Useful Techniques In 2017 | Interesting Link Building Tactics

Useful Techniques In 2017 | Interesting Link Building Tactics

We have been talking about link building in our previous posts and back again with a new set that will surely change your perception of how they are being built this year. The SEO Tulsa blog talks about organic searches and three of the most effective organic link building tactics.

Out with the old, in with the new. Some of the techniques we will enumerate below might be familiar to you, or could be your first time learning about them. Although some tactics had been around for awhile and had been used longer by many SEO marketing agencies, finding out the best strategies to be using this year will give you the upper hand in planning and implementing.

The Techniques And Methods

seo wilmingtonYou have to know what else can be done to improve website ranking in the search engine results pages (SERPs). In local searches, SEO Wilmington internet marketing is a fine example of a geographically sound ranking method. Would you go for the conventional, commonly used methods? Or would you risk diving in unfamiliar territories for a much, much better result?

Ranking-For-Links Technique

Writers and bloggers often search for references when they write a piece. When a reference link is reputable and of good quality, most likely they will link out to it. Ranking for links is about creating a piece of content specifically targeting keywords writers and bloggers would likely type into Google when searching for a reference content.

How? The niche-specific search query these people might search for when looking for a reference must be identified. Then start creating the content with the target keywords mentioned at least once or twice throughout the piece. The Google Keyword Planner is the best tool to use to check how often these keywords get searched for each month.

Missing Link Method

This method revolves around the idea of citation websites linking to your competition.  These properties are the ‘missing link’ to your link profile. Because, if the top-ranking websites are getting linking there, then it makes all the sense in the world you should too.

How do you find these links? First identify the competitors, those in the top 3 positions in the search rankings. Find out all the citation backlinks to each competitor website using tools like Majestic SEO and/or ahrefs. Once you have a list, assign an individual or team, depending on your manpower availability, to contact those in the list and send a request for them to reference your website.

Comment Collection Technique

The idea for this technique is to find posts that are similar to one of your most recent blog. The posts need to have a lot of comments from readers. Then, you can start contacting the comment posters, encourage them to check out your blog and leave a comment as well.

People who actively comment on posts are highly-engaged blog readers, which translates to them being avid readers and comment posters, and might link out to your website.

Here’s how this works:

  • Find popular posts with similar content to your most recent post.
  • Extract the websites and emails, and the name of the comment posters.
  • Send them a friendly message and ask for an opinion about your post.

Get The Dice Rolling

The link building tactics listed above require a lot of work, a lot of research, contact listing, and emailing people you know nothing about; but the returns could be mind blowing and could set both your page and domain authority soaring like kites on a windy, summer day.

Top 3 Organic Link Building Tactics | SEO Tulsa

Top 3 Organic Link Building Tactics | SEO Tulsa

In the past, several SEO experts and gurus have published lists of tested and proven link-building tactics that have worked for them. These tactics include website optimization and on-page SEO and optimizing visibility on other websites within their niches (off-page SEO).

Along with Google’s continually changing search engine optimization rules and search engine algorithm, came the localization of search results or more favorably called ‘organic results’ that mostly focus on providing search results based on the physical location of the user. This change has broadened the chances for local businesses to rank better in their area as well as in their local market.

Organic searches can do wonders for businesses. But this does not benefit local businesses alone, it is also a redeeming factor for powerful link building. In our SEO Bridgeport blog that came out recently, we narrowed down a few tactics that worked in 2016. This year, let’s dig into how we drive organic traffic to website with the tactics already practiced in our local SEO Tulsa processes.

Driving Organic Traffic To Build LinksInternet Marketing Tulsa

Let us not prolong it any longer, let’s dive into organically driving links to your website. Here are our tops picks:

#1 Video Creation and Sharing

How many silly and utterly mundane videos have gone viral over the internet? A gazillion, perhaps? Why has a crying baby gone viral? Or a teenage boy trying to pull a stunt but failed dramatically generated thousands of views. Why is this so?

The answer is simple. Video ise entertaining. It is informative, visually creative, and entertaining – a total package. To generate traffic and backlinks to your website, start by creating informative and pleasing videos. They should highlight your brand, product, and service.

Optimize the video title, description, and content with your target keywords so it will be properly indexed in the search engines. Once it’s up, start sharing it around in your target niche, on popular websites with related content, and on different social media platforms.

#2 Blog Posting and Sharing

We’ve established that content creation is crucial, one of the bloodlines that will keep your website legit and alive. Creating blogs, about site updates, new service news, relevant niche topics, or a guest post; will raise the bar to a higher level. The connection you can create with these blog posts is limitless so long as you know where and how to syndicate them.

Choose reliable, trust-worthy websites that accept content re-posting. Great examples are Reddit (topics are usually discussed in forums with over 36 million users) and StumbleUpon (a content discovery site that directs users to websites). Imagine exposing your blog content to multiple types of audiences you couldn’t reach on your own unless you spent thousands on ads.

#3 Photo Submission and Sharing

Technological advancement doesn’t just end with impressive link building tactics. It has turned the internet world into a much more versatile place for websites to thrive  and gain organic traffic. Creating an image gallery with pictures relevant to your niche and brand, optimizing it with the target keywords, and sharing the photos on image sharing platforms will get the site in the search results.

Google places high value and weight on images with target keywords. It is also important that all inbound links attached to the image(s) are do-follow links to get the best traffic results.

Find out what strategies you should avoid when creating links this year.

Top 3 Advanced Link Building Tactics For Beginners | SEO Bridgeport

If you have just taken a quick break after brooding over the number written on your ranking analysis, then you are one of the many enduring the daily grind of a keeping websites visible, relevant, and progressively ranking.

Localizing your search engine efforts does not only help attain an online presence, it also helps your potential customers find you locally. And one of the most effective methods ever to exist in the search engine optimization world is building links and connections to related websites.

In our SEO Greenville post recently, we discussed two simple concepts to earning relevant links toward your website. In our continuous effort to help small businesses grow their business, our local SEO Bridgeport has put up 3 more link building tactics for those who have now mastered the basics of earning links.

The Top 3 B’s In Advanced Tactics

SEO BridgeportWe are coining it the 3 B’s for the sole purpose of grouping them together and finding out how these three effective must-try tactics are proven to work by many SEO agencies. They come in any order and the results they produce will still depend on how far you are willing to invest, but still, the ranking results are exemplary.

Blog Community

With the quality content you have on your site, online users can now confirm that the website is legit. Now, focus on creating and posting blogs, either a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly post about the products and services offered or write about any topic that will shed light on your customers.

If you are fairly new at blogging, learn more about blog carnivals. It is a blog promotional event where one blogger hosts the event and several other bloggers participate. A topic is then announced for other bloggers to write about and publish on their own blogs. The host then gathers the links to these blogs and writes a summary of all the contents submitted.

It is then up to the host when, where, and how this will be disseminated. The important thing is readers will have an easy access to the different blog links. If you participate in such event, you will have access to different types of audience.

Broken Links

This is about finding the right page and the opportunity you can gain from it. Searching for dead links, basically suspended or inactive pages, that’s still ranking high in the search pages is a good lead. Find out what pages are linked to the dead site, initiate contact to the websites where the links are coming from. You’ll be surprised at the positive response you might receive. Nobody wants to connect to a site that is dead for this could affect their own search rankings.

Let them know that you have valuable blogs with a similar content or topic. Chances are, they may start linking to your webpages, and add more links on your website. In a way, it is asking for links, but these websites still have the option whether to link to your site or not. More of this topic here.

Build Relationships

Building relationships work anywhere. In school, in the workplace, in the local community, or online. Start making connections, know the right people, the right group or community. By knowing these groups, you can grow your connection, and these connections will largely help in your link building efforts.

Join forums, online communities, social media groups, or any online congregation that is relevant to what you are trying to promote. Aim to establish long-term relationships with the right people. Earning connections is easier when people in your circle willingly link to your website.

2 Common Link Building Tactics For Beginners in Greenville SEO

2 Common Link Building Tactics For Beginners in Greenville SEO

Link building will never grow old when it comes to improving the Page Authority (PA) of a webpage. “Authority points” are earned when an external webpage connects to one of the webpages in your site or directly to your home page.

In search engine optimization (SEO), establishing a huge web of external pages linking to your webpages could only mean one thing, your efforts in building associations has come to fruition. But for beginners who are just about to start working their way in, much like the local businesses that are now being assisted by our SEO Greenville marketing agency, selecting which tactics to use and implement might come as a challenge.

Just as there are traditional and upgraded methods in marketing, link-building strategies come in three sets – for beginners, the advanced tactics, and the sidelines.

The Tactics Fit For Beginners | SEO Greenville

Some SEO companies think link building doesn’t work as well it used to in the past. But in truth, external web connection isn’t dead as it will continue to be one of the factors in Google’s core algorithms.

From Christoph C. Cemper’s 20 SEO Link Building Tips for 2017, he listed several reasons why earning association can dictate a website’s ranking in Google search. Here’s an excerpt from the blog:

“Can a website rank without links? We say that a website cannot rank without connection. Why do we think that?

  • Because it’s Google’s #1 ranking factor
  • Because it’s the WEB
  • Because its point to great content (that deserves to rank well)
  • Because they transfer power
  • Because they transfer trust
  • Because it’s through association that Google discovers your website…

“But don’t take it from us when we say that links are important, take it directly from Google. In March 2016, in a Q&A with Google, Andrey Lipattsev, a Search Quality Senior Strategist at Google, said the first two ranking factors were links and content:

“I can tell you what they are. It is content. And it’s links pointing to your site. (Andrey Lipattsev, Search Quality Senior Strategist at Google)”

Start With The Basics

We can’t transition to advanced tactics if the basics haven’t been set yet, for this will serve as the foundation for your next link-building move. Here’s an article that might help as well.

It Always Start With The Content

How can people trust your website if it doesn’t have valuable content? Yes, the quality of writing you put in your webpages is more than important. Informative, reliable, and well-researched posts can become a resource to the people who can actually help you earn association – the bloggers, researchers, and writers.

Infographics Are Attractive

Infographics are for those who don’t have the time (or attention span) to read lengthy blogs. They are more colorful, more succinct, and more attractive than a big block of text. From the same post by Cemper, he adds:

“However good your writing, some people find it easier to grasp information visually. Different people grasp information differently, and your business message has to be available in every form so that it can capture the attention of a wider audience.

“Many people use Infographics to attract links. And it works. Sometimes someone might use your infographic, but without linking to you. In such case, you could start a “Google reverse image search.”

Have A Fresh Start

Link-building isn’t limited to just these two tactics, in fact there are countless strategies that can be used to earn links. Our Round Rock team has put to good use the list of tactics we have compiled over the years.

There’s more to learn about getting those important connection from external webpages. Work with our Greenville marketing team so we can walk you through the advance and upgraded tactics of link building.

Your SEO Guide To A Multi-Location Business

Your SEO Guide To A Multi-Location Business | SEO Round Rock

For businesses operating in multiple physical locations, digitally marketing the brand and services is difficult. Though you want to promote a single brand, the aim is still to rank high in the search engine results pages (SERP) for each and every location.

Typical online marketing strategies don’t work well in this situation simply because the SEO efforts would require exceedingly large amounts of marketing assets to be produced for each individual location.

When optimizing for SEO, content management and organizational management are separate divisions that are both vital in the overall local SEO strategy for each location. This is where SEO management becomes more complex, but our SEO Round Rock online marketing work can attest to how both divisions can be properly managed with the right tools.

Management Contrast: Organization vs. Content

Organizational Management

Website strategy and SEO Round RockWho will plan and create the content needed for your website? How will you promote your brand or product locally? Do you have different services and promotions going on in each store? Are the stores operated by one group of people or are they managed separately and independently?

Local optimization is dependent on the demand in each location, therefore the marketing strategy for one store my not be adequate for the other. What do you do then?

The key is to analyze your keywords and competitors, and know what your customers and target markets are searching for. Take what is currently successful for your competitors, and optimize on-page for those elements. Then focus your off-page strategies on driving traffic to your site(s) for those elements.

Content Management

This is basically the written information about your business, the most important details are the business name, physical address and permanent phone number (NAP – name, address, phone). It’s imperative that this information is exactly the same across all digital media platforms, if not, Google won’t be able to match up all your online properties to your locations… and this will have a significant impact on your rankings.

Managing content for your separate locations also means differentiating between them in your blogs and social media as well. Separate blogs for each location, separate YouTube channels, separate Facebook pages… everything. Each location needs to be able to point content directly back to their store’s website, even if it’s a subdomain of your main site. Careful planning needs to be taken to ensure all off-page linking is done, and done to the correct location.

Planning Your SEO Campaigns

Planning involves content and organizational management. It also involves a lot of budgeting on your part. Determining how much you are willing to spend on local optimization will affect how to market your brand or product.

For all businesses, adding multiple pages on the website, adding a Locations or Cities Served tab, assigning one dedicated sub-page for each city effectively helps in building authority links. If your business has stores across a large region or even country-wide, then you’ll need to create subdirectory websites for each location. The more traffic driven toward your locations’ web pages, the more authority your entire website gets, as well as each store. You can charge this up by creating blog posts that focus their links on one location at a time, rather than all or some locations simultaneously.

We are after those links. And with the domain power of social media and web 2.0 sites, the more inbound links to create to your webpages, the more authority and relevance each location will receive.

Much like our optimization campaign in SEO Knoxville, focusing targeted content to one city location… both on-page and off… will increase your SERP rankings and local authority significantly.

Wherever you are in Round Rock, with our SEO  campaigns we’ll find the best approach for each business location.
