Link building

Link building for better site optimization step by step: How to get a link profile that leads to high rankings for your most important keywords?

Getting a good backlink profile that leads to high rankings can be very difficult. This article shows you step-by-step how to build a backlink profile that will get your website on the first page of results for your most important keywords.

     Step 1: Find the most important sites

Finding the most important sites is easy. Make a list of the 10 most important keywords that you want to be found for. Don't use the keywords you currently get the most traffic from, but the keywords you want to rank for in the future.

Then search Google for those keywords and write down the pages that are listed in the top 10 results for those keywords. If you do this for 10 keywords, you will have a list of 100 web pages.

It would be perfect if these 100 web pages were ready to link to your site. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case. That's why you need to move on to the next step.

     Step 2: Get links from pages that link to the best sites

Instead of getting links from top ranked sites, try to get links from web pages that link to top ranked sites. This is often much easier. Sites that link to top ranked sites have proven willing to link to other sites.

If your site is similar to those top-ranked sites, or if it is a direct competitor, it is likely that all of its linked sites will also link to your site:

     1. Enter the domain of the top ranking pages into OpenLinkProfiler.
     2. Add the linked pages to the link manager.
     3. Contact websites and ask them to link to your site.

Quite often it happens that this method leads to very good results. You may even get better results if you acquire links as described in step 3.

     Step 3: Get links from pages linked by top sites

If you get links from pages that are linked by top-ranking pages, you will also indirectly benefit from the link strength of those pages that currently have the best rankings for your target keywords.

Links from these sites show search engines that your site is relevant to a given topic. This increases the chances that your website will be included in the search results for those keywords.

     1. Visit the top ranked sites and check the web pages they link to.
     2. Add those pages to the link manager.
     3. Contact websites and ask them to link to your site.

Of course, these second-degree links are not as valuable as direct links from top-ranking sites. However, they are very valuable and probably much more valuable than many other links you can find.

If you follow these three steps, it's likely that your web pages will soon be ranking for your most important keywords.

Don't forget that your linked web pages must also contain these keywords. Although good backlinks are a very important factor in the ranking algorithm, it is also very important that the content of your web pages is related to your keywords.
