What is Linkbuilding
The process of increasing the quality and quantity of inbound links to a webpage inorder to make that page or website get higher rankings in search engines.
Why Backlinks are so important
Every website needs hyperlinks from relevant external sites to get recognised an authourity source in its niche.So links are like upvotes for webpages and website.
The higher the number of these links, more more authority that page has in the eyes of Google and other search engines.These inbound links are also called Backlinks, a major Ranking signal used by search engines to rank content on search engine result pages.
How to get Backlinks for your Website
Write High Quality Content
Produce High quality content that answers searchers query and you will get more links and higher rankings on search results.
Write more indepth, well detailed and well researched content that provide value to your readers and you will see better results and more traffic.
Share Visuals(images, inforgraphics and charts)
Peoples attention spans are so short nowdays and not all will see your posts in full.
People nowdays like to skim content and its very important to put nice visuals that are easliy digestable by your target audience.Put relevant images that capture your viewers attention when they are skimming through your content.Inforgraphics are a powerful link building magnet.
They are shared by other content creaters, on their websites and some of them will credit with a backlink to your site.If they don’t, you just send a nice request asking them to credit your graphic.Charts also have the same effect like inforgraphics, they get mentions and linked to all the time.
Visuals can also reduce your bounce rate( a bounce is when someone click on your site and and then back to the search result)
Write Data Driven Content
