Check for Google Penalties

If you are looking to guarantee that the link opportunity you are considering is of the best level of quality, you can verify whether or not it has been impacted by Google’s algorithm using the free Website Penalty Indicator tool. This utility permits you to type in a domain name and view its approximated search activity, as well as features of substantial Google innovations.

When should you decide a link opportunity is not worth risking a decrease in search engine traffic? In cases when there is a correlation to a transition made in the Google algorithm and the webpage’s traffic has not been regained, the following illustration is an example.

The quantity of visitors to this website finding it through natural Google searches has persistently dropped since they experienced the inaugural Google Panda update in 2011. Consequently, getting a connection from this place is improbable to be recognized as advantageous from Google’s perspective.

Evaluate Opportunities Closely

This is the difference between link creators with outstanding skills and those who employ deceitful methods. Spammers would examine these chances and deliver a general form email to all of them, requesting a connection.

Link builders that are proficient are going to take a look at potential link possibilities.

Here are a few of the things one may see once assessing the most promising link possibilities.

  • Your competitor obtained the link by submitting their website to a specific category in the website’s directory.
  • Your competitor obtained the link by submitting a great piece of content to the website’s blog.
  • Your competitor obtained the link by creating a profile in the website’s community.
  • Your competitor obtained the link by sharing a quote, fact, or statistic to support content on a specific page on the website.
  • Your competitor obtained the link by posting a job listing on a high authority domain.
  • Your competitor obtained the link by offering the website a unique piece of content, such as a tool, badge, or other resource that related to a specific page’s content.
  • Your competitor obtained a link that you will likely not be able to get due to a difference in website or specific partnership. However, the website offers other link opportunities such as a directory, blog, community profile, or resource page.

Analyze Your Competitor’s Link In-Depth

There are a few things you need to analyze about your competitor’s link:

  • What page the competitor’s link is placed on.
  • Where the link is placed on the page.
  • What content supplements the link.
  • Where the link goes on the competitor’s website.
  • The recency of the link placement.

One example would be your rival gaining a link on Amazon. Investigating further could lead to discovering that the connection is located in their Askville forum.

One individual provided a reply to an inquiry on Amazon’s forum which contained a connection pointing to a particular page on a rival’s website. They included connections to other rivals in order to raise the value, identifying that a link builder could have produced the same result for your rival that would indicate they were a learned member of the community. It is likely that you can get your own link, however, prior to that you have to hunt for questions that have relevance to your link in the online community.

Therefore, if you wish to obtain a comparable link in this article or some other article, your website would have to provide an excellent resource for finding out about distance education and finance a grant.

Create Custom Content

Now is the fun part. In order to get the most valuable backlinks for your website, you should put effort into creating content that will make it easy for websites to link to your site. Try to come up with content that is similar to what competitors have done so that you can maximize the link opportunities they have attained. It is easy to assume that all directory listings or community profiles are the same; however, some are more successful in appealing to users than others. The better ones would motivate an individual to select your link, while the poorer ones would make them look elsewhere.

If you are looking to acquire precise hyperlinks, it is essential to craft material for entries in directories, personal bios, and blogs. It is necessary to conduct some investigation and uncover intriguing statistics and facts that can be credited to you. You have to generate exceptional instruments, advertisings, pictures, and footage that people would like to spread around.

Essentially, you should strive to produce content that outperforms your competitor. Rather than trying to take your competitor’s links, the intention is to offer a supplementary source of information (which, if possible, will be more useful). One way to make a difference could be to put together a thorough and considerable guide on a certain subject. Or creating a better-designed calculator. Or creating a more streamlined template. You don’t always have to start from scratch, usually it’s just a matter of making small changes and advancements.

Obtain the Link

Once you have determined all of the possible link possibilities and crafted the proper content for them, it’s time to begin acquiring your backlinks. You don’t need to do any extra work for directories, community profiles, question and answer websites, and message boards; simply comply with the instructions laid out on each of those sites.

If you wish to gain link prospects through guest posting, be sure you don’t approach the site in the same manner as every other guest poster or worse, come off like a link spammer. Factors that make a difference between a poor and desirable guest blogging request include the following three items.

  • Personalizing the email in the form of addressing a specific blog owner or editor by name.
  • Demonstrating you have thoroughly gotten to know the blog. Something to the effect of “I just finished reading your guest post guidelines, and would love to contribute a 1,500 word post on [something that matches the topics in the guidelines].”
  • Expressing interest in being more than just a one-off guest blogger. Many sites are now asking for people to be regular contributors. Some go so far as only giving nofollow links to one-time guest bloggers.
