Where to get Dental Backlinks

Why on earth would you try to get a dentist to link to another dentist?

You get links from related niches... If in the same niche, you get a blogger who blogs about dentistry, not a dentist. Or connect a dentist in New York to one in Toronto.

You always take into account competitor or not?

And, they don't give it to you, you earn it... through money, through content, through a link (which, these days means, you have 2 websites, one to get a link to, one to give back a link).

That said, it's still hard work, you still contact more than 1 or 2.

That said, you might want to consider creating your own sites.

I have a bunch of sites. Some I care more about than others. So, I check all kinds of things about them all the time. Every now and again, I'm pleasantly surprised by a link I did not create. Someone in a related industry found one of my pages and linked to it.

Does it happen often? Noooo. But it does happen.

Every now and again, I get contacted by people like me... Well, sort of (I present better quality). People who ask me if they can guest-post.

I always say, give me a quality article and I post it. The last 3 were spun, and badly spun... one of them had sin-versa (in case you haven't had your coffee yet, that's what spinning software does to vice-versa). One, though, was from an SEO agency that seemed to get it.

I told them, yes, as long is quality (no basic stuff, no generalities).

What they sent was not quite good enough (too many generalities, some basic stuff). But they seemed to have read / skimmed everything on the site they were interested in. I say that because they provided me an article that covered something I had not covered at all.

So, a bit too basic, a bit too many generalities but on a topic entirely lacking on my site? I said, heck, why not? I do need something like that.

A year later, they're still getting their link.

Another one. People post comments... I read every comment before I approve. I've approved about 12 in the last several hundred... No, I don't read all... I delete most without even looking at them. But, every now and again, I noticed a few that seem to merit reading.

Anyway, I got a spun comment from a real estate agent. I contacted them directly and told them their SEO person had spammed my site. If they wanted a link, I was willing to give them one, just not through a spun stupid comment... Never got an answer.

So. It's hard. It can be done. It's requires work and thinking.

I was talking about retailing, not SEO. Many retailers are forced to buy from wholesalers to get established before they can work with distributors and suppliers. I always felt this was a ridiculous aspect of retailing.

It's the same type of chicken and the egg problem. Let me be little bit more clear about what I'm saying here. Good luck building dental backlinks, you need something worth linking to, without having something, it isn't going to work very well. If there are channels that can be utilized, I suggest using them, since building new channels is going to require a really long list of targets. As a few people pointed out, that doesn't sound like it's going to work very well.

With a long list of targets, you have a lot of sites you can investigate for backlink opportunities. The targets themselves might be useless, but you might uncover targets that are not.

I realize now that I should not have posted since the best way to get dental backlinks would be to buy them and I don't actually have any idea other then donating money to sites that will link back to you.

Rent a storefront, take pictures of your empty shop, start talking to distributors, tell me how that works out for you. Depending on the industry, you might get denied a lot, many of them have credit terms and without proof of establishment and proof of income/sales they won't work with you.

Edit: Also, who sidetracked this? Did I do it? Most of the people in the thread are not actually discussing what the OP asked. He never said he's doing SEO for a dentist. It could be a site about DIY home dentistry for all we know.
