Planning a Future Proof Link Building Strategy

Stick to Your Industry

Links that are relevant to your industry are like gold for
your site. The more industry associated backlinks you are able to gain for your
site, the better it is. Best way is to make a list of all the top sites related
to your industry (not exactly your competitors, they are tons of other sites as
well) and apply creativity as to how can you approach them to get a backlink.
Sometimes they must be having a resource page in their website and a simple request
mail specyfying them about your company can get you a backlink.

Think out of the Box

Think creative and find new and natural ways of getting a
backlink. Some good ideas are sponsoring any event, creating some widgets,
creating infographics etc.

Promote Your Brand Offline

Don’t just think of promoting your brand online, think of it
promoting it offline too. Distributing pamphlates, buisness cards, billboards,
newspaper advertisements can all help to increase the visibility of your brand.
Increased visibility means there is a chance of getting a natural backlink.

Get Media Coverage

Proper media coverage is essential to make the brand look
trustworthy and relevant in the eyes of Google. Remember, Google tries to
deliver the best possible results to its users and it determines importance
based on the brand value and coverage it receives. Hence, having media power
work for your business is strongly recommended.

Increase the Number of Google Plus Authors Sharing Your
Brand

Google Plus has become a part of Seo and it cannot be
ignored. Having high author rank authors talk about your brand is a great way
to earn reputation and authority for your site.

Offer Something for FREE

A proven way to receive FREE publicity for your brand is
offering something for FREE. People love the things or services offered to them
at no cost and if your business can leverage on this, it can fetch some real
quick links to your site.

Take the Help of Social Media Websites

Social Media promotion must go parallel with the searchengine optimization work. In this socially active world, it’s foolish to lag
behind simply because your brand has no effective social presence. Seo in 2013
requires citations as well as backlinks in order to make your site popular.
Hence, effective social presence on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn,
Google Plus etc. is necessary to increase the social value of your brand.

Use Every Existing Resource

Every existing resource of link building should be utilized
effectively. It’s better not to rely on a single strategy but instead use each
and every resource.

Get Industry Recognitions

If you are doing seo for a website that has various industry
recognitions associated with it then you need to get all those industry
recognitions. These are invaluable and trusted backlinks.

Use Link Bait

Plan a link bait for your website and implement it accordingly. This is by far the best way to gain backlinks to your website.



Increase Sharability of Your Site

Make sure your website has social sharing buttons available
from each and every webpage. This would help to increase the number of social
shares and being visible on social media can fetch you some indirect backlinks.
It’s never to miss a strategy.

Create Engaging Content on a Regular Basis

Content is God of Web. Every engagement on the World Wide
Web revolves around good content. So, make sure your website has quality,
original and reliable content which answers the user’s query. It is also
important to create engaging content on a regular basis. You can do so by
adding a blog in your website and posting some informative content in it
regularly. This would increase the number of pages in your website and indirectly
increase the chances of getting  a link.

constantly writing about latest news that happens around your industry .
