Some effective ways for building backlinks

YouTube video

Having great content is seen as the best way to build links. There are many ways that you can build links and some of these ways are linked to content.

Controversy

Controversy link building is choosing one product, company or person and posting negatively about them.  It is recommended that you not use this as your only link building method.  The problem with this method is that over time users will start paying less attention to what you are saying.

Participate in the community

This is one of the best ways to get organic links.  This participation will show the community that you have something of worth to offer.  The best way to display your content is through answering questions within the community.

Original research

Newsletters and social media

Having a newsletter will drive more traffic to your content and increase the rate of conversion.  Participating on Twitter and Facebook also increases your exposure and the likelihood of organic links. You will need to determine where your target audience spends their time and spend time there.

Content lists
