SEO Advice: What To Do When Your Blog Is Not Getting Links
- ARTICLES |
Imagine this. You have just finished a killer post that should bring thousands of new readers to your blog - you have picked an interesting angle to a topic your readers are eagerly anticipating to know about and you have written it with authority.
You email it to all the top bloggers in your area of expertise; point them to the post and sit back to wait for the links to come in. But, everything seems to be on a standstill.
No links come; no replies from even one of those bloggers you emailed.
Your stats say that none of them clicked the link you sent to them.
This couldn't be the end of your blogging career. Here are tips on what to do when your blog is not getting links.
The oldest blogging myth says that "Content is king". But, with so many outstanding contents in the web, bloggers won't be able to read all of them much less link to it, so, be connected!
The secret to making a popular blog is not having remarkable content but the number of well-connected friends you have. Even if your writing is not exceptional, they'll link to you because they like you.
You also need to make friends with popular bloggers to get them to link to your post. Here's how:
Reciprocity is generosity begetting generosity. Meaning, if you pacify and ease A-list bloggers, they'll be grateful and remember you for it.
Find ways where you can genuinely be of help to them. Appropriately, make that an opportunity to start building a relationship.
After a few months, start giving them a hint to your best and most relevant content. They will most likely link to you every time you do anything interesting and bring you lots of readers.
Your network will expand as they will introduce you to other popular bloggers and give you an opportunity to do more favors.
Putting as much effort into building relationships and writing great content, will make you have a popular blog in no time. More than that, you'll have gained friendships with some interesting people on the web.
