To understand the effectiveness of website link building using SEO there is a need to first be acquainted with the phrase link building.

Link building is the act of getting hyperlinks from other sites to your own site. A hyperlink is not a super link but just a link that you believe matches the content on your site and therefore this link helps users navigate between pages.

Link building is not an easy process. This is what Search Engines use to crawl the web hence the need to know how to build high-quality links that will put you ahead of the pack.


Link Building and Search Engines


Search engines use links to do two things:

●     To discover new pages on the web
●     To help rank pages

Search engines crawl pages, extract their content and use the same for indexing purposes. This is used to weigh if the page is of sufficient quality to be ranked under specific keywords to be ranked. The higher the quality of links, the more likely the site ranks highly.

There are three types of links that count in SEO link building. There are internal links and these stem from your site. Outbound links leave your site and go to another and lastly, inbound links also known as backlinks are links from other sites. Healthy links can get you started.

Steps to take before effective SEO Link Building


At Wordspeak Media, we know that building links without great content is an exercise in futility. Great content is an indication of relevant and trustworthy information. You will, therefore, need to do the following:

●     Come up with a great content marketing strategy
●     Generate appealing headlines
●     Optimize your keywords
●     Follow the rules that accompany great copywriting
●     Use images and videos
●     Have a checklist, ebooks or any other resources that will pull people in

It should be noted that what worked before might be obsolete today. There are methods that were made ineffective thanks to the Google algorithm update hence the need to know what is effective and relevant.

1.    Writing guest posts

This is a form of content-based link building. You can pitch content ideas to the owner of a site and ask if you can write a guest post. This is a mutual agreement where you get organic backlinks and the site owner gets quality content. You will also be exposing your site to more traffic.

2.    Make use of the skyscraper technique

It is said to be one of the most difficult techniques to actualize but it is quite effective. All it takes is creating content around a subject that everyone in a particular field is facing and giving viable solutions. This makes you an authority on the subject and backlinks are generated as a result of traffic by readers who see you as the go-to source.

3.    Evergreen topics and keywords

Everyone knows how tempting it is to go with the trend. Everyone is writing about a hot topic, perhaps you should think of an ever hot topic that will be relevant no matter the subject of the day. After all, aren’t people seeking fresh ideas?

4.    Create resource pages

A resource page contains informative articles that are related to the topic on the website. A resource page normally results in emails from other link builders

5.    Broken link building

There are plenty of broken links on the internet and some are available on valuable sites. The aim here is to approach the webmaster and give them a fully operational link in exchange for a broken one. This process can be repeated several times.

6.    Blog commenting

This might not seem like a big deal but it is. Make meaningful comments on blogs you like and you will soon have a thread of comments from readers who find your pieces worthy. At the end of it all, their curiosity will be elated and they will follow you back home to get the rest of the goodies. You can be the pied piper of comments.

7.    Email signatures

You do not want to bombard people with emails about your business but you can still find a way by ensuring your email signature advertises you. For instance, add a link to your site as a signature and every time you send an email you are driving someone to your site.

In a Nut Shell


The ability to connect your site through others will allow you to reach a fresh audience. The more the traffic the likely the number of potential customers for your business. Backlinks and site relevance go hand in hand. These tips will help you build effective Wordspeak that will boost your online presence.
