Loading ...Blogs can be a wonderful source of specifically-targeted inbound links. Still, some businesses tend to be picky when it comes to getting links from blogs. Inbound links are difficult enough to get without narrowing your focus in this way. A smart business will learn the signs of a good blog link.
A link from a popular blog in your chosen niche can net you great traffic, as well as boost your site’s SEO efforts. Spotting the best blogs to get links from is a matter of research.
1. Research search engine attraction factors. These include:
*The blog provides a reasonable number of links. Any site with too many links is suspect in the eyes of the search engines, and has less worth for your search engine optimization plan.
*The blog’s own inbound links are respectable. If the blog doesn’t have a particularly good-looking link profile, its own SEO could be in danger. This could threaten your link in the long term.
*The blog has a decent set of rankings. This is critical for its worth to your site’s search engine optimization. Getting a link from a high-ranking site is better than a low-ranking one. Talk to our experts at SEO Consult Australia about choosing the right links for a good profile.
2. Research content quality. The quality of the blog’s content has a lot of influence over the amount of user traffic you can expect. Look for:
*The blog has the sort of content you would be happy to feature. Let’s face it; there are a lot of horrible blogs out there. If the blog is in your niche, you’re likely to represent its ideal reader. Read through the content to assess the blog’s quality. If you don’t like it, it’s likely your target user group wouldn’t like it either.
*The blog is free of spam. There are thousands of blogs out there that simply feature stolen content. These blogs are of limited worth to your site, both for SEO and for your target users. Even if the blog has a decent ranking for now, it may not last.
*The blog has good connections. Just as the search engines judge your site by your inbound links, you should check out the links of any blog you’re considering approaching for a link. The industry connections of the blog should match up with the kinds of sites you approve of. A good way to judge is if the links the blog features are ones you would be happy to be linked to yourself.
Getting links from industry blogs isn’t all good news. Most of your link building will be focussed on building your link profile to directly contribute to your search engine optimisation efforts. Some blogs, however, place nofollows on some of their links, making them worthless for direct influence with the search engines. This doesn’t mean that these links are entirely worthless for your site, as they provide good internet marketing opportunities. Links from industry blogs provide enough targeted traffic for your internet marketing plan to prove a worthwhile endeavour.
