7 Ways To Get More Backlinks For Your Blog

by 2 Comments

Backlinks are very important to boosting your SEO. Backlinks put a link on your blog on other places on the web. Not only will people on other places on the web be able to go to your blog, but your blog will also rank higher on Google. Getting quality backlinks is better than having a quantity of backlinks. Right now, I am going to tell you seven ways that you can get the best of both worlds: quality and quantity.

  1. Become a guest blogger. I am an active guest blogger on Business2Community. Not only does guest blogging result in more traffic to my blog, but Business2Community is now a backlink for my blog. The more guest blogs you write for, the more backlinks you will get. However, be sure to write at least 5 guest posts on the same blog in order to build your presence on that guest blog.
  2. Write quality content. If you want to get people to write about your blog (and get a backlink), you need to write quality content. As you write more blog posts, people will have more options of writing about you and your content.
  3. Write pages on the web that link to your blog. There are many options to do this. I primarily use Squidoo, but Zujava, HubPages, and Wizzley are other options. I recommend using Squidoo because it is the best one, you can donate to charities, and it is very easy to create a page on Squidoo. Here is an example.
  4. Verify your blog on Pinterest. This is a simple way to get a high quality backlink. There are numerous plugins that can get the job done, and having your blog verified on Pinterest will boost your SEO.
  5. Create more blogs. This one may be a bit tough to do considering that you would have to update multiple blogs every day/week. However, if you are willing to take the challenge, you can have your blogs link to each other and improve the SEO for all of your blogs. In addition, if one of your blogs gets thousands of visitors every day, those traffic stats trickle to your other blogs as well.
  6. Backlink exchanging. Although my blog does not participate in backlink exchanges (unless Zuckerberg comes by. Then I bend the rules), they are a method that beginners can use to get a voice on the web. If you exchange backlinks with 100 people, you will have 100 extra backlinks on the web. If you decide to do backlink exchanging, be sure to exchange backlinks with a blog that is similar to yours.
  7. Write articles on Bubblews. Not only will you be able to make money for every view on Bubblews, but you will also be able to get a backlink to your blog. The secret method is to add a URL to your blog in one of your Bubblews articles just like I did for this article. Bubblews is a very popular site, and it will give your blog a quality backlink.

Those are the seven ways to get more backlinks on your blog. Do you have any additional tips or thoughts? Please share them below.

 

How To Keep The Momentum Going On Your Blog

by Leave a Comment

Everyone is focused on getting more traffic to their blogs. However, few people focus on keeping the momentum going. This results in a big spike, and then traffic continues as if the big spike had never happened. In order to keep the traffic that you gain, you need to keep the momentum going on your blog.

There is no better way to keep the momentum going than by getting more subscribers. By getting people to subscribe to your blog, they will be constantly notified every time you come out with a new blog post. As these people read several blog posts on your blog, some of them will decide to buy your products. In addition, they will visit your blog frequently. Having a subscription box that is easy to see is one of the many ways to get more subscribers on your blog.

Getting people to subscribe to your blog is not enough. Once a subscriber visits your blog for a second time, or when you get a first time visitor, you want those people to stay on your blog for as long as possible. In order to get more people to stay on your blog, you need to reduce your blog’s bounce rate. Reducing your blog’s bounce rate will increase the amount of time a visitors stays on your blog.

In addition, you need to make it easy for people to share your blog posts on their social networks. I have social sharing buttons at the end of all of my blog posts. This allows people to easily share my content across multiple platforms. Do not forget to add pictures to your blog posts so people can share your blog posts on Pinterest.

By keeping the momentum on your blog, you will be able to keep most of the traffic that you gain when you see a spike in traffic. It is possible to have 50 daily visitors and suddenly encounter a spike where you get 200 visitors for the day. By implementing these tactics and having your blog battle-ready, you will be able to keep most of the people from the spike in traffic. Instead of falling back to 50 daily visitors, you may be able to get 75-100 daily visitors after the spike is over.

 

4 Simple Ways To Get A Quick Increase In Blog Traffic

Traffic

Going from 0 daily visitors to 100,000 daily visitors takes a lot of time and effort. The thought of getting more blog traffic has been believed to be a slow process in which the most persistent bloggers are the most successful ones. However, there are some ways to get more blog traffic immediately. These are 4 ways to do that:

  1. Include share buttons at the bottom of your blog. This is a simple step to implement that will allow more people to share your content with their social networks. Some blogs get a few extra visitors with this method while other blogs get a few thousand extra visitors.
  2. Include links to your older blog posts in your new ones. Once you get visitors, you want them to stick around. If your visitors read multiple blog posts on your blog, that reduces your blog’s bounce rate. A blog with a low bounce rate has a better SEO rank. Decreasing bounce rate is a simple way to get a better PageRank on Google.
  3. Write a guest post on a popular blog. Putting your content in front of a larger audience will allow more people to know about you. When people look at your bio, they will see your social networks and a link to your blog. Once you get them to visit your blog, your bounce-rate-improved blog will keep those visitors on your blog for a longer period of time. Writing a guest post and including a link to your blog in the bio will also count towards a backlink.
  4. Use HARO. I have mentioned HARO (Help A Reporter Out) many times because it is an easy way to get free PR. Big media outlets related to your niche are using HARO to find people like you. If the journalist likes your submission, they will feature you on a popular blog, TV show, or magazine. Being featured on the blog gives you another backlink while all three give you free PR.

Those are 4 ways to see an immediate change in your blog traffic. While some tactics take weeks or months to see a big change from, these tactics will allow you to see an immediate increase in traffic. I can’t promise you will go from 0 daily visitors to 100 daily visitors overnight, but I can promise you a noticeable increase in traffic.
