Method 3: Start Getting in Touch with Your Prospects

When you've been able to gather a good number of prospective sites, the subsequent stage is to begin connecting with them and find out if they would be interested in having your guest posts featured on their sites. There are a couple of strategies you can implement to induce significant bloggers to feature your posts.

The least demanding tactic is to make an email pitch you’ll send to your prospects.

Here are a couple of things to bear in mind when you're reaching out to your prospects:

Sound like a real human. It's hard to get a reply if you sound like a robot. Be creative and genuine so it doesn't look like spam.

Plainly state the topic of your blog and the nature of the content you produce. You have to make your prospect mindful of the worth you give out. If they know nothing about your site, it's presumably they may not be willing to accept your proposal to write guest posts for them.

Ensure they are not one of your rivals. While it's a smart thought to look out for sites whose niches are related to yours, they shouldn't be offering identical products or services as you.

It's necessary to take note of the fact that not all guest posters are allowed for free. A few sites may require a charge. However, if you are seriously in need of quality links, this charge might be worth it.

Thanks for stopping by, FKelso! Yes, link building has been ignored by some struggling veteran bloggers and it's making such people lag behind in the online market. What most people have failed to realize about building links is that it's an extremely crucial ranking signal in Google's search algorithm.

So, friend, if you've been working diligently and persistently on content alone (Not building links at all), know that you're going to rank in the real sense but not at the topmost level at all. With building out content alone, it may take you through a period of 13-14 years to reach the Google PageRank score of 6/10, whereas, you can reach up to 8.0/10 in a couple of years if you're building both content and links.

Warning: Keep in mind that you're going to get slapped by search engines if you try implementing the black hat SEO strategy to build links. This is a clear signal to Google and other major search engines that you're building low-quality links which is subject to severe penalty. Thanks for contributing!

Question: We've been told to put in at least one internal link and one external link. I am assuming these are in addition to any affiliate links you may have in the post. Do you feel that one internal and one external are enough?

Not at all, FKelso! The kind of links you need to boost your Google Page Rank score as talked about in this tutorial is different from the affiliate links you're talking about here. You might be used writing content alone and that may likely prevent you from improving your ranking on time.

You actually need hundreds and even thousands of quality backlinks for your blog to rank high in search engines and some of the ways to accomplish this has been suggested in the tutorial among many others. If you still need more awesome ways to build high-quality backlinks to your site, don't hesitate to get back to me. Thanks for stopping by!
