SEO Quick Fire Link Building Tips

SEO Quick Fire Link Building Tips

As well as the processes above, I wanted to include a few quick tips that don’t need a huge amount of detail for you to implement quickly. These are a combination of ways to get links and general tips to make you more efficient.

Find competitors guest blog posts quickly

Here is a sneaky tip for you for when you’re doing competitor link analysis. If you happen to find a guest post that they have placed, take a snippet of text from the author bio and search for it in Google. This will tell you pretty quickly if they’ve used the same bio elsewhere. People are lazy, I bet some competitors will leave this kind of trail behind and it’s a easy way to grab a

few links.

Start your prospecting at page 10 of Google

The natural thing for us to do when we look for link prospects is to start at page 1 of results. But given the number of SEOs out there, plus the fact that many of us probably use the same types of searches, the bloggers on page 1 and page 2 are probably going to get a lot of outreach emails.

Why not start from page 10 instead? You can still check they are good quality but these sites are less likely to be bombarded with outreach emails, so you may stand a better chance of getting their attention.

Take bloggers to an event

If you have budget to spend (remember how cash can be a link building asset?) well this can be a great way to use it. If you work in the car industry and are trying to get the attention of car bloggers, why not take them to a car event or a racing day? This can be a great way of building relationships and opening doors to influential people.

Monitor Twitter for PR and Journalist requests

There are a couple of Twitter hash tags that PRs and journalists use when looking for help with a story. The main two to monitor are #PRREQUEST and #JOURNOREQUEST. Set these up in your Twitter account and check over them to see if any are relevant to you. You may not find loads and loads of relevant requests, but it is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
