5 Ways To Link Build For Free

Link building is a key part of search engine optimisation, but is time consuming and can be very pricey. When it comes to trying to link build for free, some methods can be a bit uncertain, especially in the case of small companies where a lot of time can be wasted, which is not a sensible option.

With this in mind, here are five ways to get links for free which are thought to been successful methods:-

1) Google Alerts

The majority of people already have Google alerts set up to monitor their site and brand name. It therefore makes sense to use this to your advantage. Whenever you see someone write anything about your site, try to reach out to them and ask them if they would consider turning a word or two into a link.

This request usually gets a positive response, especially in the cases when it is a blogger who randomly wrote about you, because in these situations they already like your product in the first place.

2) Guest Posts

Another easy method is to contact bloggers and offer to write some free content for them. This will save them a lot of time, and you can add in a link without them minding. Finding bloggers who are happy to do this is not far removed from the traditional style of link building.

3) Discounts And Promotional Codes

This is an easy method of trading for links. Offer relevant markets something they could use. This method works particularly well with bloggers who are already discussing topics that are relevant to your market.

4) Spotting Site Errors

This is another good method, while performing another type of link building. You cannot really use it just on its own, but it makes bloggers more open to the idea of what you are asking them. If you are actively looking for a guest post and notice a mistake on the site, mention it to them in a correct and polite manner. You cannot just actively seek errors on blogs, which is why it is best to do this while performing another form of link building.

5) Social Profiles And Blog Profiles

This is an easy one and helps particularly with local rankings. Visit all the main social media sites that will let you make a profile and do so, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.
