How to Get Backlinks
Now you know what “a backlink” is to SEO and digital marketing. Let’s look at some easy ways to gain new backlinks.
It is not only the number of backlinks but also the quality of those backlinks that is important to remember about backlinks in SEO.
Google Penguin may penalize you if you use paid services to obtain links to your website.
The question is:
How can you get high-quality backlinks to your blog?
1. Create Amazing Posts
You must give people a reason to link to your site. An amazing article is the best reason.
People will join if they find your content valuable and entertaining.
How can you create a fantastic article? These are some tips to help you get started:
- Be authoritative:People seek out experts in their field through content. Interviews and experts are always a good option if you don’t have one.
- Unique angle:There is so much content online today. What will your posts look like?
- Problem-solving:People read content because they want to find solutions. You must clarify the problem and show them how to solve it. You can easily make your content readable by writing it in simple sentences. Add formatting, titles, and images to make your article more manageable.
After publishing your post, it is time to start sending out outreach emails. Reaching out to people who have published posts on the same topic is a good idea. They are more likely to be interested in your post because they have written about the same topic before.
Make sure to enter the topic of your article to find it. Don’t forget to check out the Google variations! You can compile a list of articles appearing in the SERPs. You can also use tools like BuzzSumo.
Thank you for this info. I would like to ask you two questions If I link to a website, but it is not affiliate link, shall I use no-follow or not? In one if the trainings here it said yes. And the affiliate links should be no- follow or sponsored?
My second question. When I look at my website in google, uber suggest tells me I have 23 backlinks. However, when I check them, most of them look the same or similar by name (yamen women) and if I want to open the site, it says the site cant be reached. Would you know what it is and why there are those backlinks?
Thank you

If you put in a link to another website (not an affiliate) it will be considered as a backlink from your website to theirs. I do this all the time to authority websites and it's getting me some great backlinks when they reciprocate. I usually put a link in to their similar post to mine, so I don't make it a no-follow so that people can go and read their post.
Your affiliate links should be sponsored, although I often just click on open in a new page, it's up to you.
It is concerning that you can't reach that backlink. Are they connected to the type of niche that you have? It looks like Yemen women are about women's rights. If you can't see them doing your website image harm I wouldn't worry about these backlinks for now. You can always remove them later.
Have a great week Nat.
