GRATIS BACKLINKS – INLEIDING
Bezoekers naar je blog halen is enorm belangrijk. Als niemand je artikels leest, wat is dan het punt?
Er zijn veel manieren om verkeer naar je blog te trekken.
Je kan advertenties kopen, op sociale media reclame maken, via andere kanalen of blogs mensen doorsturen,. ..
Maar waar je wellicht het meeste baat van zal hebben is je artikels SEO-proof maken.
Dat wil zeggen dat je ze schrijft met het oog op zo hoog mogelijk in de resultaten van zoekmachines te komen.
Natuurlijk verkeer halen, met andere woorden.
SEO is een enorm uitgebreid onderwerp dat ver buiten de schaal van dit artikel gaat. Ik hou het hier zo eenvoudig en beperkt mogelijk, maar als je er meer over wil weten kan je SEO-technieken even bekijken.
Een paar manieren om ervoor te zorgen dat je blogposts aantrekkelijk worden voor Google om aan mensen te tonen:
- Schrijf goede artikels. Klinkt logisch, want hoe meer mensen naar jouw site komen en je artikels effectief lezen (in plaats van meteen terug te gaan naar de zoekmachine), hoe hoger Google je site zal beoordelen. Google wil immers aan zijn (haar?) gebruikers de beste resultaten tonen.
- Richt je op een bepaald populair zoekwoord. Schrijf je artikels rond een bepaald thema, een kernwoord dat veel mensen opzoeken. Voor dit artikel is het bijvoorbeeld “gratis backlinks”. Dit heb ik reeds uitvoerig besproken in Zoekwoordonderzoek voor Beginners.
- Optimaliseer je site zoveel mogelijk. Een efficiënt thema, kleine afbeeldingen, caching,… Alles om de laadtijd van je site zo kort mogelijk te maken.
- Backlinks naar je site halen. Kort gezegd komt dit neer op links naar jouw website (voorpagina of specifieke artikels) van andere sites.
INTRODUCTION
Making sure that visitors visit your blog is vital. If nobody reads your blog posts, What’s the purpose?
There are numerous ways to get visitors to your website.
You can purchase ads or promote them on social media platforms and forward information to other channels or blogs. +
However, the thing that will likely help you most is to make your content SEO-friendly.
You compose them intending to be as prominent as possible results.
Natural traffic, or in other words.
SEO is an extensive topic that extends far beyond the subject of this post, and I’ll make it as straightforward and as brief as I can here. However, if you’d like to know more about the subject, then explore SEO methods.
There are a few methods to ensure your blog posts are appealing to Google to show people:
- Write well-written content. It makes sense since the more people visit your site and go through your content (rather than just going on to Google’s search results), the higher Google will evaluate your zone. It is a fact that Google will try to show the (her?) users the most effective results.
- Make sure you target a specific well-known search term. Create your content around a particular theme which is a term that many people search for. For instance, in this post, it’s “free links.” I’ve previously discussed this in detail In Keyword Research For beginners.
- Optimize your website to the maximum extent possible. A well-designed theme, smaller images cache,… Everything you need to ensure that the loading time of your site as fast as is possible.
- Find backlinks to your website. This boils down to the link to your website (front page or article) from other websites.
What are BACKLINKS?
A backlink is a hyperlink that points to a website. For instance, when I speak on Wikipedia, You can see a link to the Wikipedia website, and it’s a backlink.
The more backlinks you have pointing towards your website and the more backlinks you have, the higher your website is likely to (usually) be assessed by Google.
The amount of links is vital. However, it is not as important as the high quality (the credibility of the websites that link directly to your site).
In the end, not all websites are alike; according to God, Google.
Forbes.com, for instance, is more authoritative than janpietersblog.nl.
If janpietersblog.nl is an internal link to your website, it won’t be as effective as when Forbes refers to your site.
Buying backlinks is another alternative. However, this is considered SEO to be black-hat and will be disapproved of in the eyes of Google.
It is possible to gain several (and excellent) hyperlinks quickly; however, it can cost you money, and if you’re found out, you’ll lose your position and the income that comes with it.
TOP 8 METHODS TO GET FREE BACKLINKS
Unfortunately, getting high-quality free backlinks can be easy, especially when you’re only starting.
Free backlinks tend to be low quality. Therefore you’ll need lots of them for a significant impact.
Below, I will provide you with a few methods to obtain free backlinks for your blog.
There are more choices than what I have listed here, for example, Linkpartners However; I’d strongly advise against them, so I will not mention them.
The first five strategies provide links you can effectively get pretty quickly, between a couple of hours and several days. A majority of them are installed even now.
This article will provide you with two ways to obtain higher-quality backlinks using more significant effort and more time.
There is also the final option, through the ability to passively bring the links.
It will undoubtedly be the most comprehensive process. However, it’s the most simple and most valuable.
When it comes to getting free backlinks, I think there are eight good options:
- Social media
- Forums
- directories
- Own other websites
- Create a profile on major sites
- Broken link building
- Guest blogs
- Write super exciting and unique articles
-
SOCIAL MEDIA
Without a doubt, it is a good idea to establish various social media on your blog or website and use it to gain backlinks for free.
For instance, on Facebook, it is easy to place a link on your website.
However, these links are counted as part of Google to a lesser extent. It’s a great option to sign up to all social media channels feasible!
For instance:
- YouTube
2. FORUMS
You will surely locate forums that focus on your particular area of interest.
Join in some discussions, and if you’re able to talk about a subject that you’ve written an article on, it’s pretty easy (and suitable) to share the article.
Alongside specific niche forums, you can also go to sites such as Quora or Reddit. I particularly find Quora fascinating to use.
It is possible to follow specific particular niches, and users ask questions. If you can answer the question and you have an article that is relevant that addresses it, you can mention it.
3. Directories (HOME PAGES)
A directory website is mainly composed of links.
It’s an address book, a compilation of various links often organized by topic.
I’d like to point out that directories offering free backlinks are viewed negatively by Google, mainly when you use them on a mass scale. Therefore, I suggest that you only utilize a small number of them in the initial months of your site’s operation, and in the future, you could add more every couple of months.
Many websites allow you to post a backlink for free to your website; however, certain websites charge an additional fee.
It’s usually inexpensive, maybe a couple of euros and a few euros, but I’d rather not worry about that. Directories are worth it only if they are cost-free.
Many directories that provide free backlinks require a return/backlink. They will only offer you an unpaid link in exchange for linking to their website first.
Do not do that! It’s usually not a good idea to make links to these directories.
You can locate directories with dozens of guides online, but upon closer inspection, many of them are ineffective and charge a fee or have no existence.
Two websites remain in the present that could provide you with the backlink for free:
-
- https://www.alsstartpagina.nl/
- https://www.sitedirectory.nl/
4. OWN WEBSITES
Creating a website is easy and cost-effectively by following the steps, I have shown in How to create a blog using WordPress? +
If you have several sites ( affiliate sites or blogs), you may make them connect – if they’re the same subject.
It’s not recommended to connect unrelated websites, like, for instance, an affiliate website about dating, to the butcher’s business website (unless you’re making an amusing joke about an inspection of meat or something similar to that).
At first, the worth of this partnership will be minimal. However, as both websites improve in Google’s favor, they’ll also enhance one another.
Altogether up to the summit!
5. GUEST BLOGS
Writing articles for guest blogs is the best way to get quality free backlinks, but it takes time and effort.
Many blogs and websites are open to contributions from others and allow you to put a backlink to your website (often for a fee).
The trick here is to start looking not in your niche but in a related niche where your site’s niche slightly overlaps their niche.
Taking Passive Income as an example, it’s a bad idea for me to look up blogs about making money online, bringing in passive income, and the like.
After all, I am a competitor of these, and they will not grant me a link.
I can go to real estate agencies that have started a blog and offer an article about real estate in Asia.
After all, that is a subject I know a lot about, but real estate agencies in Belgium and the Netherlands may not.
Our niches overlap slightly, but we don’t compete.
This may be the best way to get quality free backlinks actively, but it takes a lot of time and effort.
You should not only find suitable sites, but also contact them, and then – if successful – write an article.
6. OWN EXPERIENCES WITH THIS
In a past life, I did this on a large scale.
Thousands of websites are massively analyzed using SEO tools, email marketing to suitable sites, and then have the articles written by someone on Fiverr.
This gives me an idea of the success rate, and that’s not very promising.
Even with all those tools finding suitable matches, I had a 2 to 3% success rate.
So for every 100 sites I analyzed, about ten replied to my email, and 2 to 3 were interested in a guest post. And usually for a fee.
I’m guessing you have a 1% success rate getting free backlinks this way.
But look, if you want free quality backlinks, guest blogs might be the best option.
7. WRITING SUPER INTERESTING AND UNIQUE ARTICLES
The NEC plus ultra of SEO and link building is spontaneously receiving natural links from others without having to do anything for it.
Give other websites a reason to backlink you. Write good articles that cannot be found anywhere else.
If you write “Top 10 altcoins in 2020”, there is little reason for other websites to link to you. After all, there are plenty of other sites that deal with this topic.
But if, on the other hand, you write “Top 10 altcoins in 2020 for teens who want to invest in cryptocurrency” (I’m just saying), there is almost no competition.
If another site writes something about the rise of crypto use among young people, they will be able to link to your article because there is almost no other relevant content about this.
It’s the same as choosing a niche for your blog: if you go too broad, you have a lot of competition.
If you go narrow and deep, you attract a specific audience for which there are (almost) no other sites.
Keep the same principle in mind when composing your articles, and people are more likely to link to you spontaneously.
Making lists or making your charts is always a good idea to be “linkable.”
FREE BACKLINKS – SUMMARY
Backlinks are links on other sites that point to your site.
You need it to show Google that you have a quality site and that others think so. This way, you will rank higher in their ranking and get more traffic.
The first five options are high-speed and straightforward and provide few qualitative backlinks.
Broken link building and guest blogging can give you more quality backlinks, but it takes a lot of time and effort to get those links.
En masse is the best option for writing super exciting and unique articles that other websites link to spontaneously.
After all, you don’t have to do anything yourself to receive free backlinks.
If you also want to start a blog yourself, I can recommend you to buy a website at Bluehost! Also, read Blogging for Beginners for all relevant information!
