    Infographics are a terrific way to gain natural backlinks. The first step is researching and finding a topic that people have strong opinions about, maybe even something controversial.

    Once you do the research, you must compile the intriguing facts that people are interested in hearing back. Once you have all of that, you need to find a designer to create the graphically pleasing infographic for you (there are a lot of websites out there that offer this service).

    After it's designed, you need to write an article on your site and include the infographic within it. There are tons of social bookmarking sites specifically for infographics that you can submit it to to begin the traction.

    In addition to that, you can promote it via social media, in press releases, and in offering guest posts for websites relevant to your niche.

    Combining all of these together will provide you with a ton of social signals and natural backlinks. It's pretty much the most efficient and effective way to build links and social signals these days.

    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

        Infographics are the latest entries into:
        "what sucks about webpages in 2014."

        I thought these things would not even make it to 2014.
        Who knew?

        Tons of social bookmarking sites? That would be tons of
        useless links using tons of wasted time.

        I'm waiting for the:

    Infographic sharing isn't the problem, the problem is most people will spam it out on crap sites with canned anchor-text. It's no different than building regular HTML backlinks, there's junk links & there's quality links.

      Most high quality infographic directories will not accept rubbish content and certainly will not allow any blatant low content.

      If we are spending alot of money creating these, we would not waste our time screwing it up.

        I seriously doubt there's any quality directory (for anything) that would hand out free links.

        Work with quality same niche sites instead of random sites like directories where anyone can drop a link.

          Yes, contacted 12 niche sites and 10 will post infographics with link to us!

          As for the info directories there are 17 between PR2 and PR5, links like that I would not dismiss. I will try it and report back if it is a value for SEO.

    There are not much benefit of using or distributing infographics as most people just upload the file to their own server without using the credits or link to original image and then distribute to social sharing sites to boost traffic.

    Infographics are one of the best way in getting quality backlinks and these link will make your link building campaigns more diversified. You'll get the links mostly from content which is unique and 100% copyscape passed.

    You should approach infographic marketing the same as guest posting. Create the content (image) and contact 3rd party bloggers if they would like an "exclusive", not published anywhere else infographic. A good strategy Brian Dean brought up was to include a short text blurb writeup to go alongside your infographic with the anchor text back to your website.

      I don't think that's a good idea unless the text/article was unique for each site, otherwise it's one huge repetitive footprint with each of the sites involved competing for the same text/keywords. I wouldn't want a bunch of backlinks from pages across multiple domains with the exact same plain text.

        Yukon, read his comments he says EXCLUSIVE! That equals unique, unless you did not understand.

        Without being unique, it would be like the tonnes of other crap on the internet.

        Thanks for assuming

        Since it's exclusive, the blurb would have to be as well in order to properly speak to the infographic
