How to get high-quality links to website?

[fisicx]

But logically, as per research and analysis on micro-level, these methods are still working if doing with proper manners.

Have you tried doing them yourself? What happened to your ranking when you submitted a video to youtube or converted one of your blog post to pdf?

Guest blog posting can have value but 99.9% of them are pointless. The ones that do add value only accept material from trusted sources and are not easy to join.

Lets say you spend 10 hours on link building. At £10/hour in wages that's £100 for something that might or might not work. But spend £100 on PPC ads and you have instant success.

Yes..

Guest blog posting can have value but 99.9% of them are pointless. The ones that do add value only accept material from trusted sources and are not easy to join.

Guest blog posting means not for ONLY post one blog and leave. Simply becoming a guest author on high authority websites and participating regularly.
**High authority websites can vary according to the business theme.

For example to our niches such as Linux, IBM, Sap Blog, Microsoft blog, oracle community, and more.

Lets say you spend 10 hours on link building. At £10/hour in wages that's £100 for something that might or might not work. But spend £100 on PPC ads and you have instant success.

Yes, you are right about calculation. No doubt, PPC ads can be delivered instant success as after all its depending on ROI. But sometimes you should think about the long term benefits.


That's why I stated :

But logically, as per research and analysis on micro-level, these methods are still working if doing with proper manners.

For high quality sites that are related to your business, you need to reach them through email and propose your unique and interesting content then most of the time they are paid but your post content with your link is lifetime and some of them are required to replenish.

 

[UKSBD]

Depending on your niche, what still appears a good way of getting links is providing nice looking badges, buttons, awards, etc. that people think look good on their sites.

I know it may seem like an early 00's tactic, but for craft sites, pet sites, moms n pops type sites they still seem very popular.

Flatter people, reward people, give them awards, etc. and you are far more likely to get a backlink

(I'm assuming this was a joke)

Can you please explain why are you considering it as a joke. Guest posting on niche websites gives high quality of backlinks.

It might do but it mostly doesn’t. Links in guest blog posts are self generated. If the site is authoritative and trusted then the links will have value. But most links will just be ignored by Google. They tell you this in their webmaster advice.

Hi all,

One suggestions from the industry experts I have gathered in my last 10 years of working in this industry. The link, those you are purchasing from the several site owners, or middleman should be having few quality may it be PBN or with low metrics. What are those?

The Domain Authority: Nowadays, Domain Authority (measured with a value between 0-100) is a prime factor to qualify as a good site. If a website has good domain authority (=>50+) it seems that you may approach the site admin to place your text link on the site. It is launched by MOZ.

The Domain Rating: Recently Domain Rating is also a good parameter that can identify a website as quality one. It is measured with a number between 0-100, and introduced by Ahrefs in the market. Also there are few other parameters, such as Url rating, Page Authority, Ahrefs Rank are there those are indicating the websites as good one.

But, it is suggested that before buying text links or placing your text links on the website, you must look the site content, backlink score, Alexa rank, domain age etc. those can really give your text link a good millage.

Please don't take these words as advice, I am not the guru of this industry, only collected some of the knowledge in my last 12 years career in this industry. Before that I was also attached to the IT sales where I have learnt a lot. Still I feel myself as a student in front of the ocean of knowledge. These are my few suggestions to all of you who are willing to buy Text Links for the purpose of backlink generation. If it works for you, I will feel myself honored.

 

[fisicx]

Domain Authority and Domain Rating may indicate a good website but what Google really wants is relevance. You could have score 100 on DA and DR but 0 on relevance. But a site that is a perfect match, is trusted and where the links form citations could do wonders for your ranking yet have a very low DR and DA score.

You are correct sir...

How to get high quality backlinks for your website, it’s important to note that for link-building to be optimally effective, there needs to be a solid on-page SEO foundation, which refers to the website’s content. I have some resources below, list of link-types that will get you started:

Guest Posts
Press Releases
Web 2.0 Creation
Social Profile
Video site submissions
Forum Posting
Local Business Listing
Blog Comments
PDF site submissions

 

[fisicx]

@Sam Khan - welcome to 2007. The rest of us have moved on to techniques that actually work.

 

[Kevin McCabe]

You can't

Pay for them

Exactly. High quality links don't come for free. Paid blogging is the best

 

[gpietersz]

Even if you have good quality links, its no guarantee. I had a site that used to be a nice earner, static content so work was just updating it. Search engine traffic plus ads.

It got links from all over - the BBC, the Guardian, NPR, blogs that actually have an audience, university sites (academic's pages, not just students).

One day it collapsed after an algo change, never came back.

That's worrying and dangerous. Did you investigate what the cause was? Were you something like punished by Google? I'd like to hear more about it. I guess there are a lot of things to be learnt here.

 

[gpietersz]

I think it unlikely I was penalised by Google, as I a cannot think of anything that could have casued a penalty.

The content was high quality enough for a few pages to get plagiarised by academics writing a textbook on the subject (the publisher, Springer, were pretty decent when I complained and paid be a few hundred Euros and added an acknowledgement to the errata) and to get cited in academic papers every so often.

I think its just that the subject matter made it pretty much a niche encyclopedia, and Google now strongly favours bigger sites like for stuff like that (Wikipedia in particular).

 

[gpietersz]

Frankly, I new it was a danger, although I did not expect it to be as sudden as it was.

If you depend on Google they can turn the tap off any time.

 

[Kevin McCabe]

That's true and this is always a risk of running a content based business. I know people have been deplatformed by Google. Basically Google just wiped them up the search engine and they are nowhere now. But still it's worth if you get an expert to look at it.

 

[fisicx]

I know people have been deplatformed by Google.

And this is almost always because they have tried to cheat the system. If you follow the advice given by Google you won't be penalised.

 

[gpietersz]

In my case the site collapsed seven years ago so its ancient history now.

The only thing I did that was dodgy was to add a footer link to the site to some free Wordpress themes about eight or nine years before that. They were not widely used ever, and even less so by the time the site collapsed.

Everything I did for after that was entirely white hat, rule abiding etc.

 

[fisicx]

Everything I did for after that was entirely white hat, rule abiding etc.

Except it wasn't. Google didn't like something you were doing and dumped the links from the index. Google doesn't penalise a site for no reason, there is always something that triggers the event.

A few years back Google decided that articles sites contravened it's T&C. There had been warnings about this for a long time and Google even published advice on why you should and should not be doing. When they finally got round to cleaning up the index there was much gnashing of teeth but everyone else said 'we told you so'.

 

[gpietersz]

That is why I said its an algo change, not a penalty. Certainly something that triggered the event but not anything I could have predicted, or that I have been able to infer since.

I did not get links from article submission sites, I did not buy links, I did not guest blog. Nothing at all like that.

 

[Kevin McCabe]

Not necessarily. Many people have been deplatformed merely because of their political views.

Thanks for sharing. Based on your experience what would be the best tactics to build backlinks? I am against PBN and any black hat techniques. But why the other method you just mentioned are not good?

 

[fisicx]

For example?

Based on your experience what would be the best tactics to build backlinks?

Build citations, referrals, testimonials and similar from authoritative sources that are related to your business. Which is going to be a problem as academia will not want to seen to endorse essay writing services - especially as many are asking for a ban on such businesses.

It's a common question that most of the users ask "How to get high-quality links to website" and there are also some common answers to this question.

I recommend creating only good quality relevant links for a website. Find the relevant sources for the powerful backlinks.

That's true. One million bucks question: How to convince powerful websites to give a back-link to you?

 

[fisicx]

Provide something they want, can cite, refer to or quote. Give them a reason to link to you.

For example, if you have plagiarism tool that can check an uploaded document in any format and compare against all other documents in a corpus then you should get referral links. But because you also have an essay writing service there will be reluctance to give you a referral.

As as been mentioned in other theads, newspapers, the bbc, PayPal and academia: essay writing services are frowned upon. No matter how you word it on your website, people are paying you to cheat.

 

[Kevin McCabe]

Spot on. Many universities are reluctance to give us a referral. Alternatively we have a PR professional which she approaches different websites and blogs in order to get a guest-post. It's costly because I have to pay for the content, web master, and a PR professional. But it works in long run. We also have a free plagiarism checker page which has basically the highest number of page visits on the website. Thanks for your advice.

 

[fisicx]

The problem with those guest posts is the lack of SEO benefit. Google has been warning against this for a while now and will just ignore the links. So unless these blog posts bring in a load of targeted traffic you are just wasting money.

 

[Mollie Rhodes]

You can not buy the links instead your content should be powerfull to earn the links.
Google can see the link is built or referred by some one? So, if you buy the link use link sponsor tag

 

[Sam Khan]

If you want to make some good quality links for your site then you should adopt off-page SEO techniques, means one should try some link building methods which are given below:

1. Article Submission
2. Guest post
3. Forum Posting
4. Business listing
5. High DA profile etc.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I do hope you weren't serious with these suggestions....

 

[sundaresh]

guest post is good option to drive organic traffic. For keywords ranking, if you have to optimize high traffic keywords

 

[fisicx]

Sorry but that's just gibberish.

 

[gpietersz]

@fisicx I am afraid not only is @Sam Khan serious, but it looks like he gets paid to do that sort of SEO for clients. This is why SEOs get a bad reputation.

 

[Rochus H]

I have been into this question for quite a while now too. Few keypoints that I stayed with:
1. Checking where do your competitors get the backlinks from and going for the same spots
2. Registering on various basic databases/yellowpages
3. Registering on all social media
4. Writing articles for various news portals/magazines/blogs. If the article has the value, they'll be more than happy to include your article. Everyone needs quality content.
5. Forums (don't spam though)
6. Ads on craigslist or other
7. Buying a place for your product listing in some review webpages

 

[fisicx]

@Rochus H

Those suggestions are probably not going to help your ranking but if you get lots of traffic from those sources then the end effect is the same.

 

[Rochus H]

Thanks for comments. Those are suggestions for just SEO backlinks. In other words, how to get up in search engines.

Of course, registering on databses or social media is not going to push you to the tops. But how much time does it take? 1 hour? Time vs effect.

I'm not talking about building up >10k followers base, which of course takes time. Just getting as many links and references to your name as possible on internet, which gradually builds SEO reputability.

Research on backlinks? Checking competitors backlinks takes 30 seconds, using free tools (such as ahrefs). The easiest one to handle. And getting your links on the same sites would be just a start. You also generate the knowledge, what kinds of sites could share your links and generate the traffic.

How else would you recommend to go up in SEO ranking?

 

[fisicx]

How else would you recommend to go up in SEO ranking?

Make sure your site is trustworthy, authoritative, demonstrates expertise, is informative, interesting and adds value. Create a site worthy of being ranked on page one.

Registering on databases and social media is pointless. Databases are mostly ignored and SM links are all no-follow.

Copying your competitors backlinks is a waste of time. They had the links before you did so you will never gain an advantage. And their links will only add value for their landing pages, your will be different so won't have the same effect.

If you want to build links you need citations, referrals and testimonials. The sort of links that show your site is worth ranking.

A client is in competition with a national association which has links to them from the BBC, wikipedia and some other big names. You have to know your strengths and work within them so local keywords feature more more strongly than general national terms.
