The Ultimate Guide To Getting Backlinks
I was reading my email today (this morning) before I started my saturday routine of chores. I came across an email from "NicheHacks" which looked interesting. The title captivated me into reading: "The Ultimate Guide: 17 Ways To Build Links Without Writing Content". The URL is: http://nichehacks.com/ultimate-guide-build-links-without-content/
Is it possible I thought to myself? After all, Google had recently sent many websites tumbling due their not-so-favorable-technique in acquiring backlinks.
But I also remember seeing another blog post recently about why backlinks are still very important to get a high ranking.
We had just been learning here in WA about not being overly concerned about acquiring backlinks. So which one is it? Are backlinks still important?
I am hearing that voice in my head so I kept reading:
- Easy ways to find pre-existing text and images that automatically give you the right to request a link
- How to get quoted (for free!) as an expert in leading online and offline publications
- How to optimize your infographics for even more backlinks
- How to get your fans to create your backlinks and content for you
- How to list your site as a reference on Wikipedia
I'm thinking to myself, man, this stuff is really good! If I could post like this my site would be dynomite!
As I read this article it occurs to me to write some of this info down because:
(a) I have to huury and get busy doing my chores and
(b) there could be info here that may be crucial to me
Some of this I can do and help my rank. I have listed some of the suggestions here as a sample of incentives that may help your site have better rankings.
(1) Get Interviewed by a Haro Reporter
at http://www.helpareporter.com/ you can get a backlink to your website by giving a interview about your expertise in your niche.
(2) Add Links to Pre-Existing Mentions
at http://www.talkwalker.com/ ask to writer that mentioned you to get a hyperlink back to your site.
(3) List Yourself in Business & Product-Based Directories
One of the best Directories to associate with, Hubspot can give you a backlink if you add an article to their site.
(4) Host a Giveaway or Contest
Line25.com saw a 10x subscriber increase overnight by giving away design resources instead of just asking visitors to sign up for blog updates.
This is something to think about.
(5) Fix Broken Wikipedia Links
Another great place to get a backlink from, if you can fix the broken link in your niche with content from your site - a win-win
There are several others which may or may not hold the ticket to something good for you. It was worth the read and so now, back to my saturday routine.
I wish everyone here at WA and fabulous and prosperous New Year!
