Why consider going off-site for links
Offering linkbait on your own website’s pages is a great idea. If you have the right sort of traffic, you’re essentially letting your site do its own tailored link building. But what if you’re not yet getting the traffic for this kind of link building strategy?
On-site link building strategies rely on a certain level of traffic flow. When you’re just starting out, though, it can be a good idea to look at your off-site options as well, and you can discuss this with us at Linkbuilding.co.uk.
Why look at off-site options?
Most companies don’t look into SEO until they’re struggling for search engine traffic. If you’re consulting a link building service like the one we offer at Linkbuilding.co.uk, the chances are you don’t have people rushing to offer you links. An easy way to attract links when you have low traffic levels is to fish for them on more popular sites. Hence, off-site linkbaiting.
This technique isn’t always successful, but it’s a good option for companies looking for budget-friendly, organic link building. Unlike other methods, such as investing in paid directory listings, the links gained from off-site link bait are natural. This is attractive to the search engines. Another reason to pursue such links is the lack of contract, meaning that you don’t have to worry about renewing your links after six months or a year.
Off-site linkbaiting is a bit of a gamble, but it’s one that can really pay off. If you don’t have the traffic to attract links naturally from your own pages, look off-site.
Competitor link building can often be avoided by website owners as they simply don’t understand how to make it work for them. However through using a structured approach competitor link building can not only help you develop high quality links but will also build your business intelligence helping you to grow. Once you have a sound understanding of who your competitors are, then the next stage is to analyse exactly what type of link your website needs.
Using competitor link analysis data drop into a graph the types of links seen on competitor sites compared to the types of links seen on your own. Often this type of analysis will reveal that there is a need to widen the focus and look for other sources of links. Looking at the competition will provide ideas and give your one way link building strategy direction.
This data can also be used to create a baseline for measuring your link building efforts and those of the competition. Take your top three competitors alongside your own data and update periodically. This will provide a great overview of what is happening with your backlinks ongoing. Once this type of data is added to excel you can create visual graphs making tracking easy.
In addition to looking at backlinks it’s important to keep a check on homepage Page Authority and Domain Authority. This ensures that link building isn’t happening at the expense of other important authority metrics.
