Links are still considered to be the largest ranking factor in SEO which makes them a major part of the process. Getting good quality links is considered to be next to impossible, but we have listed five techniques which can help you get the links you need:

1. Ask for backlinks:

Ask your clients, friends and colleagues who have websites for backlinks to your website of blog. It’s a good place to start for a beginner and is better if the backlink is incorporated in the content instead of in the footer or a sidebar. The backlink which leads to your site should be from a site which is relevant to your specific niche. If the link is present on a site which is not related to the content you upload, then it would set a bad impression and may even be harmful.

2. Build relationship:

To obtain good backlinks, you need to establish good relationships with the owners of many sites and blogs. Always make sure that the people who you contact and interact with are working in the fields related to your content. Take part in discussions and offer your comments on the posts being uploaded. Make sure your views have some contextual value. Doing this will not only help in acquiring quality backlinks but you will also form connections within the community of your content and have the latest news in the industry.

3. Give testimonials:

Link building through testimonials benefits everyone involved. Many businesses offer chances to their customers to provide feedback on their products. Writing testimonials helps to build customer trust and form a relationship with the business. It is also an opportunity to obtain a good backlink and traffic from a website which has a higher approval rate than the usual email asking for a link.

4. Good quality guest posts:

Many blogs and websites accept guest posts, but when writing one, make sure that the blog or website where you are submitting is related to your subject. Don’t overemphasize your own blog or website and keep your focus on quality of the post as a badly written post can give you a bad reputation.

5. Infographics:

The trend is steadily shifting away from text heavy posts to more visual based content, images, videos and especially infographics. Infographics have the added advantage of making use of numbers to provide bite sized chunks of information at a glance with a visual aid for correlation. They grab people’s attention and can very easily go viral.

Building links on SEO is a difficult task but the rewards make it all worthwhile. Having your blog or website become popular would open up many other avenues to further your reach.
