Creative Ways to Grab Quality Link to your Website!

March 6, 2011 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Moosa Hemani

Quality Links

From the old school till the modern world of search engine optimization what remains the same is link. Linking or link building is still the essential part of SEO strategies, even today getting link from reputable and relevant websites can boost your website credibility in search engines and you can be in the top 10 listings from the desired keywords.

Internet marketers in general and link builders In particular will agree that getting link from reputable websites need lots of effort and sometimes after everything one turned out getting no link.

In this post I am going to cover some creative ways that can allow you to get some great links for your websites.

Guest Posting

Let’s start with the common first! Guest postings are one the most discussed topic in the search industry and beyond. Everyone have blogs today and there are some great blogs almost in every niche, no matter if you niche is small like home improvement or as big as real estate there are some high quality blogs that may allow you to contribute to their blog as a writer. I personally tried myself by emailing to different blogs most of the blogs usually like other people to help them generating great and informative content that helps users.

Create How to’s!

This is easy and loveable; people love to share if your content is good, informative and reader can get benefit from it. How to guide are normally very useful for visitors and customers and they can easily share this kind of content because more likely they can relate to it. Creating informative how to’s is one of the way to get your visitor engage with the website and also to get some great links from time to time.

Discuss the Myths

Myths usually contains two or more opinions, discussing a myth on the website will on one hand allow visitors to engage with the website and discuss their point of views, and on the other hand will help your website getting some generic links from many different URLs. Discussing the myth, uncover them to bring at the front and allow others to share their views can be one of the fastest yet creative way to get vital links for your website.

Break the Ice

Be an Ice breaker, this is comparatively a difficult job then the above mentions but if you succeed once the result will be worthwhile. To work on this idea one should be active on social media’s like Twitter and create personal contacts to industry journalist and keep an eye on every new change that happened in that particular niche.

Social Media Apps

Why not social media? Just because it’s no-follow? If yes, then think again! Google count social signals as its ranking algorithms. Designing a social media application is without a doubt a powerful ways t o generate links and traffic to the website. Facebook Application is one of the best way to market your business and engage your potential customers with the businesses yet get links.

Interviews

I took interview with Lisa Barone as my first post on Search Engine Journal and it turned out well. People not only get in and engage but also talked about the interview on other blogs and link the post on so many places. I think Interviews can grab lots of link but you have to be sure that the interview should be of some reputable person from your industry and your questions are very much related to professionalism and not about the person’s personal life.

Make People Smile

I wasn’t knew Jamiat at all, I start reading about him after that incident and one of the very first thing I learn from him was this, make people smile and they will love you back. I posted another post on SEJ and it turned out so well, people not only tweeted the post but also share it on other blogs and newsletters which means some great links.

Surveys

This is very attractive to me but I always hate doing that, may be because it takes too much of time and boring. Creating surveys required lots of knowledge and stats, the good part is not many people are doing this even most of the time people like linking to the exiting survey instead of creating their own. Surveys can bring some great links on your website.

Info-graphics

Info-graphics works faster than surveys and again not much people are doing that so chances are to higher to get some great links within a short span of time. One other reason why people love to link to info-graphics is that they are images that grabs readers eyeball and people find pleasure in reading those.

Freebies

This works especially if you have a service business but applies to product businesses as well. Freebies, who didn’t like FREE? Give freebies to visitors to your blog or website. This is will not only bring you loyal leads but also give you the link love, people will talk about your FREE services on other blogs and you will get some instant links for free.

These are few of the creative link building techniques I used to get some quick links, I didn’t mention some common link building techniques like Directory Submissions, Article Syndication, blog commenting, Forums and others.

Do you have any creative idea that can bring some great link love for the website? Please share!

    These are great ways to gain links to your site. The thing to do is to always grab your reader`s attention and this can be done by using enticing headings or discussing a topic which is subject to a huge debate.
  2. Abel Pardo says:
    This is really one of the most difficult things even for proffesionals. Thank you for the tips, and be careful with black hat ;)
  3. Satrap says:
    Nice tips Moosa. Another great way to get quality backlinks would be creating "list" posts (10 ways to..., top 20...). People love these kinds of posts and often share them on their site.
  4. shan ali says:
    well i m only using commenting to get backlinks..... i will definitely try guest post on famousbloggers whenever i get something hot and new to share...
  5. Mark says:
    Moosa, Out of all of the points you mentioned, I have to admit that I like the "Discuss The Myths" or as some people call it "Controversy" the best. For me, those are the blog posts that receive the most comments. Some people call it "link bait". I call it "smart blogging". Great article. Mark
  6. karan says:
    I guess Breaking the news thing, is just for big blogs like Mashable and Techcrunch, new blogger's don't have a the required resources or the contact to get it done.
  7. ZK says:
    Yes one more thing ...People love controversial kind of link building technique as well.We have many examples where one controversy gave links back to the main blog.
  8. ZK says:
    Though this one is not a new list but however like the way you redefined it.Like your style of writing my friend.
  9. Cheryl from thatgirlisfunny says:
    Great ideas in this list! I've tried polls before. I never get many responses. I wonder if I'm asking the wrong questions? I like adding them to my posts even if people don't rush to give their response. Thanks for the reminder! I love using (other people's) infographics. There's a great one in my comluv link below. The people who design them get loads of backlinks. If I knew how to create one, then that would be a really cool vehicle to drive links to my site :)
  10. Nishadha says:
    I guess guest posting is the best way to get quality within content back links. There are so many ways to get links but it is always the time that gets in the way :-(
  11. Anne Sales says:
    Good info, thanks. I also like the idea of giving away freebies (must be quality, though) and discussing myths. People love to feel that their opinion count. You might also gain valuable insight into other needs your customers might have.
  12. Brad Davis says:
    Some great tips on generating links to your site.
  13. James - Intrahost says:
    SEO link building can be difficult. But if you can develop the traffic chances are people will naturally link to you. I like the idea of a giveaway. Perhaps one of the easiest ways to gain backlinks.
  14. Fisayo Sanyaolu says:
    Great article Moosa. I think I need to personally look into writing "How to" articles for my blog and as guest post. Thanks for sharing this wonderful ideas.
    • Moosa Hemani says:
      hey Fisayo best of luck for the How To idea infect track the success and share the results with us as well....
  15. TJ McDowell says:
    I like the idea of discussing myths. Not only will it generate comments, it also will probably be a way to get a decent number of links because at least some people were confused about the issue.
    • Moosa Hemani says:
      Yeah! but a thing to remember best practice can go worst (if over dozed)
  16. Andreas says:
    Often when you network with the right people in your niche, you can get highly relevant links from authority pages just by offering their visitors your help or advise.
  17. Alex says:
    Hello Moosa, Except the guest posting the other are some unconventional ways of getting links which can definitely help a lot, because google loves to see you have links from sources people have never used for link building before. Great tips and I really find your article but what does "I wasn’t knew Jamiat at all," mean?
    • Moosa Hemani says:
      Thanks Alex for your kind comment i really appreciate it and you are very much correct about the guest posting but i personally think that Guest blogging is not only a link building technique but do read this article http://dailyseotip.com/guest-blogging-not-just-link-building/1149/ where i said that link building more then just link building technique well Jamiat is the Guy (never met him nor any interaction) who died in an accident in UK. His tweets, writings and the people who are associated with him prove that he was an great SEO and the 1st thing i learn from his writing and tweets was i posted in the article.
  18. andreas says:
    Cool tips Moosa, I was wondering on creating a survey but I got stuck on the "how". Creating a poll however is easier and FREE! check acepolls.com. And no follow? I don't care. I would rather have a high traffic nofollow link than a pr3 do follow that nobody looks at. When good traffic gets to your content some will link to it anyway, and that nofollow link turns out to be a link multiplier. Just have some useful content ready. Regards, Andi
    • Moosa Hemani says:
      Thanks for the Appreciation! yeahs you are right polling is the one great way to conduct survey.... may be by adding the poll to the blog post or may be in the side bar or something....(one can easily find different free poll website on Google) and i really like your concept about link in general thats one way or the other a link bate.
  19. Tinh says:
    Thanks for listing them up but if I was asked to vote, #1 should be mine :-)
    • Sandeep says:
      agree with Tinh on that one! Good post -you've listed and explained them very clearly.. enjoyed reading the way you've listed each of them.
