Ultimate Link Building List: Get Quality Backlinks to your Website

Offsite SEO mainly deals with getting quality backlinks to your website. With Google penalizing most of the spammy and automated link building practices in 2019, it makes even more sense to invest in the right methods of building quality links from credible online sources to your website.

Backlinks play a major role in improving your website’s SEO score and increasing traffic. This post offers an extensive list of ways to build quality backlinks to your blog or website.

Don’t just focus on getting backlinks to your homepage. You need to diversify your link building strategy to get links to the internal pages of your website as well. This will facilitate the discovery and ranking of those pages for the targeted keywords.

You could set up a dedicated resource page, such as a “Link Building Guide” on your website and then look for ways to link to it.

Broken link building lets you get a backlink quickly from a high-ranking page. Look for broken links on a website and then email the website owner with a replacement link for the broken link. The replacement link points to a page on your site having content similar to that of the broken link. If the content in the replacement link is relevant and useful, the website owner will consider replacing it.
