How do You Get Back-links: 9 Simple Tips and Tricks


Here I am again, fulfilling my promise to provide you with plenty of ideas to get back-links on your blog or website to increase your chances of being ranked higher in Google search and let other people find you quickly and easily. 

Without wasting much time, let's find out what these tricks are :

1. Complementary Business
Now for this you'll need to find some businesses that complement yours and suggest linking to your website to help their visitors. For example, if you sell books, contact another business that sells or supplies books or a blog that reviews books and discuss the possibility of linking to your website.
2. Offer a testimonial
If you use a product or service, write a simply great testimonial or review that would catch one's attention straight away, and of course, include a link. So you can write a wonderful testimonial of the blog that reviews books and send it to the blog site……along with your link!
3. Write a Glowing Review
If you write an article about some business, contact them and let them know you are posting it on your website and suggest they link to it.
4. Fill in the Blanks
Write a guest post adding useful content to an article on someone’s website. For example, if my blog talks all about ghostwriting, but has missed upon a valuable resource, you could provide that resource in a follow-up guest article on my blog.
5. Offer Free Software
Offer a software program for free that includes your link or create free software(can be easily created if you look up for some YouTube videos about it) that people will link to naturally.
6. Run a Contest
Run a contest that encourages people to link to or connect with your website. You could gift something like books or softwares or anything you can can afford to winners. Many large companies like Kiddicare would offer their subscribers a free pushchair wrth £300 if they liked their Facebook page. Thousands of people did helping them publicize and spread the word and only one actually received that pushchair. Great strategy!
7. Free Gift
Give away a gift to the first five or ten readers who like or comment on a product you are promoting. (Often the product manufacturer will donate these giveaways!)
8. Go Viral!
Create a video, an info-graphic, article, or other post that will spread quickly and create links to your content. A You-Tube Video would help too.
9. Create Your Own Back-links
If you have multiple websites, you can obviously create links using them. And, yes, don’t forget about internal linking.10. Do a Guest Post
Guest posting is simply writing a great article and posting it on someone else’s website. This allows you to come in contact with other readers and other bloggers. It increases traffic from their website to yours and you get the benefits of improving your search engine page ranking. Choose a website that gets lots of traffic on which to guest post. Simply contact the owner of the website and offer to write a guest post. Usually, they will only let you guest post if your content is useful to their readers. When selecting a website on which to guest post, make sure it’s a website that can help you reach your niche market.

Some Useful Back-link Tips
  • Always try to get a backlink using anchor text instead of one without anchor text.
  • At the same time it’s not good to be top-heavy with anchor text backlinks either.
  • You also need backlinks using your website URL, related keywords, and random text so it looks natural to search engines.
  • Don’t build backlinks vey quickly or it will appear unnatural to search engines like Google.
  • Backlinks from websites with high ranking on search engines are better than backlinks from websites with low rankings.
  • Backlinks from websites with products and services like yours are better than backlinks from unrelated websites.
  • Back-links from many, good quality, unique domains are better than several back-links from the same domain.
  • Backlinks located within the main web text, not in a sidebar, or footer, have more importance.
  • Backlinks included right at the top or the introductory portion of an article are far better than those at the end.

    I think that's enough for one day. If you've any questions or comments, don't hesitate to get back to me. See you next time with some more useful information!

8 Reasons Why You Should Become a Ghostwriter

Despite having published under my own name, I prefer being a ghostwriter. While ghostwriting is not everyone's cup of tea, it just seems to work perfectly for me. The reasons?  1 . Ghostwriting Pays Well Ghostwriting is a lucrative niche . One of the best things about ghostwriting is that you get paid a handsome amount for it. And you get paid upfront. You don't have to wait to write, publish and then market your book to make any money out of it.    At Ghostwriters' World, I offer other writing services such as copywriting but ghostwriting undoubtedly pays the best. You just have to find the right clients- the ones who will pay you well. 2. You Have to do Less Homework Often your clients will have brilliant ideas and stories that they would want you to work on. This means you would not have to start from scratch. You don't have to come up with your own ideas and voice. You would have an outline or plot to begin with so you'll have to do less homewo

The Dark Side of Freelancing You Were Never Told About

If you've been reading my blogs, you know I am always encouraging everyone to work from home. I've been sharing my experience of working as a freelance writer here with you. As I have worked from home as a freelance content writer and ghostwriter for the last 10 years of my life, I seem to know the ins and outs of this area well, if I dare say so myself.   Yes, I admit it. I've absolutely loved the challenges of freelancing so far. It has seemed to fit in so well around my family and home. In my previous posts I've bragged about how comfortably I make a living from my couch by just using my laptop. I've talked about how amazingly I have managed to create a healthy work-life balance ....But sorry, guys! Today is not one of those days. Today I'll reveal an honest yet brutal truth of my life. I suffer from something called 'Work At Home Mom Depression' (WAHMD). And before you try to Google the term, I'll tell you it's what I just made up. B
