Fast Turn PCB: 97 guest posts, verified link by link

Rank Roots ran a four-batch guest-posting campaign for Fast Turn PCB, a printed-circuit-board manufacturer. For every article the client set two anchor texts and the Fast Turn page each should link to; Rank Roots placed the articles, recorded each one in a shared report, and checked the live pages against the brief.

The campaign at a glance

Recorded volume and verified results are different things. The 97 articles and 194 links are the recorded campaign. The verified figures describe only the 83 pages that could be opened automatically; the 14 sites that blocked automated access are neither passed nor failed. The Ahrefs figures below are third-party estimates for the website, not proof of what the guest posts caused.

How the campaign was run

The workflow is described only as far as the project records show it. Activities the records do not evidence, such as publisher outreach, vetting and editorial approval, are not claimed.

1. Capture the client’s link requirements. For each article the client specified two anchor texts and the exact Fast Turn page each should link to: 194 instructions in all. The October batch also records a topic, planned domain and draft.
2. Organise requirements by service page and batch. January focused on flexible and HDI PCBs, April on rigid-flex and high-frequency, and July and October added prototype, assembly and manufacturing pages.
3. Place the articles and record the live URLs. Each placement is logged with its publisher, both anchors and targets, and the live URL, in one row of a shared report, with one tab per batch.
4. Compare live articles with the recorded brief. Every URL was opened on 22 October 2026 and each loaded page was checked link by link against its recorded anchors and target pages.
5. Report delivery and performance separately. The report is shared as a public, view-only sheet; Ahrefs data is reported separately and labelled as estimates.

Selected verified placements

Eight placements chosen for topical relevance and spread across all four batches and the main service pages. Each was opened on 22 October 2026 and carried both recorded links with the recorded anchors. “DA (recorded)” is the value in the report, shown as recorded and not independently verified.

All eight articles are about PCB manufacturing, assembly or electronics engineering and link to the matching Fast Turn service page. Four are technology or engineering publications; the others are news and business sites carrying a clearly on-topic article. To verify one, open the URL and find the two quoted anchors in the article body. NY Weekly and North Iowa Today (not shown here) label their articles as branded or partner content.

Delivery reporting and verification

“Exact match” means the page carries both recorded links, each with its recorded anchor and target page. “Not checkable” means the site refused automated requests and needs a manual browser check. Anchor text was matched ignoring case and destinations on the exact path; every link found points to the page recorded for it. Link attributes and Google indexation were not part of this check and are not claimed.

The full record is public: the Fast Turn PCB placement report opens without sign-in, view only, with one tab per batch and every placement’s anchors, target pages and live URL.

Organic search performance

Supporting context, not the main deliverable. All figures are Ahrefs estimates for www.fastturnpcbs.com, captured 22 October 2026; they are not Google Search Console data.

How to read this: the two-year window starts about 15 months before the first documented batch, and the site was already growing before January 2026. Domain Rating reflects all links Ahrefs has found, not only these placements. The data shows a strong growth period alongside the campaign; it does not establish how much of the growth the guest posts caused, and the improved keywords are mostly informational searches rather than the campaign’s anchor terms.

Conclusion

Across four batches, Rank Roots delivered and documented 97 guest-post articles on 76 publisher domains, each carrying the client’s requested anchors to the correct Fast Turn service pages, and checked the live articles against the record. Recorded volume and verified results are kept distinct, Ahrefs figures are labelled as estimates, and exceptions are documented rather than hidden.
