Now it’s time to learn another important lesson of search engine optimization: increasing Backlinks to your blog. Backlinks help your blog in several ways: they increase traffic, improve ranking, and enhance your SEO efforts. We’re going to go over a basic guide to backlinks and how to boost them.
What are Backlinks?
Backlinks are incoming links to your blog/site, or links by which a visitor reaches your site from another website.
Why Should You Build Backlinks?
The number of quality backlinks your blog has improves your Alexa and Google Page Rank and it makes your blog seem more important to search engines, thus increasing your SERP rankings. This improves your blog’s visibility and leads to more organic traffic.
Below I’ve discussed some great methods for building backlinks to your blog.
1. Guest Posting
This is one of the best methods for link building as long as you choose high-quality blogs or websites for your guest posts. Look for blogs that are related to your niche and reach out to the site owner, asking for an opportunity to share a post with his or her readers. You will likely be allowed to include one or two backlinks to your blog, which are usually dofollow links. Dofollow links have more value than nofollow.
2. Blog Commenting
Sharing insightful and legitimate comments on other blogs can also increase backlinks for you. Comment on blogs that use CommentLuv or KeywordLuv because they will add a link to a recent post on your blog. It’s also a good idea to comment on WordPress blogs. Don’t comment with spam! It will only hurt your reputation and earn you penalties from Google.
3. Unique Content
Content is another thing that can also help you in building backlinks. Focus on creating high-quality, insightful, and useful content for your readers then share it with your social media followers and promote it.
4. Social Media Promotion
Social media offers a huge opportunity to share your content, get new followers, and get backlinks. Share your content or posts on popular social sites and join communities related to your niche. If you create high-quality content, people will share it and link to it.
5. Forum Posting
Forum posting is an easy way to increase backlinks to your blog. Join forums related to your niche and reply to threads. Make sure you don’t spam and only add a link to your blog when appropriate.
6. Directory Submission
There are dozens of great directories that accept blog submissions. Once accepted, these directories will list your blog in an appropriate category with a link. Submit your blog to the most popular directories like Dmoz.org.
These are just a few of the ways to increase the number of backlinks to your site. What’s your favorite way of earning backlinks? Comment Below
