Link building is a mental game.

Do you agree?

I show you what I mean.

You need traffic for your website and link building is an important aspect of search engine optimization (SEO) that can help increase the visibility of your website on search engines.

It involves acquiring hyperlinks from other websites to your own website, blog, webshop or whatever platform you are using. That means, that your visitors can find your website from another website.

When combined with strong technical SEO foundations, great on-page SEO, excellent content, and a good user experience, link building can be super effective at driving more organic traffic and that is what you need.

Here are some popular link building strategies that you can use to build links to your website.

1/ First is the Content marketing: Creating high-quality content that other websites would want to link to, would want to use as a source. But, at the beginning, you still will have the problem, that your readers must find you somehow. And that can be tricky, trust me.

2./You also can use Email outreach: Reaching out to other websites and asking them to link to your website. Be careful with this one as being reported as a scam can cause more harm than good.

3./Broken link search and building: Finding broken links on other websites and offering your own website as a replacement can be effective as well.

4./Unlinked brand mentions: Finding mentions of your brand on other websites that do not link to your website and asking them to add a link. They will probably agree as they are already mentioning you anyway.

5./The classics: Social media platforms. Don’t forget and underestimate the force of this classic tools. Use Pinterest, Facebook, or any other platforms to link your content and drive traffic to your website, blog, webshop.
