Getting Backlinks by Asking Other Bloggers
Blogging is one of the most successful methods for reaching your target audience. There’s no doubt about that. However, the number one problem that bloggers are facing today is the lack of traffic and exposure to their blog posts. Driving the right kind of viewers to your post is the extremely important. This is because without this, your blog will be worthless. In order to accomplish this, as a blogger, you should form a network with other bloggers. Get back referral traffic by asking them for links. Getting a backlink from another relevant blog will help you immensely. It will not only get you more exposure, but also help you get your blog in front of your targeted readers, both directly and through the search engines.
First, ensure that you are supplying the other offers something that they cannot give up. This can be done by making an even better blog post and providing something free with it. You can simply give away a picture that relates to your blog post, which the other blogger can include with your post. Although this does not have to be done with all blog posts, but it works great it your post is referencing a specific product.
For example, if you are talking about Play Station Two in your blog post, then you can include a picture with the product in it. Quite naturally, you have to own the picture’s copyright or it is copyright free. Your plan is to help them make great posts without having them to do a lot of hard work. That’s the key. When the other bloggers realize that you’re putting in extra effort to make their job easier, they will want to link to you. Bloggers are very active people. In order to get their attention, it is essential that you make your emails different by customizing them. It is astounding what utilizing the name of your blogger can do. This proves that you are not a spammer, but have spent time researching the blogger you are contacting. Indicate to the blogger that you have taken steps above the others to tailor your emails. This will obviously make the blogger feel good. They will feel like they are admired. Sending out a random email without any personalization is equal to virtual cold calling. This would be seen as spamming.
Last, every link that you provide for a blogger has to have plenty of information and be practical. Be extremely finicky in relation to forwarding your posts. This is because bloggers who are credible will not link to any ole type of content or any content that their readers will not find to be valuable. This is a good opportunity for you to build up a relationship with the other bloggers who are in your niche. So do not make a bad impression. Ensure that the blogger is blogging in your related niche and not just any blogger on the internet. The more targeted you are with the way you do things, the better results you will get.
Basically, starting a blog is not difficult, even producing the articles is not that difficult. But, when it comes to advertising, you have to get your blog links at the right time.
