Here are some big linkbuilding do’s and don’ts:
DO:
- Build links to brand home page: this will help boost the domain as an authority
- Inside page link building: Focus on USP’s or keywords that you want to rank for and link to your inside pages for those specific USP’s
- Guest Blogging: This is still OK to do. As long as the post and content is relevant to the topic of the site and discussion, this is still fine to do.
- Expand your blog channels, you will gain more authority.
- Use social media to promote content and gain visibility. This will grow your links.
- Competitor back-link analysis. Secure strong links that a good competitor may have.
- Make sure there is content to support your linkbuilding efforts.
- Focus on quality of links, not quantity.
- Use infographics, videos, images to linkbuild.
- Use no follow.
- Stay away from footer links.
- Cross-link your businesses.
·Don’ts
- Use the same network of small blogs, it will send a negative signal.
- Rely on the page rank meter
- Focus on quantity of links
- Release press releases that are not newsworthy.
- Participate in linkbuilding networks
Again, the message is still the same. Linkbuilding still has great value as long as it’s done correctly, strategically, and it adds value to your website. The saying “Quality vs Quantity” absolutely applies to this topic. Keep this saying in mind as you create and execute your linkbuilding strategy.
