If you think that back-links won’t make any gradual difference to your blog then you are absolutely wrong. Having a premium theme and quality content with strong search engine optimization does not guarantee you to increase your blog’s reputation. If sometime in the future you will be in the situation of selling your blog, these quality back-links will matter a lot in deciding your blog’s value. However, I praise that such situation doesn’t occur with you. Keeping that point aside for time being, there are numerous more advantages of having quality back-links. Building these quality back-links is a tough job but following 10 ways will guarantee you the quality back-links. Follow these simple set of instructions to build quality back-links.
10 ways to build quality back-links
1. Guest posting
Guest posting/blogging is one of the powerful and most loved techniques used to build quality back-links. What is guest blogging? It is the process of writing high quality articles for high ranked blogs/websites in exchange of certain number (probably 2) of dofollow back-links. You need to be careful while selecting the blog niche for guest blogging. Remember to write for only those blogs which are relevant to your blog niche. Guest posting on higher PR websites will definitely improve your own blog’s PR.
2. Commenting
Commenting is considered as one of the easiest way to build quality back-links. However, some high PR’ed blogs and websites don’t allow comments to have dofollow back-links. A very popular plug in called CommentLuv helps you to fetch latest post from your blog while commenting. So, one of the major task you need to do is find out CommentLuv enabled blogs. If you are thinking of spam commenting on other blog’s then I doubt your comments will never get approved by blog admin. Be as much as clear and respect the author.
3. Link Exchange
Link Exchange is another good way to build quality back-links. In Link exchange, you agree to put link of other fellow blogger and ask him/her to do the same for you. Some bloggers find this as one of the easiest method available, however I don’t. It is really hard to get someone on your side if he has high PR’ed blog or website. It’s a simple question. Why would somebody put your link on his blog if he would already be having good rank and back-links?
4. Produce quality
If you adhere to the quality of articles you produce, you will automatically get back-links from other fellow bloggers. A useful content with good explanation and quality won’t take much time to get featured on other blogs. If you are unable to attract visitors, ask yourself whether your articles are useful or not? Are they search engine optimized?
5. Join related forums
Forums are great platforms to interact with the other users of same niche. If they come across any problem, possibility is more that they will post their query on related forums. Don’t waste such chances and reply back to them with the related article from your blog. Another point you can consider is adding a link/logo in signature. Be careful while placing a link/logo in signature. Some forums don’t allow such practices and may lead to ban.
6. Site Design
Your site design matters a lot and you need to be neat on it. Keeping advertisements sounds good but don’t ever do it by degrading the user experience. Be as much as productive and release some ebooks or really high quality content (like 101 ways to something) after good intervals. This way your blog would become an amazing resource where everybody would just love to stay and read the content.
7. Interview
How about interviewing someone from your niche? Sounds crazy but it’s a best way to earn some respect and help build quality back-links. Such interviews are believed to get you quality back-links in two ways. The person you interviewing will definitely put some information regarding the interview on his site and ask his readers to follow the link to read it. Another way depends on the quality of the person you are interviewing. If he/she is quite popular you will get some natural back-links from his/her fellow bloggers/followers.
8. Article directories
Making use of article directories is one of the great ways to build quality back-links. Article Dashboard, Ezine articles are some of my favorite article directories. Such sites review your articles manually and it’s really tough to get accepted. However, if you think you lack the quality which is required to get accepted on such sites, you may hire someone to produce high quality article for submission.
9. YouTube
I’m not sure whether links residing in description or comments of YouTube are considered in quality back-links are not but it’s definitely a good way to improve presence of your blog. Releasing some video tutorials occasionally with the link back to related articles will improve your blogs presence.
10. Check how your competitors are building backlinks
Don’t misguide yourself with the word competitors. What I’m trying to say is check how blogs related to your niche are trying to build their back-links. You can note down the number of back-links from Alexa and check it frequently.
Final words
Building back-links is important for your blog’s reputation. However, don’t charge yourself and start building back-links in one day. This will put your blog in caves and search engines will start to suspect your blog’s presence.
Good luck!
