1. The skyscraper technique
This is a method that was developed by online marketing experts and it has been used more and more the last few years to get more backlinks. So how is it done? This is method has 3 steps
Step 1: Find a good piece of content that has a ton of links pointing to it.
Step 2: Next you need to create a piece of content that is better, or more valuable, than that one and publish it on your website.
Step 3: Lastly, contact those who link to the original piece of content and ask them if they would rather link to your higher quality piece of content, instead. Some will!
2. Create infographics
This is one of the more popular ways to build backlinks. The reason for this is that infographics are easy to understand and share.
- To do this, you will need to find an appropriate topic in your field, perhaps a trending topic, gather the data, and find someone to make this data visually appealing.
- This is important but be sure to include links to your website in the infographic.
- The moment you create the infographic, add it to your website and your social media accounts, where it will likely be shared.
3. Write guest articles
When you create articles to place on other websites, you get to put your content in front of a new audience. This increases the exposure to your own website.
This method is good not only for creating that important backlink but can also increase your own reputation and social media following.

7. The broken-link method
This method involves contacting a webmaster to report broken links on their website. While doing this, you suggest adding a link to your own website.
As you are helping the webmaster by finding this broken link, the chances of them replacing the link with your own or adding one of yours will be quite high.
Peruse quality websites in your field, so any added links will be from other experts in your industry, resulting in a high-quality link.
8. Spy on your competitors
When you spy on your competitors, you’ll get a better idea of what content they’re creating and the backlinks that they’re building. You can then make better content on the same topics and acquire backlinks from many of the same websites that link to your competitor.
9. Promote your content
In life sometimes the best approach to building backlinks is to approach website owners yourself via email. One easy way to gain a backlink is to find those that create weekly or monthly roundup posts. You can then email these people links to your best guides and ask them to add them to their latest roundup article.
If you struggle to find the email address of the webmaster, check out their social media profiles. Also, LinkedIn is always a good place for professional contacts.
Conclusion
To conclude, building backlinks can be a challenge but using these strategies will certainly help you to build the quality backlinks you seek.
