How to build or earn backlinks
1. The very first thing to start is to create a good internal linking system. An internal link is a link from one of your website’s page, to another page of your site. Internal links can help visitors navigate your site easily.
This is one way, to build backlinks to your most important articles.
2. Write guest posts for popular websites in your niche. No, guest posting is not dead, not even close. I demonstrated this a few weeks ago, here. As long as you will write awesome content for reputable websites, you are safe. If you want to build backlinks using guest posts, these are a few tips you should consider:
Don’t write only for the purpose of getting a dofollow backlink. Remember the rule that a link is good when it sends traffic.Sometimes, websites that use nofollow links for guest authors will be more valuable for your business.
Don’t use money anchor texts in your author bio, and don’t over optimize anything.
Always link to your social media accounts in the author bio, to get more followers and engagement.
Write fantastic content that gets hundreds of shares, and you will be invited to write again.
Share and promote the articles you write for other websites.
So, how do you find guest posting opportunities? You have three options.
The first one is to check if the most important websites in your niche are accepting guest contributors. If they do, you can send your request to become an author.
The second option is to look for websites that accept such contributors, using the following footprints in Google:“Write for us + keyword”
“Guest post by + keyword”
“Guest contributor + keyword”
“Guest author + keyword”
inurl: guest-post-guidelines
inurl: guest-posts
inurl: write-for-us
And the third option is to spy your competitors that are writing guest posts on other websites. The easiest way to do this, is to use Monitor Backlinks. Once logged in to your account, and connected your domain with Google Analytics, you can add your competitor’s whose strategy you would like to spy.
