Bad backlinks<\/strong>, on the other hand, hurt your SEO and destroy your rankings. They can seriously hurt your chances of making money online<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, before you start spamming the comments sections of blogs in your niche, or participating in link farms, read on to discover 5 tips on how to attract backlinks to a new blog post<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Getting people to link back to your blog comes down to creating great content<\/a>, sharing it, and engaging with your audience the right way.\u00a0Creating high-quality content that resonates with your readers is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the entire process.<\/p>\n And, as with most other things online, you get the best results when you put in consistent effort<\/strong>. As long as you focus on adding value to your readers, everything else will fall into place. Other bloggers will want to link to your content in their posts. But, it all starts with high-quality, authoritative content that proves you know what you\u2019re talking about<\/strong>.\u00a0There are tons of additional benefits that come with publishing this type of content.\u00a0<\/p>\n For instance:<\/p>\n So, rather than thinking like a robot trying to game the system, you should focus on ENGAGING and EDUCATING your audience.\u00a0Ultimately this will increase your EAT (expertise, authority, trust)<\/strong>.\u00a0That’s when you become a thought leader, and people start linking back to your content as a way to make their point.\u00a0Preply<\/a> is a great example of this concept in play.<\/p>\n Source Preplay blog<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n The website publishes dozens of high-quality, authoritative articles that position them as experts in the language learning space.<\/p>\n In summary, here’s what you should do:<\/p>\n And remember to keep your content up to date<\/strong>.\u00a0Google LOVES fresh content, and so do other bloggers. No one wants to link to an old post that hasn’t been updated in years.<\/p>\n And, it\u2019s worth mentioning that this tactic works ONLY if you have a well-designed website<\/a> that makes it easy for readers to find what they\u2019re looking for.\u00a0Luckily, there are tons of website and landing page builders<\/a> that you can use to create well-structured pages and blog posts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Linking to others is second on our list of link-building strategies that work. Most bloggers find guest blogging<\/strong> to be the most effective way to get backlinks.\u00a0They search for top-quality blogs that accept guest posts<\/a> and submit their content as a way to reach brand new audiences<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n While this is a great strategy for BUILDING<\/strong> backlinks, linking to others in your own blog content is a great way for ATTRACTING<\/strong> inbound links.<\/p>\n See the difference?\u00a0You need to link to other blogs on your blog<\/strong>.\u00a0Although this isn’t a guarantee that you will get links from those blogs, the more you do it, the higher the chances that other bloggers in your niche will want to return the favor<\/strong>.\u00a0This only works well if you are creating GREAT content.\u00a0If you\u2019re producing low-quality content, then your chances of getting linked to are pretty slim.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, make linking to others a consistent part of your content creation process<\/strong>.\u00a0After all, blogs are meant to be social tools, and blogging is a community.\u00a0Also, you can’t possibly cover everything<\/strong> about every topic on your blog.\u00a0It only makes sense to leverage other high-quality resources online<\/strong> to improve your own blog experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n In time, when they check their traffic and see that you are linking to their content – and that you are blogging about similar topics, you will get on their radar<\/strong>.\u00a0Many of these bloggers will come to check out your blog. If you are publishing high-quality posts that fit into their own content, there\u2019s a very high likelihood that they will link to your blog post.\u00a0Over time, you will build a steady stream of backlinks from other bloggers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an example of what I\u2019m talking about:\u00a0<\/p>\n This site that focuses on VPNs<\/a> is a great example of how to link to other blogs in the same space as a way to encourage inbound links.\u00a0<\/p>\n Source VPN Overview<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n On their blog, you\u2019ll find PLENTY of articles that link out to other authoritative sites in their niche, such as ones that deal with related topics, such as:<\/p>\n Posts that contain eye-catching visuals tend to get shared and linked<\/strong> to more than ones that don’t.\u00a0This means that images can help you:<\/p>\n But even more importantly, they can enhance your ability to attract high-quality links<\/strong> to your blog. This works for ALL industries, and any form of visual content that you can create will help you attract tons of backlinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n For instance, using\u00a0tools like an image background remover<\/a>\u00a0can immensely help to enhance your visuals by offering a neat and uncluttered appeal.

Other bloggers often want to skip the trouble of creating their own images, and they would rather use yours instead – provided you created high-quality graphics. Don\u2019t have the time (or the inclination) to create your own images? You can simply hire experienced professionals from a freelancing platform<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can also publish original stats and data in image form as a way to attract more backlinks.\u00a0Oberlo<\/strong> is a website that does this VERY WELL, and a lot of blogs link to statistics like the one below:<\/p>\n Image source Oberlo<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Just make sure you keep your information current as blogs like to link to fresh and new information.\u00a0This tactic also works well with quotes.<\/p>\n Image source Digital marketer<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Funny memes spread LIKE WILDFIRE online.

Just make sure that you understand your audience well<\/strong> so you can avoid creating memes that might be considered offensive by some.<\/p>\n People are always searching for content to share.\u00a0Give them the opportunity to share your content by creating shareable content assets<\/strong>. This is one of the best SEO techniques<\/a> to attract links and drive organic traffic<\/strong> to your site.\u00a0<\/p>\n Remember, the more people link to you, the more organic search traffic you get.\u00a0If you already have a strong strategy for SEO in place, this will only work to STRENGTHEN your traffic generation efforts.<\/p>\n So, what types of shareable assets can you create?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n More and more people are watching videos rather than reading written posts.\u00a0You can use this to your advantage by creating videos and embedding them in your posts.\u00a0Either find topics to turn into engaging videos, or create videos that help to break down and explain some of the more complex topics already on your blog. You can use an online video maker to make the video creation and editing process easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n Podcasts are great for increasing audience interest<\/a>.\u00a0They allow people to listen to their favorite shows while doing other tasks, such as commuting, running, cleaning, shopping, etc.\u00a0If you can create a podcast<\/a> for your blog, and turn your new blog post into a podcast, this is a great way to attract quality links.<\/p>\n An ultimate guide is an article that covers the topic from all bases<\/strong>.\u00a0When creating one, make sure your content is structured in a way that makes it easy for readers to navigate and consume the content.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also, it must be packed full of valuable, useful information and actionable advice to help readers achieve some goal.<\/p>\n This article on the essentials for sales management is an awesome example of an ultimate guide<\/strong> designed to provide readers with all the information they need on a particular subject.<\/p>\n Image source Pipeliner<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Other blogs in this space are likely to link to this as a helpful resource for their own audiences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Resource pages are pages that are created solely as a means to link out to other websites<\/strong> in your niche.\u00a0An example of a resource post is this list of \u201c27+ Web Hosting Services<\/a>\u201d from the AwesomeX blog.<\/p>\n Image source AwesomeX<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Once you’ve curated and published such a page, you can then email each of the blogs you mentioned and let them know about your awesome new resource<\/strong>.\u00a0It’s likely that some of them will want to link to it on their own blogs.\u00a0Even blogs\/experts who aren\u2019t mentioned in your post will still want to link to it as it saves them the trouble<\/strong> of rehashing and curating the content themselves.\u00a0These are just a few of the MANY content formats that are proven to attract links.\u00a0<\/p>\n Remember, high-quality content<\/strong> is the most important part of the equation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Use a tool like Copyleaks<\/a> to help you prove originality, promote integrity, and prevent plagiarism.\u00a0<\/p>\n Want to know how to attract backlinks the easy way?\u00a0Create a free tool!
