by RichOak Advertising Digital Marketing Agency

If you own and operate a website there is no doubt you have heard of backlinks in some shape or form. Yet, do you understand the importance of backlinks to your overall online business? A large portion of your web traffic is going to come from Google, they are the biggest and most important search engine with very little competition. Google uses backlinks, which are links to your website from other sites, as a huge factor when deciding search engine ranking. 

 

Since this is the case, you need to start thinking about how you will start getting good backlinks to boost your SEO and web traffic. You cannot just go out and start getting linked on other sites with no purpose though, you must work on getting high-quality backlinks on well-traveled websites. There are many different methods of doing this, and below you are going to find five of the best ones.

Guest Posting

One of the most popular ways of getting your name and website out there, as well as backlinks, is doing guest posts, or blogs, on high-authority websites. These types of posts will not only allow you to insert a few of your own links, but it will get your writing or content noticed by more people. It may seem difficult to find these opportunities, but it really comes down to some creative google searches. Try ‘your niche’ + write for us, or any other combination you can think of, it will give some great results.

Infographics

If you spend any amount of time online these days you will notice the growing trend of quality infographics in just about every piece of content on the web. This is because people tend to be drawn more to pictures with condensed info, rather than just writing alone. Use this to your advantage and start creating some great infographics in your niche. The better they are, the more likely someone will pick them up and backlink you on their own site.

Quality Content

Content is still king at getting you ranked on Google, regardless of what anyone tries to tell you. If people do not want to stay on your site, they are definitely not going to think about backlinking as a reference. Keeping your content relevant, factual, informative, and pleasing to read is the key here. Add in some of those above infographics, sprinkle in some expert SEO, and your backlinks build themselves.

Broken Links

This trick takes a little bit of extra work but can pay off huge if you do it right. It involves using software to analyze high-authority websites in your niche to find all of their broken links. There are many different programs available, and Google themselves have a free add-on for Chrome. You can then contact the owner of the site with this information and ‘suggest’ working links to replace them.

Promotion and Marketing

Another huge cog in the wheel is getting your website and content noticed by the millions of internet viewers. This can be done in many different ways and a lot can depend on what your niche is. Take advantage of social media, online forums, as well as email lists to promote the best of the best your website has to offer. You will start seeing backlinks popping up all over the place.
