Backlinks — we marketers know these terms since the day we have been introduced in this realm. All the bloggers and SEO experts want them like crazily but only few of them can create backlinks. There is no doubt that content has been a part of SEO that can proffer great results, but along with real contents, backlinking is another vital elemant that marketers need.
Before we jump into finding different ways to create backlinks, let us first discuss about the few things that you need to keep an eye on. I this makes me sound like a maniac then I am. You know why? Because it is good for my blog.
- Relevancy is the key. In case you are linking your site with a website that is completely of different genre, it is better to leave it. If you are in the field of SEO, link with some SEO website, not a great beauty site.
- If your site has 500 backlinks but only few of them are for a reputed website, then Google will definitely not prefer your website. But when your website has 10 links and all of them are from reputed sites, you will be able to witness a genuine leap.
- Always keep in mind that most of the backlinks are bad, only a few of them are actually good for your website.
- If you are searching for good backlinks, then you have to put a lot of effort and time on it. But trust me, it’s worth it.
- Do not get links by making use of the single link building strategy. Abusing the correct method might can lead to something natural.
So this was all about the important things, without any further discussion, let us talk about the backlinks.

Here are some examples for finding the resource pages
- Keyword + “useful resources”

5. Start Guest Blogging On Reputed Sites:
Guest blogging is nothing new and can be said as one of the oldest and most relevant ways to earn backlinks. Because of its age, it has been now given various allegation of not being safe and much more. This is completely a false thing and one of the biggest misconceptions that one is dwelling into. Google readily accepts guest posts and I hope this statement is everything to stop some false news.
In guest blogging, all you do is write articles for some third party sites and then you can lick your website on the author’s bio or maybe within the articles (sometimes). If your article has that extra taste in it, readers will start visiting your website and will eventually increase the number of audience.
When you are ready for guest blogging, you need to know a few things:
- Never make use of keyword rich anchor texts
- Never do guest blogging for websites that have least authority
While some of the ways to create backlinks might not seems great, these are actually a great alternative when it comes to getting higher rank in Google. If you are able to follow, you are able to reach higher.
