If you are struggling to build backlinks or drive free
traffic to your website, then make sure you read this article until the end.
Because I will be sharing my 100% working strategies that I have learned in
dong SEO.
The higher the amount of high quality relevant backlinks that you
have for your website, the easier it will be for you to beat your competition
and rank number 1 for your target keywords.
Driving massive free traffic to
your website will be a piece of cake if you learn the art of building
backlinks. Before moving forward, this video is lesson 8 of our free affiliate
marketing mastery course.
And this course I share how to scale an Amazon
affiliate website from $0 - $1,000/month. Before I tell you about creating
backlinks, I have to mention one thing. That specifically in India, I have had
so many interns and all the people are talking about “comment backlinks” “forum
backlinks” and “directory submissions”. Honestly guys, these are the worse
backlinks that you can make. These used to work in 2011 and 2012.

But
especially in 2019, none of these works. And rather than help your website,
these will rather give you a Google penalty. And your website will get zero
traffic. So guys, please, please, please stay away from comment backlinks, or
forum backlinks and directory submissions. And all these digital marketing
institutes are still teaching these methods. So guys since you’re my students,
I highly recommend you guys to please stay away from such kinds of backlinks they’re not worth it.
So let’s say you are targeting an article like “best dslr in India”. To find
the link opportunities, what you have to do is first search for your target
keyword, let’s say you are searching for “best dslr in India”. Open the article
that Is ranking number one, copy the URL, open ahrefs, go to site explorer, add
the URL here and click on search. Now this will give you all the referring
domains that are pointing to this particular article.
Now I am using ahrefs, I
know it’s a paid tool and not every one of you can afford it. I will be showing
you the free alternative as well which is Ubersuggest. So let me first tell you
about ahrefs. Now this is the best technique to find backlink opportunities.
Now since these websites are already linking to your target article, it’s much
easier to email them, or contact this website and ask for a link to your
website as well. And also you have to make sure that all the links that you are
building are “do-follow”. You can then export this list as well.
Here the
anchor text is best DSLR. So it’s a keyword-reach anchor text and also the
domain authority of the website that is referring to this particular article is
also very high, 64 domain rank. So definitely the website, the quality of the
article- so one- whenever you are looking at backlink opportunity, you have to
look at 3 factors.
First is the domain rank or the domain authority (DR). Here
the domain rank of this particular website, which is referring the backlink,
you can see it’s 64. It’s very high, that means that the quality of the
backlink will be really high. Secondly you have to look at the relevancy. Here
you can see that the article is referring, that is giving the backlinks as
“best digital camera in India”.
So definitely the relevancy is also very high
because the backlinks are targeting towards the DSLR –related article, right?
So both these metrics are really amazing. The domain rank and the relevancy.
The third thing that you have to look at is the anchor text. Here, the anchor
text is “Best DSLR” so the keyword that is used to make the backlink is the
anchor text.
Similarly you can check all the other referring domain as well.
Then what you can do is just open the website here, find the email address. To
find the email address, there are multiple domain extensions. You can also use
a Google extension called “email hunter”. So all you have to do is find the
email address of this website, and send them an email that you are also looking
for a- that you have also written a high quality article and it will really be
nice if they can link back to your article or any other they that they’ll be
able to link to your article.
And now since this website is a very high
authority website, it’s highly unlikely that they will reply to your email. So
guys, one thing I have to tell you is that creating backlinks is not that easy.
Because people think that creating backlinks is a piece of cake, but then again
it’s difficult especially in 2019 when backlink is becoming more like a price
commodity. So don’t think that you’ll be able to create hundreds of backlinks
in few days. It takes a lot of time and patience. Like I use a particular software
for sending all the emails.
I use a software called “ninjaoutreach”. Earilier I
used to use “BuzzStream” as well. Both of these are paid tools. These are used
to send email scripts to thousands of people at a time. And if you’re looking
for a free alternative, you can use “GMass”. It’s a free alternative software.
With these tools, you can create various campaigns, various templates. You can
create- so like for this campaign I added 250 blogs in here and I sent them-
almost 165 emails were sent. So what it does it- all of you have to do is add
all the website, like here I can see, I can open this particular campaign.
So
to all these websites here, my email was sent. And I was asking them for a link
one way or another and few of them replied to me and then my team handles them.
They give the follow-up, sometimes people ask for money, sometimes people ask
for guest- sometimes they just give the link just because the article has a
really high quality. So this is the software I use, it’s called “ninjaoutreach”.
I will be creating a very comprehensive tutorial on how to do this. Apart from
that you can also check YouTube videos on how to use “ninjaoutreach”. But this
is a paid tool, you have to invest some money for that. Second alternative is
Buzzstream, it is also a very nice tool. I used to use it early. This is just
an alternative for “ninjaoutreach”. If you are looking for a free alternative
you can use GMass.
So guys the best technique is to look at your competitor’s
backlinks and pitch them to get your backlinks. So now the next question in
your mind will what exactly to email to these guys. So I will be creating a
repository… so for that I have created a PDF file where I have added all the
email scripts that I am using to send to my prospects. So to get that PDF file
all you have to do is like the video, and comment on this video “yes, I want
it”. And I will share the PDF with you in the description section of this
video.
So if you’re not using ahrefs, if you’re not investing in ahrefs and you
still want to build the backlinks so there is good news for you. So there is
this tool called Ubersuggest by Neil Patel. Just until last night, they were
not offering the backlink opportunity. While I’m recording this video, just
today they have launched the backlinks feature as well.
So here I can see that
I’ve added this website called “techradar.com” I can see that for every
article, like I’m in the top pages section, that in every article, how many
backlinks that this article have. So it has 225 backlinks. All I have to find
the backlink opportunity is click here on “view all”. So these are all the
websites that are referring to this particular article. Similarly you can do
this for any articles on this particular domain.
You can also export these
backlink opportunities to excel sheet and download it for later reference. And
it also gives the domain score like the authority power of the backlink and the
link type, whether it’s a textual backlink or an image backlink etc. And also
the anchor text, like what exactly is the keyword which is used to build the
backlinks. So guys, whenever I am building backlinks for my affiliate website.
My process is to first make a list of my competing domains. People who are
already ranking in Google search engine. Then my next step is to take each
domain, add it to the site explorer in ahrefs and download all the referring
domains that are referring to this particular website. Then I sort them from
no-follow to do-follow. Like, I only click the do-follow backlinks and then I
add all those domain names in NinjaOutreach here. And then I start sending them
my emails script of asking for a backlink.
Honestly guys, I cannot give you a
one best recipe for building backlinks that will work. Also guys, very
important tip. Stay away from websites like Fiverr… when you’ll be searching
for “backlinks” here, they’ll be so many options like “I will boost your Google
ranking with SEO backlinks” and so many other shitty services. Guys, trust me,
these will not help your website. Instead of helping your website, they will
give you a Google penalty. So stay away from these services which are very
cheap.
Trust me, that is my experience talking, stay away from such services.
Similarly, there’s another website called “SEOClerks”. They also offer
backlinks. Guys, these cheap backlinks are not worth it. The best kind of
backlink is one that is highly relevant to your article. Which is coming from a
high domain website, and also has a good anchor text. Also there is something
called PBN which is something called “private blog network”. Once you start
building the backlinks, sooner or later you’ll hear about PBN.
You can also buy
PBN links to get your website ranked. But this comes under the gray hat area or
rather purely black hat. So what this does is- you might be able to rank your
website for a- maybe a month, a couple of months, so maybe even for a year. But
then again, it depends on the luck. If a new Google update comes up and your
PBN is blacklisted, then your website ranking will go to 0. And also there are chances
that your website ranking will never improve with PBN links.
So I will highly
recommend to stay away from PBNs, or Fiverr links or SEOClerks links. They will
not help your website, they will rather give you a Google penalty. So my best
strategy is to first, go to ahrefs, add you competitor’s URL here in the site
explorer. My strategy is to make a list of your competitor, and add their
domain names one by one in ahrefs or Ubersuggest, whichever one you are using.
Download all their referring domains, and start emailing them one-by-one. If
you’re using a free or alternative, you can use GMass. If you’re using
automated software like me, you can use NInjaOutreach or BuzzStream. And for
all the email scripts that I am using to build backlinks, all you have to do is
like the video, and subscribe to the channel and comment with “yes, I want it”
and I will share all the email scripts, in the description section. Now for the
next technique to build backlinks, you need to put in some efforts in the
beginning. But it will drive you free traffic, as well as few initial
backlinks, whenever you’re building your first Amazon affiliate website.
So the
technique is about creating a very comprehensive article on the top experts on
your niche. Your website could be on any niche. It could be guitar niche, it
could be fashion niche, or it could be dog niche or anything. So the idea is to
create a very comprehensive article of all the blogs that exist in the dog
niche, or whatever niche your website is in and feature them in your article.
So for that, what you’ll have to do first create an excel sheet like this. So
here, the last name, first name, contact, the email address, the URL of the
website you’ll be featuring and the type of website it is it could be blog, it
could be commerce, etc.
We’ll be focusing primarily on blog and the domain
authority. Because this is a very important metric. We need backlinks from high
authority websites, so that the backlink power is high. So let’s say your
website is in the guitar niche. So all you have to do is search “top guitar
blogs” and open all the articles that rank. Then what you have to do is, go
through each of the blog that is listed on this article and add them to your
excel sheet. So like here, the first is premiere guitar.
So add the premiere
guitar domain URL, type of the website it is, and also check the domain
authority using all the extensions on the website. Then find an email address.
So let’s say if dwe go to the website, so we’ll just- so let’s say we just go
to the website and we’ll copy the URL. We’ll add this to our list here.
Similarly, we’ll try to find the contact address. So to find the contact
address, there’s a very amazing extension which is free. All you have to do is
search for “email hunter chrome” and click on this first result.
And add this
extension to your chrome. Add this extension and this will really help you in
finding the email address of the majority of the websites. Apart from that, you
can also search for “contact” and check the contact page. Most of the time, the
email address will be present in the contact page as well. Or you can use other
extensions as well. So this way all you have to do is, populate this excel
sheet will all the blogs. So from 1… to 2… to 3… to 4.
And that’s- similarly
make a list of at least 100 to 200 blogs here. So not just this article, you
should check all the articles which should feature the various guitar blogs. So
this way you’ll have a very comprehensive list of your targets that you can
focus on. If you don’t want to do this work yourself, you can also outsource
this on any freelancing website like “Freelancer.in” or “Upwork”. Now the next
step is to create the article. This again you can write it yourself or again
outsource it on iWriter.
Like the one I mentioned on another video. So all you
have to do is, for every URL here, just open the URL and make a short
description, take a screenshot of the home page and similarly a short
description about the website. You can do it yourself or you can outsource it.
And this way you can add a very comprehensive article on your website, your
affiliate website. So this way you’ll have a very comprehensive article of top
expert blogs on your niche. Your niche can be anything. So once your article is
done and published, now comes the part of promoting it and also getting
backlinks for it.
So for that all you have to do is, once your article is
published. So there are few email scripts that you have to use. Like in the
sheet we also added the contact address here, right? So this is where we’ll be
using it for all the people who have been featured on your article. You have to
email this email script to all of them. Like email subject “we love your
awesome blog!” and here, “hi, name- name of the person”.
You’ll be substituting
the name field for the name here. “Love what you’re doing on the site name”.
Here you’ll be mentioning the site name. Just wanted to give you the heads up
that you were featured in my new article, add the article title here. And the-
your article link here… And I really hope it will deliver some new visitors to
your site. So this way in a way, you are boosting the ego of the other person…
that they have been featured on your blog. So everyone loves appreciation, so
they are likely to share your article on various social media platforms and
they would give you a reply.
There will also be people who will not be replying
to your email. So you can also send a follow up and I highly recommend you guys
to do a follow up, because I’ve seen at least 20 – 30% people replying to me
when I send the follow-up. So in the follow up, you just have to send the “I
was thinking about you” in the subject line. Hi (name), just checking to see if
you have received the last email that I sent you. And again, mention the link.
So this way you’ll be able to reach most of the bloggers that have been
featured. And either they will be replying to you or thanking you or some of
them will even be sharing your article. Now comes the backlinking part.
So
using this technique you were able to build relationship with these few expert
bloggers on your niche. Now, all you have to do is send this particular email
script to them. Hi (name). Glad you liked it. I’m a big fan of your blog. By
the way, I’m still new to this whole blogging world and I would love to
contribute a guest post on your blog. Give them 3 ideas, some really good
titles which they are more likely to approve on their website. And this way you
can do a guest posting on their site. And in the guest post you can include a
backlink to your homepage, or to an article that you are targeting.
So I know
this particular process is a little lengthy one because you have to first
complete this excel sheet then you have to get this article written. And then
you have to promote it, send the emails. But then again I have seen the
conversion rate is comparatively higher, compared to the other methods that we
do for backlink building.
So this will really help you in getting those initial
backlinks when your website is new. And… so I highly recommend this technique.
One other thing that you can do is that you can also send a badge. Like you can
create a free badge on Canva.com. You can add text here like top expert 2019,
whatever year it is going. Top dog food expert if your niche is dog food. And
you can also send this badge along with the email that you have been featured
in the blog. So many people add this badge on their homepage or on their site.
This again will help you get few backlinks. If anyone embeds this badge on
their website. So this was the technique of building backlinks to top experts
kind of articles. So you can use this technique as well, whenever you are
starting a new affiliate website. Now the next technique will be guest posting
and I love guest posting because the conversion rate of getting backlinks is
comparatively higher, because you are also providing a high-quality content to
the other person.
So it’s a win-win situation for both of the people. So to
find a guest-posting opportunity, all you have to do is enter the niche. Your
niche here- you can- your niche could be anything. It could be guitar with the
double quotes and the guest post. So all these websites are accepting the guest
post. All you have to do is make a copy of this particular tab here, and you’ll
get a copy here. And again, instead of this, we’ll rename it to guest post
opportunities. And again, we’ll make a comprehensive sheet of all the
opportunities that we could find. So go from each article by article.
Again you
can do this yourself or you can outsource it through freelancers. All you have
to do is go to the website. Go to the contact or the guest post here. And
you’ll see that they might even have an email address, like here is the email
address “josh@guitaradventures.com”. Copy it at the contact data, add the name like
“Josh” the URL of the website, domain authority, etc. Make sure you do ask
comprehensive research as possible. Try to find as many opportunities as you
can find.
I’ll recommend you guys to outsource this work by creating a video
tutorial and outsourcing it for freelancing websites. So once you have this
done, all you have to do is send them emails for a guest posting page. And in
the guest posting page, you’ll be asking them that you want to send a high
quality article on their website and that in return you just want a do-follow
back link. I’ve seen that I have been able to convert 2 – 3 persons of my
emails in to actual backlinks.
So guest posts is something that I highly
recommend to you guys. I will recommend you guys to start with the top expert,
then also do the technique that I did in the start of this video, of looking at
the backlinks of your competitors, while side by side doing the guest posting.
If you want my email template on how I build my guest post links on my website,
then you can like and subscribe to the channel and comment “yes, I want it”.
And I’ll share all the email scripts that I’ve shared on this video and also
many more emails that will really help you in building backlinks for your
website. Now the next technique is guestographic. In guest posting you are
sending an article to your website. In guestographic you are sending an
infographic. So what to do is, create an amazing infographic on your website.
Honestly there’s this amazing article by Backlinko.com on how to get backlinks using
guestographics techniques.
I highly recommend you guys to read this entire
article. It’s an amazing resource and I use this technique myself. I know it
will require you to create an amazing infographic but then again, creating
backlinks is not that easy. You need to invest some time, or energy or money.
If you want to scale an Amazon affiliate website. So I highly recommend you
guys to read this article on Backlinko.com on how to get backlinks. Using the
guestographics technique. The technique is all about creating a high quality
infographic and then promoting it, just like you are reaching out for a guest
post.
And many of the websites will start giving you backlinks and then they’ll
feature your guestographics on their website. The best part about guestographic
is for guest post technique, you have to write a new article for every website.
But with the guestographic one infographic once, and you can get as many
backlinks as possible using a single infographic. So that’s the best part about
guestographic. You can even go one step ahead if you can create an animatic
infographic. Now I know that creating something like this won’t be possible if
you don’t have the design background, so you can outsource it and create an
amazing infographic- animated infographic like this.
So creating backlinks will
be much more easier if you go one step ahead and create something like this and
do the outreach process and send those email scripts. And many of the people
will be happy to lend to you. Like this is another amazing inforgraphic. So
find ideas on how you can create an animated infographic for your niche. And
then use the outreach process to build backlinks to your site.
And one last
thing that I highly recommend you guys to do is go to this website,
Backlinko.com. And read all their articles. Like go to the blog section and
read all his articles. Similarly go into “ahrefs.com/blog”. And read all these
articles as well. They have some really, really amazing tricks on how to build
high quality backlinks. And this will really improve your SEO game. Similarly
there is this 3rd website called “robbierichards.com”. And I highly recommend
you guys to again visit and read all the articles of this website.
So these 3
websites, if you are reading all the articles, these are more than enough for
you to find all the tactics that actually work in building backlinks. These are
the pros of SEO- these guys know how to rank their articles to number one for
very, very high competitive keywords. And guys, there is no magic ways to backlinks.
I cannot give you a list of websites where you can directly go and sign up to
get backlinks. Backlink is a very slow process.
I have a team of almost 9
people working for me just for SEO itself. And trust me there are days when we
are not even able to build single backlink. Even with the 9 member team. So if
you’re going the white hat way, if you’re going with high quality and low
quantity. Then, it’s a slow area. But then again the results will be amazing,
because once your website gets ranked, you will be getting the free traffic,
for all the years to come.
So now let’s go through the Top 10 SEO tips that you
have to keep in mind, while building backlinks.
- Focus on quality not on quantity. One quality backlink is 100 times powerful than 1,000 low quality backlinks.
- Focus more on do-follow backlinks and less on no-follow backlinks. This does not mean that you won’t be building nay no-follow backlinks, because even having 100% do-follow backlinks will look shady in the eyes of Google
- Have patience. SEO is not a sprint, rather a marathon. You cannot expect to see results in just few days, rather, the results will start coming after few months.
- Don’t just focus on off-page SEO or creating backlinks. You should also your energy on on-page SEO. Like writing an SEO-friendly article, internal linking and doing SEO audit.
- A relevant article for a low quality website is more powerful, than a non-relevant backlink from a high-authority website.
- Don’t create all your backlinks using the same anchor text. Rather, diversify your anchor texts, throughout your backlinks.
- Don’t buy backlinks from any of these services like Fiverr.com or SEOClerks.com. Instead of helping your website, this shady backlinks will rather give you a penalty from Google.
- I have seen in many YouTube videos who call themselves SEO gurus, they ask their viewers to go to the comment section and make comment backlinks. Trust me guys, they are not worth it. You should never make comment backlinks. First of all, they are no-follow and they will not help your website, at all.
- If you really want to be good at link-building, you have to invest some money on a good SEO tool. The tool that I recommend and personally use is ahrefs. This tool alone is helping me create backlinks for all my affiliate websites combined.
- You should also have 20% of your overall backlinks, pointing towards your homepage. It’s all about looking natural and organic. If you are building all your backlinks to just the articles and not the homepage of your website, this looks shady.
So
make sure 20% of your backlinks are pointing towards your homepage and the rest
80% are pointing towards the, articles. So what are your next steps?
