The Top Strategies For Building Quality Links Infographic
Backlinks are a small, but extremely important aspect of any modern SEO business strategy. While buying links worked in the past, today’s rules prohibit such behaviors. Instead, we have to build our backlinks through a number of different strategies.
Today we’ll look at what defines a high-quality backlink, and examine some of the most effective ways to building quality links and a strong and varied profile for your website.
Three Signs of a High-Quality Backlink
Having tons of backlinks isn’t enough to elevate your rankings. Instead, you need links from the right sources. To help you find those, here are three signs you’re on the right track:
#1. It Comes From a Relevant and Trusted Source
I like to think of backlinks like recommendations. If they come from a great source, then you should be proud to show it. If a low-quality site links to you, that’s not something you want on your profile. Beyond simple quality, your backlinks should also come from trusted sources that are well-known either broadly or in their niche.
Wikipedia, BBC, Kissmetrics, Neil Patel, these are all high quality and trustworthy sites that many would kill to get a backlink from.
#2. It Sends Traffic
When you’re looking for a starting to blog resource, you’ll look for links to a website that can help you get your blog off the ground. A link like this would send consistent traffic as new bloggers come across it.
Similarly, you should see a consistent stream of relevant users from your high-quality backlinks.
#3. In-Content Links
When you follow your backlink to its source, you should see the link appear within a block of text. This means that the author purposefully placed it there because they felt it was important to the topic and to their readers.
This is where you want your backlinks to appear.
