Find Story Ideas for Journalists

Production sounds fancy, but it just means creating ideas. The key is that the ideas are for journalists, not for yourself. You want to hand them a story they would love to write.

First, ask what you are an expert in. For example, if you run an AI automation community like the AI profit boardroom, your story should tie into AI. Then open Google News and search for trending topics like 'AI changing small businesses.' Use the tools filter to see the last year.

Take it further with government data. Journalists trust it, and it is free. Combine a hot topic, a fresh angle, and new data to create a story.

Julian suggests picking at least five ideas because not all will land.

04Step 2: Research – Turn Data into a Story

Research is where you collect data and find the interesting angle. Government statistics sites are gold for this. They have data on jobs, population, business, and tech, all free to use.

Remember, data alone is not a story. It is just numbers. Your job is to find the story hiding inside.

For example, 'How many small businesses will use AI by next year' plus 'what it means for jobs' becomes a real story.

Then write a press release. Use a clean format with a headline, subheadline, and a short 'about you' section. You can ask ChatGPT for a template or search online.

The goal is to look professional.

05Step 3: Outreach – Pitch Journalists Like a Human

Outreach is where most people mess up. You need to find journalists who write about your topic. Go back to Google News, look at articles, and find the writer's name.

Click on it to see their email and what else they have written.

This tells you what they care about, so you can pitch them a story they actually want. The biggest mistake is letting AI write your entire pitch. Journalists can smell it.

Everyone is doing it, so it all sounds the same.

Write your pitch like a real human. Keep it short, friendly, and to the point. Attach your press release.

Then remember, outreach is a numbers game. The more good journalists you contact, the more links you get.

06Step 4: Porting – Check Your Wins for Free

Porting is the fun part. You check your results every day. You can use fancy tools, but you do not need them.

Go to Google and search for your name or your press release topic.

Click tools and filter to the last week. This shows every fresh mention of you, including on big sites, for free. It also helps you track what is working.

Julian says this is a nice little bonus because you can see exactly which pitches landed. You can then repeat what works and improve what does not.

07Why These Links Matter for AI SEO

These links are not just for regular SEO. Julian explains that AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity decide who is an expert based on who appears in big trusted news sites. So having links from high-authority sites can help you get cited by AI.

This is a way to future-proof your business. It is not just an SEO trick for today. It sets you up for tomorrow.

Even if you are not famous, it can work. Julian says he got links from Forbes when nobody knew who he was. You just need to follow the steps and stick with it.

08Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

There are a few important tips and limits to keep in mind. First, do not fake expertise. Set up a simple website and show you are a real expert.

Journalists can check.

Second, do not let AI write your whole pitch. It gets deleted fast. Third, be patient.

It is a numbers game, and not every pitch will land.

Also, remember that the example website uses AI automation. It shows that even a brand new site can earn these links. An established site definitely can.

09Who This Is For and Why It Matters

This method is for anyone who wants high-authority backlinks without spending money. It is great for business owners, marketers, and SEO professionals. If you want more leads and traffic, these links can help.

The stakes are high. High-authority links from sites with millions of visitors can boost your Google rankings. They also build your reputation as an expert.
