Link Building Strategies

by trevor. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

I’ve been doing quite a lot of link building recently, what with building natural search traffic being a rather cost effective way of marketing.  Here are some strategies I have used:

Flowers/Chocolate

I’ve found sending flowers or chocolate to target directories to be a very effective way of getting listed fast.  Only really worth it for high authority sites!

Reviews

People love a freebie!  Asking other bloggers to review products can be cost effective way of building incoming links.  One of our toys for example is about £6-8 wholesale.  Here is an example review.

Content Swap

Writing content for other people’s blog is sometimes a good tactic if you have something interesting and relevant to say.  Don’t make it too salesey or in fact, salesey at all.  Here is an post which combines my passions for entrepreneurship and baby products.

    Hey,

    One good and I have to say very powerful way to get your blog noticed, I mentioned blog because they are the most loved and indexable websites out there on the net!

    Is to register your blog at blog directories like 'Technorati', this builds you good baclinks from other blog owners coming in from the directories, and if your blog and theirs are in the same niche, then this gives you good standing for relevance on Google!

    Love the flowers / chocolate tip!  One that has worked especially well for us is offering to write case studies / testimonials for services and/or products you use for business.  It’s a win-win:  the company usually gets a glowing testimonial and you get a chance to link back to your site.

    This can work really well for even high-profile sites if you position yourself correctly, and give them an idea of exactly why you love them and how you’ll convey that to their audience.  Just make sure you do this with companies who you actually love and recommend.  Otherwise, your credibility will quickly disappear.
