their social posts<\/a> or their Medium articles. Upvote their Quora answers, and subscribe to their newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhatever it is, make sure they recognize your name. Maybe find a way to add some value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That way, when it comes time to ask for a link, they’ll recognize your name. You can expect much higher open rates, and success rates, by doing that! Quality over quantity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ryan Prior, Founder, Marketing Arsenal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of my best link building tips is to set up Google alerts for your brand name so you can get alerted when someone mentions your company. Every Monday, I send an email to websites that mentioned us but didn’t include a link and I manage to get a few easy links every month using this method. They already covered you, so you have one foot through the door and asking for a link does not feel forced at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petra Odak, CMO at Better Proposals<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPodcast for Link Building: Appearing on podcasts as a guest is a great way to build links without actually asking for those. You can share your expert knowledge on the podcasts. It builds your authority plus the hosts adds your business details along with your company website link on the episode page. And if the podcast gets published on multiple platforms, you get multiple links from just 1 interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaishali Badgujar, Content Marketer, Time Doctor<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nGuest blogposting is the best. Try doing it for others before you ask for it. E.g., write for others blogs, the fruits will come with time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maciej Wilczynski, CEO, Valueships<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAlways look for “additional resources” sections when performing a link building outreach campaign. Loads of blogs end their posts with additional resources for readers, and these sections are perfect for link insertion. Use the Google search operator {[keyword] “additional resources”} to find good opportunities, and then outreach away with your blog or article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brooks Manley, Freelance SEO Consultant<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nBuild partnerships\/relationships more than links. It’ll benefit you more than just earning links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katreena Sarmiento, Director of SEO Operations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nHelp a Reporter Out (HARO) is a free and effective way to generate backlinks to your website. You can submit answers to reporters’ pitches or use it to crowdsource content for your own content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Either way, you can build a network of like-minded connections that are looking to source content from subject matter experts in exchange for links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My #1 tip for using HARO is to keep track of the contacts you’ve worked with over time and solicit them in the future to generate even more opportunities in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also make sure to check out the #journorequest Hashtag on Twitter. There are hundreds of request that come through this Hashtag daily! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Datis Mohsenipour, Director of Marketing, HeyOrca<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nEffective link building requires both precision in execution and reach. Link building strategies by themselves are quite straightforward, but the trick is in having a perfect understanding of your business’s niche and the audience that you’re targeting. Why does niche matter? For one, it gives you an idea of how you’re positioning yourself, and not only that, it also lets you become aware of other players in your industry, some of which you can partner with in order to connect with your target market. You can start by offering to guest blog for another site, and in so doing, get a chance to reach out to that site’s readers and introduce them to your brand. Of course, it helps a lot if you make your posts interesting by using infographics, videos, podcasts, listicles, and even pop quizzes. To boost your guest blogging efforts, you can also gather testimonials, perform forum link building, participate in expert roundup posts and interviews, and tap influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris Porteous, Founder<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nLooking for the easiest way to land high-quality backlinks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a little daily effort and patience, you’ll be able to build multiple high-quality links and outrank your competitors! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eric Evan Haim, Co-founder<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis might sound like a no-brainer, but if we talk about link building strategy, we talk about guest posting. The guest post remains one of the most powerful ways to build a high-value, natural backlink profile amid all the emerging paid and quick strategies out there. However, we need to bear in mind that guest posting isn\u2019t about slapping your name onto a piece of sloppily content just to get quality backlinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The right way to use guest posting as a link building strategy is that, of course, you should not place all your links at once — don’t stuff your guest posts with keyword-rich anchor links. Instead, you need to pay attention to the quality of the guest post itself. The more quality content you can write, the higher chances you\u2019ll get to earn brand authority in your industry, drive clicks back to your site, and boost organic traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andre Oentoro, CEO of Breadnbeyond<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nKnow your target audience for the virtual event, create an agenda that appeals to them and circulate the agenda widely using every platform that you have presence on. Your attendees have to perceive value in the event that you are facilitating and this is done through a structured agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an example, last week I was contacted on LinkedIn and invited to an online event for Real Estate Investing. This was completely irrelevant to me and when I asked for an agenda the event co-ordinator said that they didn’t have an agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamie Irwin, Director, Straight Up Search<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best advice I can give for link building is to ask! There is no better way to gain a link than to quite literally email someone you mentioned in a blog post and ask them if they can link to it. If your blog post is of good enough quality, few people will have a problem with linking to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dominic Kent, Director of Content Marketing at Mio<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPublish your own data<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems like whenever it comes to content creation for link building, most people suggest building infographics, but few suggest sharing unique data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sharing your own data is an easy and effective way of building links, especially if you already have it and don\u2019t need to do a ton of research to find it. If you think about it, we often share statistics and hard numbers to prove or back up a point, and, when we do, we always link to the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What better way to get links than to become the source?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Share some of the stats you already have with your audience. Do original research and publish the data online. Find gaps in your industry\u2019s knowledge and create content to fill those gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you make your data relevant, shareable, and easy to understand, you\u2019ll be getting backlinks in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will Cannon, CEO, Signaturely<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMonitor unlinked mentions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest, cheapest, and potentially most productive way you can start to build links is to find places where your links should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The better content you produce, the higher the chances that someone finds it, shares it and forgets to link back to you. All these are great opportunities to get backlinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest way to get started is by just setting up a Google alert so you know when someone mentions you. If your brand or company is small enough, you can also lookup on Google who and when has mentioned it, so you can see if they\u2019ve been linking back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you probably don\u2019t need to ask for a link on every single mention. Instead, figure out how important the link would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the page has already mentioned and linked you, or if it has a low authority or relevance, it may not even be worth sending an email to ask for a link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Davis, Head of Marketing, Messagely<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nUse a visitor\u2019s mindset<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Link building isn\u2019t just about linking as much as possible, it\u2019s about those links making sense to your visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s very important to link only where it makes sense to add a link because there\u2019s no point in building links that no one clicks through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve decided the link definitely fits there, open the landing page and try to examine it as a visitor. How easy is it to read? How quickly do you realize what\u2019s happening on the page? How engaging is the content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember: your visitors will decide whether to stay or bounce back in a fraction of a second. If your content doesn\u2019t look professional enough, if it looks generic or boring, your visitors will immediately leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always make a special effort to see your content through the eyes of the visitor with no insider information, and no problem with clicking the \u201cgo back\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Max Benz, Founder, BankingGeek<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nFocus on building a robust online presence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The line between not caring about backlinks and obsessively calling and requesting them can be harder to see than you may think. It can be easy to obsessively monitor your mentions and ask for links at first, only to stop caring after a few months of not seeing any immediate progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to approach link building is to think about what would work better for your online presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Build links that can help you improve on your online presence by evaluating who the reader persona is, and how likely they are to be interested in your website. If your website isn\u2019t attractive to the reader persona, then it makes little sense to get them to click through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start building links where your user persona is, like niche-related online communities on social media, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Become an active participant of those communities and earn your place among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do, you\u2019ll make sure the right people find your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lisa Dietrich, Founder, RemoteCanteen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne creative link building tip is to aim for a collaboration beyond a link. Ultimately your goal may be to obtain a link on a high DA\/DR website; however, try to use the connection with that site to see if there are any other creative ways to collaborate. How can you work together to comarket one another?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eliza Nimmich, Content Marketer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nBuilding high-quality backlinks to your website is actually very easy, if only you know how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some of the best ways to build high-quality backlinks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Guest post on authoritative websites in your industry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Answer interview and expert roundup questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Ask for backlinks from your current media mentions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Create link-worthy resources like industry reports, ebooks, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Answer Quora questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from these, simply starting and running a good blog with useful articles can also get you a lot of backlinks organically. Basically, create content that people would like to refer to their audience and you\u2019ll get backlinks naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Janki Sharma, Associate Editor<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne tip I’d like to share, even though maybe I shouldn\u2019t as it\u2019ll quickly become overused and perhaps lose effectiveness, is to create custom images and embed them inside your guest posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason for that is, when you use that image you need to give proper credit, and that link will go to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The value here is that within the image caption you can use your SEO<\/a> meta title as your anchor text.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich means, if you\u2019ve done your on-page optimization properly, you’re getting anchor text value full with valuable keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is like a cheat sheet for faster rankings, and it\u2019s all white hat and non-penalizable. Because all you’re doing is sourcing the image back to the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what\u2019s more, oftentimes, webmasters will let you have your normal in-content links+ that image link which comes out as a nice bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This doesn\u2019t always happen, but quite often it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
