what's up guys julian goldie here and welcome to today's video today we're going to take a
good look at how to get backlinks for your website we'll cover a few of the best link
building methods that will teach you how to get some backlinks from really high authority sites
and some of these methods you might already be familiar with but others such as method
number three might be completely new to you by the way these link building methods don't cost
any money they're completely free so if you're interested in how to get back things for free
you should definitely check out these strategies today i've personally had a lot of success with
these methods and in some of the examples i'll go over actual case study results that highlight
what i've been able to achieve for my clients and for my own websites too so that includes actual
link placements and even traffic improvements that occurred as a result of landing these
links so let's just jump straight in so method number one is harrow backlinks right so the first
method we're going to focus on here is called harrow link building harrow stands for helper
report out and this is the name of a website the journalists use to find sources for their articles
now if you sign up for this website you'll receive source requests from journalists and
if you respond to these requests the journalists might then use you as a source and subsequently
link to your website in that article using this link building method i've managed to secure links
on websites such as forbes.com in fact harry link building was one of the things that allowed us to
take this specific client from zero to around 145 000 visitors per month in just six months if you'd
like to learn more about how we did this check out this case study on my site and here's another link
i managed to secure for myself using this method on a website called cloudways.com now this is a
really high authority site and if i type their domain into ahrefs authority checker you can see
that they have a dr of 89 so getting a backlink from this site is definitely a good thing success
with harrow generally comes down to being a really good source for the journalist for instance
when a journalist posts a source request on harrow they will often ask a very specific question
if you're interested here's an example of a source request when you see a source request that is
relevant to you you need to make sure you answer the question thoroughly and before the deadline
so you need to address every query within the actual question and you might even want to add
some additional context you also need to make sure you meet the requirements of the journalists as a
journalist might not use you as a source if you don't if you'd like to learn more about how you
can get results with this link building method check out my video how to get dr 89 backlinks
with harrow in 2022 in it i go into more detail on how you can get results with harry link building
anyhow if you're going to try this method out you might also want to experiment with other platforms
like source bottle this is just another website that journalists can use to find sources and so
if you sign up for both harrah and sourcebottle you will have access to more source requests
if you know about any other websites that can help with this kind of thing let me know in the
comment section below i'd love to hear about it method number two is to create skyscraper content
the second method we're going to look at is known as a skyscraper content method this link building
method is basically made up of the following five steps okay so number one is you pick a keyword you
are interested in targeting secondly you study the top ranking content for this keyword third up you
find out who is linking to the content and fourth you create something better than these existing
forms of content and finally you approach the people linking to your competitors and ask them
to link to your content too if you need a simpler way of thinking about this just consider that all
you're really doing here is reverse engineering your competitors backlinks now this method might
sound like a lot of work but in many ways it's this high amount of work that makes this linked
building strategy so effective after all a lot of other people aren't willing to go through all this
effort so this method isn't really saturated or overdone and note that aside from the quality of
your content a lot of your success with this link building strategy comes down to how you go about
cold emailing website owners if you have a long drawn out email website owners might not respond
to get around this issue i use the template shown here now this template is nice and short and
so if you just use this template you should be able to get some great results with this method
now of course if you don't like this template or you think you have a better one let me know
in the comment section below i'd love to exchange notes with you anyhow it's important to remember
that some website owners might not respond the first time around a lot of the time this isn't
down to anything personal as they might have just missed your email because of this you need to
make sure you follow up around two to three times with every single website you contact
another thing that's worth noting here is that you might be able to combine one of the main driving
concepts behind the skyscraper method which is essentially creating the best content on the
given topic with some of the other techniques we're going to cover later on for instance you
can use the mentality behind the skyscraper content to get some great results with method
number three and method number four i'm about to show you by the way if this video is helping you
please like and subscribe for more free seo videos that will help you grow your website method number
three is resource page backlinks all over the internet there are high authority sites that have
web pages known as resource pages these pages are essentially just a collection of important
links that are relevant to the niche in question for instance here's a resource page dedicated to
horses and here's another one dedicated to people in the marine industry the idea with resource page
link building is that you create a resource that is worthy of securing a link on one of these pages
of course if you want to secure a link on a resource page you first have to
find one fortunately finding resource pages isn't that hard as you can just type your keyword into
google alongside the word of resources or helpful links now there are a couple of things you can do
here to increase your odds of landing a link with this method for instance one thing you might want
to do is look for broken links broken links are essentially old links that don't actually go to
a website or web page that is still live even if the link does go to a live website the link might
go to the wrong page or the page might have been taken down now if you find a link like this on a
resource page it's a big opportunity for you that's because you can just create a resource
based on the broken link and then contact the website owner and let them know about the broken
link whilst also letting them know about your resources they could link to instead in many
cases the website owner will be happy to use your resource just so they can quickly fix the broken
link issue on their site now you might also want to study the backlink profile of your competitors
if they have any resource page links you should identify the websites that are actually providing
them with these links the fact that these sites are publishing resource page links
for your competitors means that they will likely publish a resource page link for you as long as
you provide them with a good enough resource and method number four is guest blogging now guest
blogging is another method you can use to get backlinks the idea of guest blogging is that you
simply approach websites in your niche and you ask them if you can write for them a lot of the time
you will need to pitch them a few different guest blog ideas and they will then just pick
one of the ideas and ask you to write that post if the post is approved you will then most likely
end up with a link in the author's bio section if you want to find guest posting opportunities
you can use google to help you all you need to do is type in a keyword related to your niche
alongside the phrase write for us of course write for us is just one of the phrases you could use
alongside your keyword and if you want to be really thorough you might want to try other
phrases as well such as guest posts contributing writer submit a post contribute to our site and if
you have any keyword strings that help you find guest posts please let us know in the comment
section below now once you start finding guest posting opportunities you might want to stick
them in a spreadsheet like this one then once you have this list you can systematically work through
all the opportunities and track your progress with each site keep in mind that most of the
websites that offer guest posting opportunities tend to get lots of guest post requests because
of this you really need to make sure you stand out when submitting a pitch one way you can do this is
by simply providing them with an excellent guest post idea if you don't know what to write about
think about what might be a hot topic in your industry at that moment in time if the website
in question hasn't covered this topic they might be happy to have someone else write content on
this topic for them however you might also want to provide them with rough outline that covers
what you will talk about in your guest post and if you do that the person on the other end will
have a rough sense of how your guest posts will turn out and so if your outline is good they will
likely have confidence in you and your writing skills so that's the end of this video hopefully
you should now have a decent sense of how you can get some backlinks to your site the methods we
touched upon here are really just a handful of the ones that can work but there are many more methods
