ll blog and website owners need good incoming links for link popularity among the search engines. Anyone who has spent any time on link building knows that seeking quality link partners is very time consuming, yet every website or blog must have quality incoming links for the best rankings.
Here are 5 link building tips I have found useful in my own link building strategies.
1. When seeking link partners or new directories to submit your links to, do not forget about other pages within your blog or site. If you have a newsletter page make sure you submit that page to newsletter directories or sites that only cater to newsletters. Quality incoming links will count for those pages as well.
Ezine Hub and Newsletter Access are two that have a page rank of at least 6.
2. Press releases are picked up by popular sites and offer a link back! Not to mention getting your website or blog in front of many news reporters, bloggers, and the media! If you have never published a news release, check out my press release help for some tips on using the power of the press release.
3. Stay away from link farms. When seeking your linking partners, always look at their links page. Make sure they are not script ran and also look at how many links are there. If there link page looks like an unorganized mess with 100’s of links, do not waste your time. Never place a link on your site solely for the purpose of trading link popularity, because this will actually hurt your rankings.
4. Link to fellow bloggers or experts within your niche. Remember, they need to have a good page rank or “authority”. In turn many of them will offer a link back to your blog or site. If not, it is ok, as you will build your links with quality. I do not mean link to 100 of them, maybe 5 or so. Most bloggers check stats often, so give them a few weeks to reply to your link or maybe even add your link. It is ok for you to link to other quality sites without a link back, however a link back is always appreciated.
5. Guest Post on Blogs. Offering guest posts for blogs is a great way to get relevant links. Even if you are not a seasoned writer or even if you do not have a blog yourself. To do this all you need is to be able to create useful content.
Lets say you have a site that sells “home decor”. Finding a blog that is about “decorating” and offering a guest post would work very well. The blogger would get a break and you would get an incoming link plus the traffic from anyone reading that post. All you have to do is create a nice article, and submit it to the blog owner asking of they are accepting guest bloggers. Most blogs do accept them, or they save all guest post for days when the blogger has writers block.
When you email the blog owner, attach a copy of the guest post and let the blogger know if they are willing to use it, the content will be exclusive to them only. (that way they know 10 other blogs will not have the same content) Ask for a reply with say 14 days and not that if you do not hear back within 14 days you will assume they are not interested and you will submit the content to another blog.
