7 Proven Methods to Earn Backlinks for Your Website

1.Fixing Broken Links

Replace the non-existent web page with a link back to your site.

Broken link building, or dead link building, is one of the easiest ways to acquire a backlink to your site.

Why?

…Because web admins do not want to link to a web page that shows a 404 error.  

In most cases, this strategy earns you backlinks almost instantly because you are not asking for a favor from the target website owner. It is YOU offering them a better alternative to an already existing link to a web page that does not exist.

How do you do it?

• Use SEO audit tools to find broken links on a particular site
• Find out the broken links to a specific site in your niche
• List down the names of the sites that link to those non-existent web pages
• Prepare personalized emails and reach out to the site owners

Here are the other popular methods to find broken links:

• Find websites with a lot of external links
• Keep an eye on the resource pages 
• Scan through Wikipedia content that links to 404 pages

Pro tips:

1. Replace the broken links with a link to better content posted on your site
2. Try to offer a link back to your site’s content on a similar topic
3. Create new content if you do not have any
4. Try to mention all the broken links in your pitch to create urgency

Here are a few popular tools to use for finding broken links:

• SEMRush
• Sitechecker
• Ahrefs
• Screaming Frog
• Google Search Console
• Check My Links Chrome extension
• Online Broken Link Checker (free)
• Dr.Link Check
• DeadLinkChecker
• W3C Link Checker
• Xenus’s Link Sleuth
• LinkChecker Pro

Now, if you are wondering how to write a personalized outreach pitch, here is a sample for you.

Hi, <the site owner’s name>

• Introduce yourself in one line
• Explain why and how you came across the website content
• Mention a particular topic that you liked the most
• Talk about the broken links that you found
• Propose a better alternative to one of the broken links 
• Do not forget to add the link back to your site’s content
• Ask the webmaster to connect with you and share his thoughts

<your name>

That’s it!

You have done your part. 

Now, let’s hope for the best!

However, never insist on adding a link back to your site. 

Follow-ups are necessary, and you should definitely check with the site owners once or twice. But if you do not hear from them over a month or so, never get back to them. 

Instead, target websites with regularly updated content and site maintenance efforts.

2. Link Insertions

Insert a link back to your site on another website in your industry. 

It is not just a link-building strategy, but also improves your brand awareness and niche authority because you will be leveraging the huge audience base of other relevant and top-ranking websites in your industry.

Why is it effective?

Well, who does not love to add value to the existing content? 

And when you offer the webmasters an informative resource that will improve the user experience, there is no point in rejecting it.

Wondering how to do it?

• Identify relevant websites in your industry with a high Domain Authority
• Monitor site metrics to identify articles with the maximum number of backlinks 
• Create content on a related topic that is insightful, unique, and informative
• Draft a personalized email explaining why adding a link back to your content will be beneficial for the users
• Target a specific anchor text that aligns the best with the context of your blog post
• Insert the link pointing to your webpage with the anchor text that seems natural 

Easy, right?

Now, here is the trick!

For an effective link insertion process, you need to find out the right website.

…Because linking to a random website will do more harm than any good. 

Here are the metrics you should consider before targeting websites:

• Domain Authority
• Domain Ranking
• Organic Traffic 
• Number of Backlinks
• Content Quality
• Contextual Relevance
• SEO Rankings

Bonus tip:

Reach out to relevant websites that accept payments in return for link placements. The chances are higher that you will get a backlink to your site. However, do not forget to negotiate with the site owners before you make the payment.

Let us share some tips for negotiations that work every time:

• Let the site owners quote the price
• Never agree to the first price quoted
• Try to negotiate as long as you are comfortable with the amount to be paid
• Close the deal as soon as you get the best offer

Link insertion definitely works only if you know how to get the best deal!

Now, here is a sample of a pitch that will help you reach out effectively and get a backlink for your site.

Hey, [the name of the site owner]

• Introduce yourself in a line 
• Talk briefly about your site and what it is about
• Explain how you came across the website
• Write one line about a particular post/article that you loved to read
• Give one or two reasons why you loved it
• Tell the site owner what you have written
• Write one reason why you think your article would be a great addition to their site
• Ask for the opinion (e.g, ‘let me know what you think,’ or ‘get in touch with me’)

Now, keep two things in mind while preparing the pitch:

1. Make sure that your content is unique:

• Choose a relevant topic
• Make a list of all search engine queries
• Never forget the ‘People Also Ask’ section
• Select one niche topic 
• Ask yourself if the site visitors would love to know about it or not

2. Your content should be related to the target website’s content:

• Take your time & scan through all the existing content
• Find the right anchor text
• Make a few changes to your article if necessary
• If you do not have content ready, draft it

Planning to try it out?

Work smart and get the best backlinks for your site, RIGHT NOW!

3. Resource Page Link Building

Get your web page listed in the resource pages.

This is our go-to link-building strategy because it works almost every time. By adding links to your site on relevant resource pages, you are basically making them even better and providing value to their site visitors. 

Enlisting your site’s links to the resource pages results in high-quality backlinks acquisition and improved site authority because they are designed to link to the best content on the internet. 

Here are the steps to resource page link-building:

Find out the relevant resource pages

• Type “intitle:resources”, “inurl:resources”, or “inurl:links” on Google 
• You can also try using the keyword in place of titles and URLs 
• For example, if you need resource pages on the topic “link building”, type “linkbuilding inurl:resources”

Discard the resource pages that ask you directly for links back to your site

• Type keyword “best sites”, “how to guides,” “best informative blogs”, etc.

Use a backlink analyzer tool

• Put one of your competitors’ sites in a backlink analyzer tool
• Look for topics or sites that mention the term “resources’ or “free resources”

Now, reach out to the site owners and offer them a link to your site’s content. Chances are higher that the resource pages will link back to you just the way they have linked to your competitors’ sites.

Other ways for resource page link building:

Look for broken links on resource pages: Offer the site owners a link back to your content as a better alternative.

Mini resource pages are valuable: Find posts that link to external resources by typing the keyword “learn more” or “other resources’ on Google. Add a link back to your site in the ‘Helpful Resources’ section, though the relevancy of the topic might be debatable at times.

Resource page link-building provides you with much higher chances of getting a backlink because it is not always you who are looking for a favor from the site owners. It is often the other way around.

7 tips for faster link acquisition:

1. Use specific and long-tail keywords when searching for the resource pages

2. Check out the external links first on a resource page 

3. Stay away from resource pages that link to ‘.edu.’ Or ‘.gov’ sites, due to high competition

4. Never approach site owners who only link to their own web pages

5. Connect with the person who manages the resources pages. Emailing the wrong person will result in a failed attempt

6. Draft a personalized email explaining the topic of your article & why it will be relevant to link to your content

7. Add a screenshot of the specific portion of the target post you think would be the best for link inclusion

Seems hard?

Well, it is worth your time and efforts because resource page link building provides you with the much-needed brand awareness. 

Also, the users and the search engine consider all the sites listed on resource pages as highly valuable and credible. 

Here is the template for an effective outreach to the resource page manager:

Subject: <Suggestion for [the resource page name]: [your resource]> 

Hi, [the name of the addressee]

• A one-line introduction of yourself (mention your name, expertise, site’s name)
• Two lines on how you came across the resource page
• Thank them for the excellent resources already provided (mention one or two)
• Talk about your published topic that you think would be a valuable addition to the resources list 
• Add a link to the published content as a reference
• Give supporting reasons that justify your statement
• Ask the person to get in touch with you.

[your name]

If you have found a broken link on the resources list, draft a custom email mentioning the URL of the content. Most of the time, the site owners or managers agree to your offer, as no one wants a non-existent web page listed in their resource page.

So, do not leave your link-building to chance!

Own the backlinks now with resource page building.

4. Skyscraper Technique

Create something that is better than the existing content.

The secret of link-building success using this technique lies in the outreach to the right site owners who are genuinely interested in linking back to your site. 

The skyscraper technique, one of the highly debated strategies, offers you outstanding link-building results if done right.

Why?

…Just 5 steps and you are done!

1. Find the top-ranking content on a specific topic
2. Draft an even better one 
3. Publish it on your site 
4. Pitch the publishers/site owners linking to the original content
5. Ask for backlinks by offering your content as a good alternative

Sounds easy, right?

But you know what the catch is?

It is that your published content must be unique, informative, and offer value to the visitors, lacking in original content.

This is how you drive real link-building results:

• Select a specific topic/keyword relevant to your niche (Use ‘Google Keyword Planner’ or ‘Answer The Public’)

• Scan through the search engine queries or the People Also Ask questions on that keyword

• Choose one article topic that is most often asked but not yet addressed properly (or you think you can explain better)

• Identify the top-performing guides, blogs, and articles on that topic  

• Select the websites with a great backlink profile and links coming from sites with a minimum DR of 50 (use tools such as LinkBuilder, Ahrefs)

• Read through the articles and identify the content gaps or improvement areas

• Write SEO-friendly content that is informative, detailed, and offers something unique (try to include statistics, tools, infographics, comparison charts, case studies, real-life applications, etc)

• Reach out to the site owners with personalized emails explaining why it is worth linking to your content

3 tips to create the best content:

1. Keep your content up-to-date with industry insights 
2. Work on your web pages and make them visually appealing
3. Do not write fluff.

However, the trick lies in connecting with the right web masters and writing a compelling pitch that is engaging and conveys your message the right way!

Wondering how to connect with the right web masters?

Things to take care of before you reach out to a qualified prospect:

• Find out the top-ranking sites in your niche
• Reject spammy sites or online forums that are promotional 
• Target popular blog sites & relevant web pages with do-follow links
• Make sure the site owners are interested in your content
• Try to jot down the site URLs already linking to similar content
• Reject websites linking to a huge number of irrelevant webpages

Now that you know which sites to target, it is time to know what will make your outreach email personalized and interesting.

Check out the tips to write the best outreach email:

• Never play the ordinary: Grab the webmasters’ attention from the very first by mentioning your name, how you came across the site, and a few topics that you liked the most.

• Add a personal touch: To make it more personal, mention one or two points that make the site’s content exceptional.

• Try to know the author: Check out the About Us section and try to get an idea of the authors’ preferences and their expertise. This will help you adopt a more personalized outreach approach.

• Address the right person: Find the contact details in the About Us section. Fill in the details about yourself and your site so that the site owners can connect with you easily.

• Be precise about your offer: Explain why you think your content is better than the existing one and how adding a link back to it will change the overall user experience. 

Pro Tip: Do not forget to attach one or two links to your previously published content so that the webmasters get a clear idea of the quality of your content. 

Here is the sample outreach pitch for reference:

Hey [name of the addressee],

I am [your name], an expert in [your niche]. 

Recently, I was planning to draft an article on [a specific niche topic] and came across your site. 

I must say the published works are indeed insightful. However, the article on [a topic that you liked the most on the target site] is my recent favorite because [facts that blew your mind].

Also, I noticed that it is linked to an article on [the topic with URL].

So, here is another one [the title of your article with the URL] that I wrote and published on my site.

It is:

[Make a list of why it is a good fit on the target website.] 

So, I believe it would be a great addition to your content. 

Let me know what you think.

Yours

[you name

Contact details]

This is more of it!

If you know how to pitch to the site owners, you will win the game for sure.

Remember, 90% of your outreach efforts would be unsuccessful. You might not hear anything from 9 out of 10 site owners you would pitch.

However, it is worth doing even if that 1 person out of the 10 connects with you.

Because it is about the quality and not quantity. 

5. Find Unlinked Brand Mentions

Ask the site owners to add a link back to your site, already mentioned on their website, without a link.

This is one of the best link-building strategies because you are approaching site owners who have already mentioned your site. It is safe to say that the chances of success with this link-building technique are 100%.

Wondering how to do it the right way?

Here are 7 steps to build backlinks:

1. Find unlinked brand mentions on other sites (use tools such as Content Explorer, Screaming Frog, Buzzstream, etc)

2. Look for misspelled domain names by using a domain typo generator and sorting the output by Referring Domains

3. Analyze the backlink reports of the Domains, and get the names or URLs of the websites linking to the misspelled domain name

4. Paste the URLs of the websites that mention your site in Excel

5. Highlight the websites with a high authority score 

6. Prepare a customized outreach pitch and connect with the site owners

7. Ask the web masters to credit your site by adding a link back to it

Pro tip: Turn on Google alerts for future brand mention updates. You will also get notifications when other site owners use a brand-specific keyword or related keywords in their content.

That’s it!

Time for some tips for successful link acquisition:

• Analyze the sites’ content well that mention your brand
• Pitch to those site owners only who add real value to your site
• Let the site owners have their time after you reach out to them
• Mention any errors that you spotted on the sites to push them silently towards action

Ready for a sample pitch?

Here it is:

Hi, [name of the site owner]

This is [your name], from [your site name].

I am connecting with you on behalf of [your site name/or someone in your team] whom you mentioned in your [title of the article].

Here is the portion from your article mentioning [your site name] for your reference.

<Copy and paste the particular section here>

I was just wondering if you would like to add a link back to my site [The URL of your site] in the word [mention the word you want to link with your site].

Because…[give two reasons how adding a link back to your site will help the site visitors]

Let me know what you think about it.

Also, [mention the error that you spotted on the site].

Keep up the good work.

Warm regards,

[your name]

This is a highly effective link-building strategy because you will find a number of sites mentioning yours without crediting you with a backlink. 

Also, there would be new link-building opportunities traveling all the way to you in the future whenever someone mentions your site in their content. 

Grab these opportunities right away & get the backlinks your site deserves.

6. Reclaim Your Lost Backlinks

Add the links to your site again on high-authority website content that disappeared over time.

If you lose a backlink to your site coming from authoritative sources, it is worth reclaiming. After all, you worked hard for it.

However, before you get into the process, try to understand why you lost the backlinks in the first place. The reasons should shape your link reclamation strategies for effective link acquisition.

There could be a ton of reasons. 

Here are a few:

• Verify if the site owner/author removed the backlink
• The linking page gets redirected to another one (301) 
• The page linking to your site does not exist anymore (404 error)
• The linking web page is not indexed in the search engine

Now, depending on the reason you lost the backlinks, you should adopt a specific approach to reclaim the lost backlinks.

We will discuss these later. But now, let’s get into the process of finding lost backlinks to your site.

4 Steps to identify the backlinks you lost:

1. Use a tool such as Site Explorer, and you will get the backlinks you lost over the past month

2. Ignore the links coming from low DR or spammy sites

3. Use the Site Explorer filters to identify the ‘Best links: only⏷”

4. If you are planning to pitch to site owners in a particular language, filter out webpages in that language only (optional)

Now that you have a list of lost backlinks to your site, let’s get ahead with the link reclamation process.

3 Steps to reclaim your lost backlinks:

1. Identify backlinks that are worth reclaiming:

Use the tool filters to find out the reasons behind lost backlinks. You will see something like ‘link removal’, ‘301/302 redirected’, ‘broken redirect’, etc. Also, the tool will show you the status of the referring page, such as ‘noindex’, ‘not found’, ‘crawl error’, ‘dropped’, ‘not canonical anymore’, etc. 

2. Find out webpages that removed the backlinks for updates:

The site owners often refresh their content, replace yours with a better one, or update their external link policies. 

So, if you find the site’s content is totally different from the previous one, pitch them again for a link insert (only if it adds value to the new content). Also, if you find a replaced backlink, update your existing content and ask for link insertion.

But, if the site has undergone an external link policy change and you can not find any other backlink, do not pitch the webmasters.

3. Page Not Found/broken redirect:

If you think that a site owner has accidentally deleted the linked page, pitch them personally for niche edits. Sometimes, web pages are not found due to technical reasons. In such cases, it is worth putting in the effort to reclaim your backlinks.

However, in some cases, it is better not to move ahead with link reclamation. Let us mention them.

Here are the backlinks not worthy of reclaiming:

If the linked web page is:

• Not redirecting anymore
• Directing you to a different source altogether
• No longer indexed in Google 
• Have crawling issues
• Dropped

The success rates with this link-building strategy are not certain.

However, it is an effective one when pursued strategically. 

The trick lies in identifying the right backlinks that are worth pursuing and implementing customized link reclamation strategies depending on the exact reason. 

So, act smart, ignore the lost backlinks for good reasons, and reclaim the best ones!

7. HARO

Be a relevant source of information yourself for the journalists and reporters.

Help A Reporter Out (HARO) is one of the best ways to get backlinks from authoritative platforms such as popular media publications, news outlets, etc.

…Why?

Because the reporters are in search of relevant answers to their questions. And when you provide them with the right information, they will credit you by linking back to your site.

How does this work?

• Join HARO platforms such as Qwoted, ProfNet, Muck Rack, SourceBottle, etc. 
• Create your profile with precise information about your niche expertise.
• Keep an eye on relevant queries posted by the journalists.
• Aim to respond faster with concise and informative answers to the queries. 

If your answer is exactly what they are looking for, you will get a high-quality backlink to your site. 

Bonus tips: 

1. Never write fluff
2. Be precise
3. Try to add something new
4. Talk about tools & techniques

Wondering how to pitch to the journalists for a backlink?

Let us explain!

Suppose you are an SEO content writer & copywriter and you have come across a query on one of the HARO platforms, such as ‘Is content writing & copywriting the same?’

So, you can submit your pitch by adding your explanations and justifications about why you think so. However, the answer should be informative and logical.

Here is a sample pitch for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What are backlinks?

Ans: Backlinks are inbound links to your site from other external websites, and are a crucial element of Search Engine Optimization. They work as valuable ‘votes of confidence’ from other popular websites in your industry and promote your site as a reliable and credible source of information or services. 

The logic is crystal clear…

When some of the highly reputable industry websites or influencers endorse your brand by linking to your site, the search engine considers it to be authentic. As a result, it features your site at the top of the SERPs, boosting its online visibility. 

More and more audience starts to find your site easily on Google, leading to enhanced engagement, improved search engine score, organic traffic, and sales. 

In short, high-quality backlinks to your site coming from authoritative industry sources signal to the search engine that it is authoritative and adds value to the online visitors. Also, the audience considers your site worth visiting as the top-ranking industry websites have linked to it. 

Q2. How do I get backlinks for my website as a beginner?

Ans: Building backlinks is easy, but time-consuming.

However, if you know the right strategies, it should be a piece of cake for you.

As a beginner, you should know the secret to approach the site owners, influencers, journalists, bloggers, and industry leaders to get your job done.

But there is one prerequisite for backlink acquisition, and it is the creation of linkable assets. Focus on creating informative and valuable content for your site that will attract backlinks naturally from the leading websites in your industry. 

For that, you need to research the popular search engine queries, collect information that the audience will find useful, optimize your content for the search engine, and know the art of presenting data in a specific format that is visually appealing.

Now comes the second most important thing!

Learn to build trust and a healthy relationship with the other site owners, especially the industry leaders. Some of the best ways are to guest post on their sites, fix their broken links, and offer real value to their users in some way or the other.  

Reach out to the site owners and explain to them how adding a link to your updated content will improve their user experience. Do not hesitate to inform them about any errors that you have spotted on their site’s content and the perfect solution that you have.

As a beginner, try to establish a good reputation for your site by posting content that the audience in your industry needs the most. Try to be a relevant and authentic source of information yourself so that the niche experts would love to link to your webpages. 

Remember, there is no better way to get backlinks than becoming the best source of linkworthy content. 

Q3. Can I manage to get free backlinks for my site?

Ans: Yes!

You can get backlinks for free by creating content that naturally attracts backlinks.

However, do not chase services that offer ‘free’ backlinks for your site because, in most cases, they acquire backlinks through black hat techniques.

There are a number of ways that will help you build backlinks for your site, such as guest posting, niche editing, fixing broken links, offering a link to unlinked brand mentions, enlisting your site on resource pages, and reclaiming your lost backlinks, etc. 

However, the most effective backlink-building strategy is to offer valuable content to the industry-reputed site owners. Also, replying to journalists’ queries on HARO platforms will get you premium backlinks. 

Sometimes, updating or repurposing your content and then reaching out to other site owners to ask for link insertion will help you significantly.

Building backlinks is an ongoing journey. It takes time, effort, and resources to acquire backlinks successfully from authoritative websites. However, if anyone offers you free backlinks, stay away! 

Link farms, PBNs, or other spammy sites often link to irrelevant and random websites just to make their network stronger. But, getting backlinks from these sites will negatively affect your website’s search engine score or even get your site unindexed on the search Engine. 

These sites offer cheap and low-quality backlinks, and their networking efforts seem highly suspicious and manipulative to Google. Once it finds that your site is linked to such spammy sources, the search engine will penalize you.  

When it comes to link-building, it is always safer to act strategically and take your own time. In short, high-quality SEO content and personalized influencer outreach will get your business site premium backlinks, promising long-term SEO growth.   

Q4. Is it possible to get backlinks by linking other web pages from my own site?

Ans: NO!

When you link your own site’s web pages with one another, it is called internal linking.

Backlinks are inbound links to your site from other external sources. 

However, both internal links and backlinks are crucial SEO elements. On one hand, internal linking helps you with easier Google indexing. On the other hand, backlinks improve your site’s SEO score, online visibility, and audience reach, potentially increasing your sales and ROI. 

Q5. What are the best backlinks for a website?

Ans: The authority and credibility of the sources from which you acquire your backlinks define their quality. Also, backlinks secured through manual outreach efforts are considered highly effective.

Some of the best backlinks that you might manage to get include editorial backlinks, digital PR, and guest post backlinks. 

When you secure backlinks for your site from popular media outlets, press releases, journalists’ platforms, and new publications, the search engine considers your site’s content highly valuable, authoritative, authentic, and useful for the online site visitors.

Also, if you acquire backlinks for your site from other popular blogging sites, community forums, podcasts, or articles in your industry, your site will get enhanced brand exposure and visibility. 

However, there are certain metrics that you should consider before targeting a site for link placement. For example, Domain Rating, Domain Authority, topical or contextual relevance, right anchor text, Citation Flow, Trust Flow, ethically built backlink profile, referring page traffic, and SEO score are the basic parameters that determine the quality of target websites.

Remember, it is not the number of backlinks, but their quality that will contribute to making your site’s backlink profile a stronger one.  

Q6. How to create SEO backlinks?

Ans: The faster way to build a stronger backlink profile for your site is to leverage the larger audience of the top-ranking industry sites. But for that, you need to get referrals from the top industry leaders, and that requires proven link-building strategies.

Let’s start from the basics.

In order to get your site promoted by the most popular sites in your industry, you need to focus on high-quality content creation. Start by analyzing the best-performing content on a relevant topic and try to create your own that is better and more informative than the previous ones. Try adding infographics, stats, reports, and other visual elements to create unique content.

Now, the secret lies in effective influencer outreach. Find out the right bloggers, site owners, web masters, journalists, media persons, and reporters who are actively looking for content similar to yours. 

Try to build a stronger relationship with them by offering them real value in terms of content. You can repurpose, update, or edit your own content so that it aligns with their specific needs. Also, never hesitate to offer your help for content updates on their website. This way, you will earn their trust, and it will help you to secure the best backlink-building opportunities in the future.

Do not forget to join popular social media platforms, community forums, and participate in Q&A sessions to make your industry network stronger. Connecting with the popular site owners and bloggers in your industry will earn your site premium backlinks if your site content is already a linkworthy asset.

Q7. How can a backlink checker help me build a strong backlink profile for my website?

Ans: A backlink checker tool can take your link-building journey to a whole new level.

Before you start putting in your efforts to build backlinks, it is important to perform a solid backlink audit of your site for better insights into the link gaps and link-building opportunities. 

A backlink checker tool can help you analyze your competitors’ backlink profiles in detail. 

It will provide you with detailed information about site metrics such as the number of backlinks acquired, referring domains, backlink quality, keyword rankings, organic traffic, and Domain Authority of the linked sources, etc. 

All of these will help you outline a solid link-building strategy that will drive measurable SEO results for your site. You will get a better idea of the target websites and the link-building patterns that are effective.

Also, with a backlink checker tool, you will identify the low-quality backlinks much faster and remove them to keep your profile SEO-friendly.

In short, a backlink checker tools provide you with an in-depth understanding of your site’s current backlink profile, its position in today’s SEO landscape, and its true potential to explore future link-building opportunities. 

Q8. Is it possible to build more than 1000 backlinks for my website within a month?

Ans: Yes!

It is possible to build more than 1000 backlinks for your site in just a month if you know how to do it the right way.

First, it is crucial to understand your target audience. Look into Google Analytics to track your audience’s preferences, engagement patterns, and their queries. Based on that, create content that addresses their specific questions, doubts, and requirements. 

However, do not forget to work on your site’s visual aspects and responsiveness. Make it as appealing and engaging as you can and optimize it for all devices. According to recent data, around 62.06% of online visitors browse websites from their mobile devices. So, make sure you design an adaptive web design for enhanced user experience, engagement, and functionality.

Now let’s talk about the strategies that work.

1. Try reverse outreach: When reaching out to influencers seems difficult, let them reach out to YOU! In spite of connecting with them, focus on high-quality content creation that will create an urgency among the top industry leaders and bloggers to link to your content. 

2. Target the journalist keywords: The journalists use specific keywords when actively looking for content to link to. Identify these industry-relevant keywords and add them to the headlines and in between your site’s content for better online visibility and accessibility. 

This will earn you high-quality backlinks from reputable sources such as news publications and reports.

3. Create your own stats page: According to recent data analysis and reports, sites with relevant data and proven statistics, presented in an easy-to-read format, get more backlinks compared to websites with irrelevant content. 

So, collect relevant and useful data from authentic sources and organize it in the right way so that your site gets high-quality backlinks naturally.

Aim to provide value to your target audience in the best way possible, and you will manage to get a lot of premium backlinks for your site.

Q9. What should be the ideal number of backlinks that I should aim to build in a month?

Ans: There is no fixed number of backlinks that you must acquire in a month. 

When it comes to link-building, quality matters more than quantity. As a beginner, you should aim to build 10-15 high-quality backlinks per month. In fact, 10 backlinks from authoritative sources are always better than 100 low-quality backlinks from spammy sites. 

However, once you have a good start, you can always aim to acquire more backlinks per month. In short, as long as you implement ethical link-building strategies and you put in manual influencer outreach efforts, you are good to go even if you manage to get 5 backlinks in a month.

Q10. Is there an easy way to build backlinks?

Ans: Unfortunately, NO!

Building backlinks is never easy…

It requires proper planning, a clear roadmap, and a strategic implementation of effective link-building techniques to achieve premium backlinks. 

However, there are a few things that will make your link-building journey much more effective and faster. 

For example, learn to identify the right website or influencer for outreach. Pitching to random site owners and bloggers will not only slow down your link-building process but also result in nothing. So, target websites with high-quality content, Domain Rating, and Authority, and a huge organic traffic. 

Also, aim to offer value to your audience through content. Before reaching out to popular industry leaders, make sure your content is updated, useful, and relevant. Build trust with the site owners and their audience through guest posting, broken link fixing, etc. 

Create content that aligns with the specific requirements of journalists and bloggers. This will earn you natural backlinks from some of the best industry sources. Last but not least, find unlinked brand mentions because they are the easiest to acquire. 
Remember, there is no shortcut to building high-quality backlinks for your site. You must learn to leverage your industry network and the larger audience base of authoritative sites for faster backlink acquisition.
