Does the Skyscraper Technique Work in 2021?

In episode #1673, we discuss whether the Skyscraper Technique still works in 2021. We have spoken often about this great method for creating content and links, developed by our good friend Brian Dean, but we thought it was about time to reevaluate its use in the new year. Tune in to hear about how it can still be effective, misunderstandings to avoid, and a whole lot more!
