MAINTAIN A STEADY BLOG WITH GREAT CONTENT .
Consistently creating great blog content that people naturally want to link to is one of the most tried and true ways to organically generate inbound links .
CREATE COMPELLING INFOGRAPHICS .
People absolutely love to share infographics . If you create an original infographic yourself, people will link back to you as the original source .
LINK TO OTHER BLOGS ON YOUR BLOG .
A blog is meant to be a social tool . The more you link to others — especially when you do it in a consistent , opportunity-driven way — the greater likelihood one of those bloggers will return the favor .
WRITE GUEST BLOG POSTS .
Write a guest blog post , and shop it around to blog’s it’d be a good fit for . If one accepts , they should be willing to give you an inbound link in the post .
CURATE AND PUBLISH HELPFUL RESOURCE LISTS .
Resource lists are both great link bait and helpful content for your readers . If you create a comprehensive resource list , it’ll be easy for other bloggers to link to it in their own posts instead of rehashing and curating all that content themselves .
DO EXPERT ROUNDUPS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS .
Expert roundups can be a great tool for building relationships with influencers . While these roundups may not get you a lot of links or leads right away , building relationships with influencers will help you get solid backlinks from authoritative sources down the line .
SEARCH FOR AND MONITOR MENTIONS OF YOUR BRAND .
Contact webmasters about turning those mentions into inbound links , but only when it’s warranted — like when they’re citing data of yours , for example . This is a tactic called “link reclamation.”
HELP ANOTHER WEBMASTER FIX AN ERROR ON THEIR SITE .
When you find broken links on other sites , let them know ( politely , of course ) , and provide them with a piece of your own content that will be a suitable replacement for that broken link .
