notified when I upload my next video let's get into the details so you're
here because you want to build backlinks to your blog or to your website to your
econ store so you probably already have a quite a good understanding of the link
building process however I just want to take you through a couple of backlink
basics just in case you're new so that the rest of my video actually makes
sense so please do not skip this part it's going to be short and valuable I
promise so the one thing that I really want to highlight at this stage is that
the quality of your backlinks really is important and I'm going to show you how
to make sure that the links that you build to your website are actually high
quality one good link is definitely a lot better than a hundred weak ones so
let's jump over to a través let me show you a couple of things you might already
know that I run several websites I've got three niche websites that I sort of
I don't really share them publicly I share a couple of my sites one of the
sites that I do share online is this Kathy native blogger calm which is just
a home base for my youtube channel really and that's why I don't really go
you know crazy hardcore link building on this Kathy net a blogger website I focus
on my actual niche blogs but just as an example you can see that my website has
got 1.2 6,000 backlinks so just over a thousand from 154 different domains now
if we look at the information about the domains we can we can see that most of
the domains that are linking to kevinator blog are actually loggia DIS
domain rank it's also you know you might have heard
of PageRank domain rank domain Authority they're all similar metrics that is
determine how powerful this domain is and essentially what you want is when
you are obtaining a link to your website you want it to be from a reasonably high
D our website so something like this with the di zero is not really going to
do a lot of good for your website you want this dr to be as high as possible
so these are all the different domains that are referring to my site now if i
go to the actual backlinks so you might have like more than one backlink from
the same website if i go into the actual backlinks that'll give me all so now
here it says group similar so if i just go one link per domain i can actually
see these hundred and fifty four backlinks from unique domains now I want
to choose just to do follow links you may know the difference do follow
basically it means that a website that is linking to you they're kind of
authorizing the official vote for your website from their website in Google
Sites nofollow links in general are worth a little bit less than do for the
links so in essence you want to build as many do for the links as possible now we
can see if I sort the 75 do for the backlinks that I have on my site if I
saw them by doea you will see that most of them actually
from low-quality websites you know you just acquire
automatic sort of backlinks as your website ages so here I've got 75 default
backlinks but only a few of them from reasonably high domain rank websites
there are a few from 80 78 58 and so forth however most of them like vast
majority are from d0 ok as you can see here now I just wanted to make sure that
you understand this dr because we're going to be referring to these in the
rest of this video we're going to be referring to domain rank so that we can
make sure that the links that you build to your website are fairly
dear because basically see all of these links here at the bottom from dia zero
even if I did not have these sites my caffeinated blogger domain would still
be getting traffic I don't really care about any of these links I mean they're
nice to have but really you want to focus on getting links from websites
that have dr or probably at least 10 20 or more so what is the strategy to build
backlinks to your website I'm going to teach you one of the strategies and that
is how to publish free guest posts but this is strategy with a twist it's not
the usual free guest post where you have to go around and peach your guest post
to a thousand different website and spam all those websites offering your guest
post and never hear back from them this is going to be something powerful so
let's get into it the first step is to find a website on which you can perform
your guest post and to do that you want to type in guest posts just like this
into Facebook search bar and then once you get the page with results make sure
that at the top you go to groups so that you essentially search the groups for
groups that have guest posts in the title of the group and then join as many
of these groups as you can so you can see the volume of posts there are very
active groups 180 points a day forty points a day 140 points today so you can
see that all of these you know group state that you can sort of join you can
see that I've joined a couple of them as well
after you request the join it might take a few hours or a day for you to get
approved you'll probably get approved for vast majority of the my name I had
any issues when I tried this and after you have been approved you can proceed
to the next step so let's see what is actually happening in these groups I'm
going to go into this guest blog post paid and exchanged and essentially these
groups are where people who have web sites are looking for guest posts and
people who want backlinks to their web sites are looking to provide those guest
posts so this is essentially an arrangement where for example you want
to build links to your site and I need content for let's say my travel website
I will go into this group and I will say I need free content I accept guest posts
in the travel niche I will give you key words you write the content for me and
in return I will let you have a backlink from my side to your side in the text of
the article and what I get in return is free content and what you get in return
is a backlinks so as an example if I go into my blog Travel croc calm sea we've
just published recently this post Trinity Trinity Beach ultimate holiday
guide so I might jump into as a site owner I might jump into this group and I
might say I need somebody to write a post in the travel niche for me and in
return you can have a backlink then somebody will respond and say ok I'll
write this guest post for you if you let me link to to my website so then you
will just write a place that looks similar to this again then somewhere
within the body of these posts there will be a link from my site to your site
so that's essentially how this works this is sort of like marketplace now
there are as you can see it says paid and exchanged alright so in general what
you want is you don't want to pay for links this is against Google Terms and
Conditions they might find out I don't know I mean chances of Google actually
finding out I guess you know possibly quite low I don't know but it's best to
my advice is to try to find opportunities where people are willing
to accept your content just because it's high-quality content and they'll give
you a backlink in return without any monetary exchange taking place so that's
why when you're looking for groups to join just make sure that you join quite
a lot of them because there are groups that are actually saying free and guest
and paid guest posting there are some that are just free guest post so there
will be some place in those groups where as you can see for example in this group
it says need a free guest post for genuinely even though this group is
called blog post paint and exchange okay some people are saying well I need
a free guest post and there are people replying so pretty much in every group
you can find free opportunities so either scroll through and find some good
opportunities or make a post and say I want to write a guest post for your
website in the Knitting niche or in the aquarium niche whatever your niche is
just make a post here or you can use obviously search functionality here as
well and find the opportunity in your post if you decide to proactively make a
post you can write something like this I've drafted it up here for you you can
say I would like to publish a free guest post on your site in the following
issues Beth's help exercise obviously substitute it with your Nicias you can
say I will write a high quality post over 2,000 words it will be likely to
rank in Google search I'm happy to research the keywords I'm a blogger with
experience and run several websites and then you can add something like contact
me to discuss after that pretty quickly you should get in touch with some people
and from there you just need to negotiate the main thing here is to find
out what is the URL the name of their website and the URL of their website so
that you can actually analyze their website and make sure that it is high
quality before I proceed to step 3 where you actually put in the time to write
the content for them so once you hear back with the domain you need to analyze
it let's say they've come back to and they've said that their domain URL is
kevinator blogger.com then you need to come back in 2 hrs or
another program that allows you to check the domain rank with da so you can type
in if you don't have access to 8 reps you can just use type in free da check
and use any of these ones that come up here and just make sure that this
website actually is getting some organic traffic and they actually have some
domain rank now the reason why you like to use hrs is because actually tell you
the likely keywords and how many organic keywords it's ranking for and how much
traffic the website is getting this is not correct this is usually a lot lower
what they then what the real volume of traffic is but you just want to see that
there is some traffic that this website is getting and some kind of keywords
that its ranking for so this website that way you know
that the website is not actually blacklist you don't want to get links
from websites that are blacklisted so go ahead and double check that either in
href or in another service there are some free services that allow you to
check the da of a website step three is to actually produce the content so I'm
gonna put a card and a card here in the top right of your screen or a link in
the description below just check the description below I'll put a link to a
video for how to write an awesome blog post you can obviously also outsource
that blog post if you want on the topic that you will agree with the owner of
the website that you can try to publish the guest post on so when you create the
blog post for them in your negotiations ask them whether they want you to
publish it directly into their WordPress and in this case you might need access
to the WordPress admin sorry not admin just like editor access or user access
then you can type it up straight into the WordPress editor on their website
and somewhere within the text of the article make sure that you include a
little link to your website just the way that you agree may be in the author
column somewhere at the bottom or somewhere throughout the article just
put a link a dewfall a link to your website that's it step four is submit
and essentially you're done the heat rate on these is very high I find in
general you know about half of the people that you end up talking to will
go ahead with you and you can find some really high quality opportunities
because for the owners of those websites this is free content you don't actually
even have as as an owner of a website if you go there and you manage to find some
good high quality posts the owners of those websites essentially don't have to
pay for content they just have content produced for them so it's a it's an
absolute win-win it's a really great strategy and I hope you enjoyed it once
