How To Make Your Blog Links Better

 

Having your links on a popular blog is never a bad idea, but there are certain factors that must be considered if we want to have the best possible SEO.  A lot of times our much sought after blog links that we worked so hard to get become buried under new content that the blogger is posting daily.  That’s because for one reason or another, that particular blogger may not use good interlinking techniques or even be aware that he or she is supposed to be doing this, their one main concern isn’t SEO, its there readers.  We’ll go into how to go about letting these bloggers know that these two factors go hand in hand a little later.  Let’s take a look at how to make your blog links better.

Make Your Blog Links Better | 5 Easy Steps

What you’ll need to know first about how to make your blog links better is that there are many great plug-ins and add-ons to do this for a blog, however some bloggers won’t implement these tools, so lets take a look at 5 easy steps to make your blog links better provided to us by SearchEngineWatch.

  1. Recommend Good Plug-Ins – We’ve got to remember here that bloggers aren’t necessarily marketing savvy, so they might not know about SEO techniques or plug-ins, so in order to make your blog links better you might need to make a friendly recommendation about an SEO plug-in that you like.  Make sure to focus on their readers by explaining that interlinking could be a way to make their readers more engaged in the blog, rather than focusing on SEO, which they may or not be educated about.
  2. Build Links – I know what we all want is to do as much delegating as possible without having to do much of the time-consuming hands-on work, but if you truly want to increase your exposure, you might want to build a few links yourself.  This means that if the blog that posted a link to your landing page usually only links internally, your link may not receive many hits, however its much easier to convince others to link to the blog that posted your link than to beg for links to your own landing page.  This will help make your blog links better, because if the blog receives more attention, so will you!
  3. Title Tags – A lot of time you won’t have any control over the title tags that the blog uses, but if you or your company is featured in the article, you may have some say in what the title tags are.  If you do, then you can make sure that the link to your webpage has some keyword anchored text as well as the title tag and this will show the search engines what the blog is about (you!) and what your site is about as well.
  4. Vary Your Bios – Its not always possible to get your link directly in the content of the post, therefore many folks out there are trying to build their online presence by adding guest posts with bio links.  However if you do this you’ll want to vary your bios to fit the keywords of that particular blog, that way you won’t have any duplicate bios and that blogs SEO will be higher ranked.
  5. Skip The Bad Blogs – This sounds obvious, but in order to make your blog links better, you need to choose blogs that have a lot of readers.  Sure it may be more time-consuming and take a little more charisma on your part to land these links, but having your links on an unsuccessful blog is almost as bad as no links at all.  Quantity is not quality.
