Is your Guest Posting Service Making any of The Link Building Mistakes?
1. Preferring Quantity Over Quality
Focusing on the quality, not the quantity of the links. Good quality content is the core of good link building.
Just like a person is known by the company he or she keeps, similarly search engines judge the quality of websites by looking at the quality of backlinks it acquires.
When it comes to building out your backlink profile — it’s essential to understand the different types of backlinks you require to rank your content.
It’s easy to get caught up in numbers like; “we’ve built 10 inbound links to your site this month!”
But paying for 10 links a month that don’t move the needle gets silly pretty fast.
2. Manipulating The Source Links
Many website and blog owners get frustrated with how long good SEO takes, and consequently take to manipulating links to hurry things along. Common link manipulation practices are footer and sidebar links, though these have been easily spotted and punished for a long time now.
While building links, the main questions that come to our mind are, “How often should I build links?” Another question is, “If I build tons of backlinks straight away, does it hurt SEO?”.
The rate at which you build backlinks for your blog matters a lot in SEO.
When it comes to backlink velocity, understand two important things:
- Search engines reward organic popularity.
- Algorithms are smart bots that can detect and punish abnormal activity.
As such, when a website acquires thousands of links out of the blue, the activity spike may appear suspicious to android bots. In some cases, the platform may be marked for suspicious activity. In the worst cases, it may be de-indexed altogether.
A good reminder is, when creating and sharing ‘good content’ links will appear in a naturally shared manner.
3.Buying Links
Earning backlinks and buying backlinks are two totally different things. You may say, well I’m paying a guest posting service to build my backlinks, isn’t that the same thing? Not really. Yes you are paying for a service, but that service providers should be experienced in 3 things:
• providing well research content.
• guest post outreach.
• sharing to a community.
It is important to know how ethical organic link building differs from other types of link building. Ethical organic link building companies understand how to create content that valuable sources will want and ultimately link to your resource because it adds value. This approach keeps your site from being blacklisted or penalized by Google and it can be a good option for many businesses.
4.Linking Same Niches
Blogger outreach services are the best platform for getting connections to other bloggers. But do you know finding the other bloggers in the same niche as you are is the most effective way to earn quality backlinks?
It’s important to build a healthy relationship with bloggers in your industry as it could be the life net of your marketing strategy. You can engage with a blogger whenever you want, but make sure you have something to say when reaching out.
Just in case you’re not aware, bloggers receive tons of emails every day, so go ahead and give them a good impression.
5. Do Not Personalize Your Outreach
Proving that you’re not some spam bot by taking the time to reach out with a humanized approach toward initiating contact works extremely well.
This can happen through a number of ways, but the most common is e-mail. However, before you start sending out random gibberish about why they should include a link to your website on their online profile, take the time to get to know the individual or business you’re reaching out to. There are so many bloggers and start-ups out there not willing to put in the time or energy to work up a good first contact, and this can lead to some pretty fast rejection.
