ZenRows offers web scraping tools for pros. But no matter how slick your product is, if no one sees it, it might as well not exist. We didn’t just fix that—we kicked the doors off the algorithm. ZenRows helps developers scrape data without getting blocked. Their tools bypass IP bans, captchas, browser fingerprinting—you name it. They had the tech. They had the use cases. What they didn’t have? Authority.

Despite having stellar blog content and in-demand solutions, they were buried under competitors with deeper backlink profiles. Their problem wasn’t quality. It was invisibility.

The Play: Link Insertions With Swagger

We took a different route. No guest posts, no link swaps, no desperate cold outreach. Instead, we found high-authority domains already ranking in adjacent verticals—marketing, SaaS, data, eCommerce—and surgically inserted backlinks into content that already had traction.

This is called contextual link insertion, and when done correctly, it can push your rankings without the months-long slog traditional methods require.

The Link Blitz: Feb–May 2025

• February: 12 backlinks placed across blogs like CyberPanel, MagePlaza, and SmartReach. Anchors targeted: “web scraping proxy,” “browser fingerprinting.”
• March: 1 link, but hyper-relevant and on a high-authority blog. Sometimes, one right placement is better than five average ones.
• April: 10 links placed targeting product pages and high-commercial-intent queries like “Amazon scraper API.”
• May: 10 links targeting homepage and eCommerce subpages. We went wide and deep to build topic coverage and brand signal.

Anchor Texts That Actually Work

Most people still think stuffing keywords in anchor texts works. It doesn’t. We used:

• Exact match
• Partial match
• Branded + contextual
• Natural phrases (“learn more about scraping without getting blocked”)

This natural distribution helped ZenRows look legit—not like a bot farm with a blog.

Results: Boom!

• +65% organic traffic in 4 months
• “Web scraping proxy” → jumped to #7
• “Amazon scraper API” → cracked the top 10 (from nowhere)

Why It Worked?

We weren’t trying to game Google. We helped it understand ZenRows’ relevance. The difference?

• We picked blogs with existing authority.
• We matched link placement to intent and context.
• We spaced link velocity to look organic—not suspicious.

What ZenRows Gained Beyond Rankings?

• New partnerships from brands who discovered them via referral links
• More predictable content ROI—thanks to increased page visibility

Want In?

If you’re serious about scaling your SaaS, it’s time to stop throwing money at Google Ads hoping for magic. You need backlinks that hit like a freight train—and a team that knows how to wield them.
