Real Example:<\/strong> A tech blog contacted a university\u2019s “student resources” page and offered free interview resume templates. They received a backlink and referral traffic of over 1,200 visitors in 30 days.<\/p>\n Ever wonder how your competitor is getting thousands of hits on a daily basis? Well, there are ways to tell exactly who\u2019s linking to them. One of my favorite tools is SEOElite. These tools will spider Google and SEOmoz\u2019s OpenSiteExplorer. Browse through the links and see if you can take advantage of any.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Also monitor competitors\u2019 top content. You can recreate better versions with more depth and visuals.<\/p>\n Case Study 2:<\/strong> A fitness blog identified that its competitor ranked for \u201chome workout routine.\u201d They created a longer version with videos, downloadable PDF, and influencers. That one post later accounted for 40% of their monthly traffic.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be greedy with your website. Be sure to link out to other websites in your post. If people start clicking on these links, they may see your referral coming up in their traffic reports. As a returned favor, they may link out to you.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Only link out to credible resources or industry leaders to build topical authority.<\/p>\n Real Example:<\/strong> A marketing blogger consistently linked to HubSpot, Moz, and Buffer. After months, Buffer found their content and linked back to 3 articles, boosting referral traffic by 3,500 visitors over 2 weeks.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t done any sort of video marketing, consider creating some quality videos that you can throw upon YouTube and other video directories. Here\u2019s one of the best links on the web: http:\/\/www.cucumbernebula.com\/blog\/a-list-of-link-building-lists\/#vss<\/p>\n Instead of focusing on the directories that add everyone, consider adding your website to a local niche directory. Keep in mind that some are going to charge you, but it may be worth it. For instance, if your website is on law, consider finding a directory on law that you can add your website to.<\/p>\n Like I\u2019m doing now, guest posting is an awesome way to reach out to a new audience and write a great piece. If people like what you\u2019re writing about, they may click on the link in your author profile. To find these guest posts, search for [guest posts + \u201ckeyword\u201d], or use services like MyBlogGuest.com.<\/p>\n Do you offer some sort of service that you can hand out to others in exchange for a mention? For example, let\u2019s say that you can create graphics. Offer website owners a new logo or a graphic of their choice. In exchange, just ask them to link back to you.<\/p>\n Have you used a service in the past? If so, ask them if you can leave a small testimonial. If they use it, be sure to use your name and company name. If they blast it on their main page, you may find potential customers clicking on your URL.<\/p>\n Contests are a great way to build a brand and draw traffic to your website. Even if you can only afford to give away $20, this is an awesome way to have fun and have new faces find your site. With the contest, be creative! You can do something over Twitter, Facebook or even something right on your page.<\/p>\n Getting interviewed by a popular media outlet can draw thousands of eyes to your website. If you don\u2019t know how to reach a journalist, it actually isn\u2019t that hard. HARO, also known as Help A Reporter is a great way to get on a daily newsletter that connects people like you and I to big name reporters.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/delhicourses.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/blog-promotion-1.jpg\")
