There are many factors google
and other search engines use to rank a blog, recently the number one ranking
factor is Backlinks. Yes backlinks...backlinks are are permalinks or links pointing
to your site from another site, and the higher the site that is linking to you,
the higher your page will rank in google and other search engines. It is better
to have 10 backlink from a site with high DA (Dormain Authority) than 10000
from sites with low DA, as the later can affect your ranking negatively.
There are several ways to
build quality backlinks for your blog, and I'll be sharing with you a handfull
of them to build backlinks for your blog fast. If you want to get quality
backlinks from high authority sites, then you are at the right place.
Before we begin, I'll like to
share a word of advice with you relating to this post. It is highly important
you take note of these things before you begin building backlinks for your
blog.
1. Be Consistent: Consistency
pays. You should have a fixed schedule when building backlinks. Instead of
building 50 backlinks in one and nothing the next 2-3 days, it is better to
split and schedule 5 backlinks a day. This way, you are creating trust for your
website from google.
So in summary, be consistent
and have a schedule not only building backlinks, but creating posts for your
blog.
2. Be Patient: Most people
are so much in a hurry and when they aren't getting the desired results in time
they give up and look for other quick ways which may end up getting their blog
penelized. I'll advice you to be patient. After being consistent with your
backlinks building, you should be patient for results to happen. You don't just
get results immediately, remember there are other competitive blogs out there
who have started way longer than you. As people always say, “the
patient dog eats the fattest bone”. I believe a word of advice is enough for the wise.
Now
let's begin
How
to Build Backlinks for your Blog Fast
* Guest Blogging: This is the
best source of getting backlinks to your blog. Guest Blogging is the process of
writting articles for other blogs related to your niche. There are lots of high
authority blogs out there for many years that have gained the trust of google and
search engines. So getting backlinks from such blogs will rapidly skyrocket
your rankings.
One mistake you shouldn't make
is to over use this priviledge. You shouldn't make one blog your only source of
getting backlinks and therefore litter the blog with so many links, this can be
considered spam by google bots. You should try to guest-blog for as many related
high authority blogs/sites as possible, this way your backlinks will look
natural.
To get started with Guest
blogging, first find high authority blogs with related niche and ask the admin
for guest posting. If you are approved, then write unique articles and embbed
your url along with the article. Let me end here for Guest blogging.
* Commenting on Blogs: This
is another way to build quality backlinks to your blog. This is a much easier
way to build backlinks compared to Guest Blogging and it requires little time.
First you have to read the full Article on the blog you want to comment on and
write a lenty and appreciative comment. Most blogs gives the priviledge to
include your url in the comment. You should avoid spammy comments, this could
have a negative effect on your ranking.
* Web Directories: Before the
existence of search engines, bloggers submitted their contents in the web
directory database. You can submit your blog as well as Articles to web
directories with high authority to get high page ranking on search engines.
This method is similar to Guest blogging, but note that you must have impressive
writing skills to get your article approved by these high ranking directories; because
some of them are very strict. To get started, google search for high page
ranking directories.
* Link Exchange: You can
exchange links with other blogs with high page rank. You may have seen on some
blogs footer or sidebar something like “Our Partners”, this is a great
way to get huge traffic to your blog especially if the blog that is linking to
you is very popular.
*
Broken Links: This method involves you searching for broken links (404 error
pages) on top blogs and websites and then contact the owner and let him/her
know about the broken links. Then you can offer to replace the broken link with
your website. By doing so, you are equally offering him/her a favor, because a
link to your website is better than a 404 error page.
You
can use this tool to check for broken links on a webpage. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/check-my-links/ojkcdipcgfaekbeaelaapakgnjflfglf?hl=en-GB)
*
Submit Ebook to document sharing sites: This is another unique way to get huge
amount of backlinks to your blog. Most documents sharing sites are trusted by
Google and in addition, they have a very high page ranking. To do this, you can
convert some of your blog posts to PDF and include a link back to your site. Then
look for document sharing sites online and submit your ebook and don't forget
to include your URL in the form when submiting your ebook.
You
can try these two ebook submition sites
1. Scribd
2.
Docstoc
*
Backlinks from .Edu Site: .Edu sites are highly trusted by google and search
engines and they also have very high page rank. The most popular and highly
used way to get backlinks from .Edu sites is through Scholarship page i.e creating
a scholarship page and describing the scholarship and how people can register,
then you submit your blog to .edu sites. But you can also use resource pages to
get backlinks from .edu sites. Some .Edu sites have a resource page where they
link to websites that are educative to their students. You can search for .edu
sites online and email them showing your helpful topics and posts that are
related to their resource page.
Don't
expect to get replies from them, but a few of them may post your link on their
resource page. No matter how few are linking to you, your page rank will spontaneously
increase.
You
can find .edu sites in the below formats
site:.edu “keyword”
site:.edu “keyword”
+ “resources”
site:.edu: “keyword”
+ inurl:links
I hope these methods help you
build quality backlinks to your blog fast. But before I end this Article, I
want to give you a final tip, which is:
Content is king.
Inspite of all the methods I
have outline above, if your content sucks; don't expect high ranking websites to
link to you. You should never make the mistake of stuffing your posts with
spammy keywords, this is a very good way to loose your rankings in search
engines. You must write natural as though you are in a conversation with
someone...or are your contents meant for google bots and search engines?
With that said, we have come
to the end of this article. There are many more ways to get backlinks to your
blog like Social bookmarking sites e.g Digg, Blogging Communities e.g Blokube, Blogger Reviews, Feedback Sites, Blog Aggregators. The list goes on, but that
is topic for another day.
I hope you enjoyed this
Article? You can share with your friends on social media. Thanks for visiting,
and do have a nice day.
