Cloud blogs + template

The 25-blog network, the Elias Cloud template, and how to run it (one URL). Anchors follow the canonical Tier 1 / Tier 2 system.

The centerpiece of the link-building side. Set up once per client (sticky clients) or per niche (high-churn), then run the template whenever you push a page.

Per-client vs per-niche

Joshua's situation (generalist): build per-niche networks — a "Health Services" net (med spa + chiro + mental health) and a "Home Services" net (HVAC + plumbing + electrical + pool). ~2 days of setup buys a reusable asset for every client in the bucket.

Build 25 cloud blogs

25 configs × 12 cloud APIs = ~300 sites. For each config:

1. NEO → Cloud Blogs → Create Cloud Blog.
2. Name = a niche target keyword (Health: "Med Spa Tips," "Skin Health"; Home: "Pool Cleaning," "HVAC Repair").
3. Social links = client's (per-client) or agency's (per-niche) socials — branded backlinks as a side effect.
4. About/Contact = generic but with branded backlinks to money sites.
5. Author bio = the rewritten bio from Platform setup.
6. NAP = HTML format from setup.
7. Generate.

Build the Elias Cloud template (once)

The Cloud Content Poster wizard only takes ONE cloud site per campaign. The Elias Cloud diagram has ~150 tier slots in one campaign — fill them once, duplicate per run.

1. Diagram Editor → find Elias Cloud. In Create Campaign, the Select Diagram dropdown entry is Neo - Elias Cloud (it sits below Neo - Domain Authority Stacking, Hercules, Ikarus, T1 Booster, Contextual to Text, Daredevil, Gnosis, RD100 (1 URL), and Respect my Authoritah). Its on-screen Diagram Description reads "This is the most powerful Cloud Stacking strategy, which is used by top SEO experts." — the graph is one Moneysite feeding rows of Cloud Blogs nodes.
2. Create Campaign named [client/niche]-cloud-template.
3. Placeholder values to clear the wizard: URL https://www.google.com, keyword Google, Account Templates Default, anchor % 100.
4. At the diagram step, the tier rail is labelled exactly Tier 1 (5) / Tier 2 (25) / Tier 3 (125). For each tier slot assign one of your 25 cloud blogs. You will have overlap — that's the point.
5. Save.

Select Diagram → Neo - Elias Cloud — "the most powerful Cloud Stacking strategy, which is used by top SEO experts." Moneysite at the top feeds three tiers of Cloud Blogs nodes (~150 slots).

Each tier slot opens a per-slot panel — Cloud Blog Folders, Content Buckets, Internal Links, Category, Use Custom Rich Content (Override Content Bucket), Add NAP / Blurb, and Number of Videos / Embeds — so you point each of the 5 / 25 / 125 slots at one of your cloud blogs and its content:

The tier rail labelled Tier 1 (5) / Tier 2 (25) / Tier 3 (125). The per-slot panel exposes Cloud Blog Folders, Content Buckets, Internal Links, Category, Use Custom Rich Content, Add NAP / Blurb, and Number of Videos / Embeds — set every slot once, then duplicate.

Why overlap is the feature: the same blog in Tier 1 AND Tier 3 means Tier 3 links point at your own Tier 1 cloud sites — you're interlinking the network, which keeps it alive past the 90-day mark when others' networks die.

Per-run usage

1. Duplicate the template (copy icon).
2. Target = ONE URL. Not multiple.
3. Keywords = anchor text (see the anchor map below).
4. Content bucket = the per-client/niche bucket.
5. Run.

RD100 or cloud, not both. For a page, run the stripped RD100 or the cloud template — both only on a hard keyword.

What the cloud sites are for: on a new client they exist to give the money page referring domains — new sites with authority borrowed from the domains they sit on, getting stronger as you interlink them.

Set your anchors — Tier 1 & Tier 2

After you duplicate the template and set the one target URL, configure the anchors on the same Tier 1 Keywords and Tier 2+ Keywords screens as RD100, same safety gradient — brand at the money page, keywords one layer down.

• Tier 1 — Primary Keywords at 100%, nothing else: brand exact + a brand partial-match. No exact match here.
• Tier 2 — Primary Keywords at 100%: exact match + variation keywords + entities. Cloud campaigns are full articles, so they carry entities well. 50–100 anchors is plenty.

Fix-ups

It's a "link weapon" — point it at anything later (Facebook, LinkedIn, even your own backlinks). Messed it up? Delete the buckets and start over, no harm.
