all the way to the end if you want some copy and paste outreach templates you can use to get free
backlinks for your website and let's just jump straight in so my first link building strategy
is harrow harrow stands for helper report out and it's a service that connects journalists bloggers
and entrepreneurs with sources it works in a simple three-step process journalists
post requests for information on the website sources provide information and journalists use
content from sources like you in the articles in addition to being an excellent way to earn
backlinks for your site it's also very easy to do and i've got loads of video tutorials on how to
build horror backlinks on youtube that you should definitely check out linkedin strategy number two
is skyscraper content now i know what you're thinking skyscraper is just another buzzword
however if done right it can be one of the greatest sources of earning high quality backlinks
in fact we specifically use skyscraper content to help one of our clients get from zero to 145
000 monthly visitors generating thousands of sales each month in revenue for them
so what is skyscraper content is the process of creating a truly unique piece of content based on
an existing piece that's ranking well on google but unlike other pieces your content will be
better in some way either it's more in-depth entertaining or otherwise valuable to your
readers and there are four steps when it comes to building backlinks with skyscraper content
step number one is competitor analysis so you look at what content your competitors are producing
you identify what types of posts they're creating that gets a lot of shares and backlinks already
step number two is prospecting after doing your competitor analysis you basically build up a list
of websites that are linking to your competitors so that you can contact them to publish your
skyscraper content the next step is to create your skyscraper content you basically have to look
at competitors and figure out how you can beat them with your content and make a better article
so this can be achieved through an article that's better designed more comprehensive
more entertaining the bottom line is to create something that will genuinely outshine your
competitors content so they're much more likely to link to you and the fourth and final step is cold
email outreach so the final step to this technique is to reach out to webmasters that link into
competitors and pitch them your skyscraper piece in fact here's an example of an email template you
could use for your own cold email outreach now if you want more information on how to do that
exactly check out my guide on youtube and make sure you stick around to number seven in this
video where if you want more outreach templates this is going to be perfect for you number three
building backlinks from outdated resources this is a method i've been using recently to build
high quality backings from older posts so in a lot of industries people are still linking to outdated
content in their posts now what you can do is find these old sources these old reference pages
and resources pages and basically contact them and ask to get a link to your content inside
those resource pages now the first step in this method is to find websites in your industry that
potentially change their brand names moved to an erl stopped offering a service or product stopped
updating the old resource closed down or gone out of business and then once you've identified the
websites that fit this criteria then it's time to do some backlink analysis and all you need to do
is find all the backlinks that are pointing to these competitors who haven't really updated their
resources we've changed their urls and that sort of thing so you can do this by grabbing the url
of the outdated resource and plugging it into a backlink checker we personally use interest
it's an easy way to prospect your competitors and figure out okay who's linking to them and
how can i get backlinks from these pages too the last step in this method is to reach out to all
the webmasters that are linking to these outdated resources letting them know that they're linking
to an outdated resource and suggesting that they link to your site instead now you have to make
sure that it's relevant and a pro tip here is to always provide value when you're doing outreach
and try not to be like too salesy or pushy just be genuine and look to provide value while picturing
your content instead of focusing on getting a link strategy number four is to create highly linkable
infographics now there's nothing webmasters love more than to link to infographics especially when
they're well designed and contain some sort of catchy data or facts now not only are they
highly linkable but also very useful for driving traffic from social media as infographics are
very shareable so what you can do is create some sort of informative infographic that's based on
your niche or something related to it now you need to make sure that you include statistics
facts anything that would be good link bait and the next step is to reach out to people
and websites the link to infographics and pitch them your content to acquire new backlinks too
over time as your site starts to rank higher and higher in search engines you'll start to notice
new links pointing to infographics naturally strategy number five is to turn brand mentions
into quality backlinks now this is a strategy that i use in my own business and it's brought
me a lot of success in terms of acquiring high quality branded backlinks all you need to do for
this technique is to find sites or blogs that have mentioned your brand name or url but not linked to
them now this is incredibly easy for acquiring new backlinks because the author of the site
blog already likes you they like you enough to mention you so they'll probably be likely enough
to link to you too now you can simply reach out to them with a friendly email like this right
you can say hey john we were just browsing through your blog love your work i just wanted to reach
out to thank you for mentioning our brand in your article this is really appreciated and if you have
a minute could you link the mention of my brand to our website url that way your readers can easily
find the post on our blog that you mentioned thanks again have a great day all the best julian
goldie it's that simple now a pro tip here is to make sure that once you've got your branded link
placed be sure to ask them if they have any more content your brand would be useful in
this will potentially give you more exposure to their readership strategy number six is guest
blogging now guest blogging is the act of writing content for another blog while getting a backlink
to your own site within the article it's one of the oldest strategies in the book and even
though i don't rate it that highly it still works very effectively it can be a bit time consuming
and that's why personally i don't use it that often and i won't go into too many details here
but basically when you guest blogging you can create content for other sites
reach out to them and get your content and links published on their sites too now guest blogging is
effective if you're writing about something that your target blog audience would be interested in
now a few tips here are that you have to make sure you format that article with your target keywords
at least once using these target keywords as an anchor text back to your own site also just be
careful about posting on relevant sites too you don't want guest blogs from everyone you want
to focus on the niche specific industry specific sites that you could potentially get back up from
strategy number seven is podcast link building now podcasts are great because they're highly linkable
social media friendly and you can share the podcast episode directly on sites like twitter or
all of your social media and it's insanely easy to distribute but starting a podcast can be hard due
to the time and effort it takes plus you need the right technology to run a successful podcast and
you'll need the equipment the software to record edit etc luckily for you there's another easy
way to get podcast style backlinks and this is by appearing as a guest on other podcasts aka guest
podcasting it's really simple right now how do you find podcasts to be a guest on let me give you a
little hint right it's all about the prospecting find industry podcasts that your target audience
listens to and search for their contact page now some common places to find podcasts are itunes
google play music heart radio etc and once you've found them it's time to start reaching out now
here's an example of a guest podcasting outreach email now aside from getting a link from the
podcast there's an added benefit of appearing on the podcast as a guest and it's basically social
proof okay people will see that you're a guest on their favorite podcast and probably think wow
this company is legit which means they'll be more likely to become your customers or at least visit
your website final link building technique is the merger technique now this method requires a little
bit of cash to get started but it's one of the easiest ways to acquire websites with high quality
backing profiles and to quickly redirect those sites to yours and the merger technique is pretty
damn simple so all you need to do is purchase a website with a solid link profile preferably one
that's already in the same niche as you and then all you need to do is 301 redirect that to your
site now in terms of some examples of businesses that have already used the merger technique to
skyrocket their seo you can see that with neil patel acquiring ubersuggest and this method is
effective because it gives you instant exposure to the entire website's previous backlink profile
which boosts your rankings in return you have to be very careful about setting this up because
it is a little bit technical but at the same time it's an easy way to acquire backlinks at scale so
