5 Tips To Run A Sustainable Link-Building Campaign

Manually Expanding Online Momentum
“Virality” or “going viral” is a modern term which pertains specifically to something suddenly and swiftly becoming a staple of global popular culture through the internet. Now ideally, that which goes viral should do so organically. Realistically, as the internet has become a core component of modernity, little which goes viral does so incidentally.

The good news is, there are ways you can expand online visibility organically regardless of how those who control the internet from Silicon Valley want things to go. For a blogger, a small business, a political site, or any group running a blog, a great way to do that is through what’s known as link-building. Here, we’ll go over a few tips to help you do so successfully.

1. Be Sure You Post Regular, Optimized Content
One of the biggest things that will naturally produce link-building is regularly posting content. The more content you post, the bigger your digital “footprint”, as it were, online. Think of it like throwing rocks in a pond. Toss in one, and wait an hour; the ripples will disappear. Toss in one and wait a minute before tossing in another, and you can maintain the level of ripples.

Toss pebbles in the pond continuously, and you can gradually throttle up how choppy the waters are. There is certainly a limit to this analogy; but you get the idea. With the web, you can continuously ratchet up that momentum to a level whose end no one really knows. To start, post about four times a week, and do so in a way that’s demographically aligned.

When those who you’re trying to reach truly resonate with what you’re producing, they’re going to share your content all on their own. But for this to be the case, you’re going to need to keep pumping out content. You’ve got to actually make waves if you want any surfers.

2. Allow Other Blogs To Be Your Guests
You can actually allow other similarly-aligned blogs to publish posts on your own. If you’re a small business providing resources aligned with products or services you produce, then you may have other groups specifically request to post on your blog. When they can post to your site, customers group you and them together. It increases the authority of both of you as domains.

3. Be Sure You Also Produce Guest Posts
On the other side of that coin, when sites want to post on your website or blog, you can turn right around and do the same for them. To that end, you may want to spend a day or a week with your marketing team and look for guest-posting sites. This not only compounds the visibility of your blog, it’s a prime opportunity for extensive domain-building back linking.

4. Consultation, Research, And Jumping The Trends
There’s an old saying that’s really worth thinking about. It goes something like: your plans won’t succeed if you don’t have good counsel. Consultation is counsel. You might look into SEO agencies who specifically provide solutions for businesses seeking effective outcomes in link-building. Beyond consultation and agencies of this type, you might as well research.

There are no end of totally free blogs out there who use precisely the sort of link-building practices you need to master to get their information out there. Endless forums exist. You might peruse through them to see what works, what doesn’t, and what your best moves are. New trends that can be quickly capitalized on are always on the horizon.

5. Position Yourself As A Legitimate, Sharable Resource
When you’re a legitimate resource, people share your materials owing to the information you provide. Whether you’re churning out videos, infographics, blog articles, white papers, or some other sort of information, being a resource will definitely provide more organic opportunities for link-building.

So figure out pain-points of your audience and answer them. Tell them how to make money or save money. Give them cutting-edge information regarding trends or technology. Find out how to be a resource, and consistently prove your value in this area.

Strong Link-Building Will Produce More Traffic
Being a resource, consultation, research, guest posting, allowing other sites to post their own materials as guests on your blog or website, and regularly producing SEO-optimized content all represent key ways of developing a successful link-building campaign. If you’re not specifically devoting efforts toward such outcomes, figuring out how will likely expand traffic.
