- Write guest posts on blogs that are related to your field. Many bloggers will be glad to allow you to provide some fresh content for them in exchange for a link back to your site. Just contact the blogger and make an offer.
- Answer questions on sites such as Answers.Yahoo.com, AllExperts.com and JustAnswer.com. By providing quality advice on subjects related to your site, you link to your pages as related information. Just understand that sites like this frown on website owners simply linking to their sites. You can link when it’s relevant, but you don’t need to say it’s your own site.
- Offer testimonials for the sales pages of products you enjoy. Internet marketers love to get them, and most will gladly post an active link or at least a URL to your site in return.
- Find other organizations that link to members’ websites to join. For best results, choose ones related to your niche.
- Offer to write articles for a fellow blogger or news media organization. You’ll want to voluntarily send them a sample of your work ahead of time so that they get a taste of what you’re offering.
- Join and participate in forums. Add links to your site to your signature.
- Comment on blogs whose subject matter is related to your site. If you take the time to read the post and write a good, relevant comment, the blogger is unlikely to consider this spamming. Be respectful; keep your link in the space provided for your link.
- Sponsor giveaways on blogs. You supply the product, and the blogger holds the giveaway. You’ll get a link from the blogger, and you could also request that entrants be required to link to your site. Make sure that the blog is in a related field and readers are interested in what you’re giving away!
- Create profiles on popular social networking sites, and link to your site from them. Some of these will be “no follow” links, but when link building, don’t worry about this…just build good, quality links.
- Make yourself available for interviews, not only online, but with offline media. Most media outlets have websites, and they often post transcripts of interviews there along with relevant links.
Do you have other ways that you have used that work well for building quality links? Please do share what you’ve done and how well it worked in the comment section below! Hint: This is a great example of a invitation for #7 above!
