Scroll down to uncover the strategies…..
Let’s unveil the top 7 link building strategies for SEO that may make boom in 2019.
Tip #1 – Choose A Timeless Topic!
Frankly telling, choosing a topic is the key to unlock Google’s first page door. Unfortunately, people often turn a blind eye to this crucial aspect. So, if you truly need to build quality backlinks for your website, you should first select the evergreen or timeless keyword that may hook people to link to.
What is An Evergreen Topic or Keyword?
An evergreen keyword is typically a search term that will be fresh forever. For instance, if you are a fitness trainer or run a gym, “WEIGHT LOSS” can be an evergreen keyword for your link building strategy. When you chose an evergreen keyword to write a blog for your website, your content will gain ground to secure high ranking in Google as well as get traffic for a longer period of time.
Tip #2 – Turn Your Timeless Topic into A Timeless Content!
Right after choosing the timeless topic, your next step should be to turn that topic into a captivating content. How will you make sure your content is captivating and useful to the audience.
To be sure on this point ask yourself the following questions:
- Is your content visually more stunning than your rivals?
- Is your content longer than the top 10 ranking contents?
- Is your content relevant, informative and up-to-date?
- Does your content have actionable tips?
- Is your content easy to read?
- Is your content better and different?
- Is your content able to satisfy users’ intent?
If you are nodding in ‘YES’, smile J and move ahead. You have a great content in hand for building high quality links.
Remember, most of the people often assume that if their content is better than their competitors, quality backlinks will automatically come to it and they sit back and relax. It is absolutely WRONG! You must promote your content to build the links, it will help you get the faster and better result.
Understand it in this way, If you don’t promote your content, how your audience will come to know about it and if they don’t know about your timeless content, how will they link to it?
Make sense? Agree?
Good! Go on!
Tip #3 – Steal the Quality Backlinks of Your Competitors
First, search for your timeless keyword on Google. Next, you have to list down which are the top 10 ranking pages and who link to these top ranking pages.
Add each URL into a backlink analysis tool and find out how many backlinks does it have. A top ranking content may have THOUSANDS of backlinks and these backlinks are your next step to success. Reap this opportunity smartly. Now, you need to build these links (the more you do, the better it is) to your timeless content.
