What is link building and everything you want to know about it


Search engines use links present on the whole internet in order to find popularity of a website/blog. So if you have high quality links from top blogs or any other ways you will receive a higher rank in Google search results. So start building links to your blog and see the magic in search engine results.

Top link building strategies that actually works

Guest posting

Guest posting is one of the best and my favorite Method of building links. Guest post gets a quality dofollow backlink. Try to find a good blog with similar niche which has high domain authority and a good PR. Then summit a guest post to that blog. Guest posting helps in a lot ways. It also gives popularity to your blog.

Conducting interviews

Conduct interviews of major bloggers in your niche and you will be surprised to see that your post will get lot of shares on social web’s. Yes it is true. You can build links to your blog  from those shares. Interviews are almost shared by all the bloggers and people in the same field. So interviews too have a good potential to get links.

YouTube Videos

Make some videos, upload it to YouTube, add your blog’s link in description and share them. It will get you a quality link. Your blog will also receive a good amount of traffic. This is one of the best methods too. I use it often.

Images

You can convert your images into links. Add alt tag and give the images a title. It will improve its ranking in Google images search.

Infographis/Pictures

Create interesting images and infographics. These are usually shared by everyone. So you can get a good amount of shares=links.



Q:- Are social shares and Normal links same?

The answer: in one word is “No”. Social shares are lot more powerful then normal links. They show the trustworthiness and popularity of a thing.In simple words More the shares=More people liking it= Useful stuff.

Q:- should you buy links?

The answer is no. Search engines don’t like Paid links. And as soon as they find about your links you will be penalized. So don’t welcome Search Engines to penalize your blog. Instead write quality stuff and get manual shares.

Q:- Should you use software to build links?

Again I will say a no to it. If u want to be a long time successful blogger then don’t even think about shortcuts. Those Software’s will give you a bounce in your links but Google algorithm updates will penalize you. So better stay out of all this and focus on manual links & Content.

 Q:- Should you hire cheap rate SEO experts for building links?

Again a big “NO”. If they claim to get you high rankings on SE in very less days then they must be using some software’s as I had already mentioned above the problems created by these software’s.

Final words


Link building plays a key role in SEO (As mentioned above). Work for it. Don’t ever think that Google is an idiot. Don’t even try to fool it, Sooner or later it will know whatever you did. And you will be penalized. The only alternative is to write quality content and “Hard Work”. There is no substitute to Hard Work so everything else is wasted if you are not working hard and trying shortcuts.
