Top 5 Link Building Resolutions For 2017
No matter what some people say, link building is still not dead and even in 2017, it’s one of the best method to boost your rankings! And if you haven’t done this until now, you should at least consider it and the results should start coming. Considering this, we made a short list with some of the most important link building resolutions, perfect for starters and not only!
1. Check your links
This one is going to be an evergreen, as long as link building still works. You can either use Google’s Search Console or rely on a paid tool, but it’s important to see which of your backlinks are good and which can affect your website in a negative way. And once you found those nasty, spammy links, make sure you get rid of them.
2. Replicate your good links
Speaking about good and bad backlinks, we’re convinced that most of you have at least some good (or very good) ones pointing to your site. After analyzing everything, try to figure out how you got them and find a method of getting more like them!
3. Take a loot at your competitors
Hey, everybody is doing it! We’re not saying to copy them, but you never known when you can ‘steal’ some inspiration and find some good link building opportunities after analyzing some of your competitors’ structure. Think a bit about this aspect!
4. Do some proper research before creating content
Content is king, but this doesn’t mean that you should deliver article after article, just to have fresh content on your site. Remember, it’s quality over quantity, so it’s way better to post a longer, well-researched article per week, instead of five or even more articles, written just to…well, to have some new content.
5. Build relationships
Don’t make getting links the sole purpose of your interactions with webmasters of influencers. Try building relationships with them, because you never know when you’ll need something a new link from them. And hey, if you act friendly enough, you might end up with getting one for free!
