If you want your site to rank well in the search engines its important to get some backlinks. Try this:
1. Guest Posting
One great thing about guest posting is the sites you post on are relevant to yours. You can also choose keyword rich anchor text. This strategy takes time and effort which means your competitors have to expend similar energy to imitate you.
You have to make contact with website owners and have them agree to the guest post, you also have to write a decent article as the host won’t want any old rubbish on their site.
2. Sign up for Social Media Sites!
Many social media sites allow you to put a link in the profile. A lot carry a high PR or pagerank score which passes lots of ‘linkjuice’ to your site. Links from sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are great and there are many more social media sites you can sign up to. that brings us to 3…
3. Use Onlywire for Social Bookmarking
Though not really linkbuilding, submitting your site and blog posts to social media and bookmarking sites passes SEO juice to your site. With Onlywire you can submit a blog post to around 50 social media sites at once. You have to manually input details for all accounts once but after that you can make submissions with a few clicks. Edit – Onlywire used to be free, it is now a paid service.
4. Link Back from Web 2.0 Properties
This is part of a strategy I have been using for some affiliate sites and have found the overall strategy to work well. Create a profile (or use an existing profile), put a link back to your main site from the profile if possible and create a few articles for each site with backlinks in each.
To save time you can use article spinning software such as the best spinner. To spin an article just take one from your main site and put it through the software then read through and change any grammatical errors. These articles are fine for your web 2.0 properties which will be read by few people and are just for backlinking purposes.
5. Article Marketing
Use the article spinning software to create articles and submit them to article directories. The articles should be in reasonable English and should be unique each time.
6. Link Back from Video Sites
There are loads of video sites out there and you can get some good, high PR links from them. Post a few videos if possible and also add clickable links using html if possible too.
7. Use Fiverr
Fiverr is a site where people provide a vast array of services for $5 a pop. There is tons of fun stuff on there and you can also pay users $5 to build some links. Use with caution, you may want to blast a ton of links at your web 2.0 properties as the linkjuice flows through to your main site.
8. Hubpages and Squidoo
These are web 2.0 properties, however don’t use spun articles for these 2 as the content is more vigourously monitored. Also, if your article for Squidoo is less than great it will actually drop out of their listings and any links will not count. You need to put html into Squidoo to link from the main body of the articles.
Fantastic ways to attract links that I have yet to try!
Linkbait. If you have some excellent content and get plenty of people to give it a push using social media it can attract many thousands of links. Controversial posts can also be effective linkbait, however you need to bear your branding in mind so tread carefully.
Create an infographic: In the online marketing sphere there have been tons, however in many other industries there is plenty of room for useful infographics which could earn a lot of links.
