Underrated Link Building Tactics that Work Surprisingly Well

Underrated Link Building Tactics that Work Surprisingly Well Google seems to be updating ranking signals on a daily basis; one thing that hasn’t changed is the desire for link building tactics that work.

Boosting your page’s rankings on Google is vital for your brand: higher rankings can mean getting more traffic on your site, increase lead generation, and the like. One of the most reliable ways to rank well is the use of link building tactics.

Even with the latest changes in the algorithms, many digital marketers continue to rely on popular link building strategies like guest posting, broken link building, and skyscraper technique.

Guest posting involves the creation of original content for blogs or websites of industry thought leaders to earn links and additional traffic for your page. Broken link building is executed by reaching out to webmasters and site owners, offering to replace dead links with your own content with better quality.

Finally, the skyscraper technique is the process of updating and upgrading existing content with new and better-quality backlinks.

The reason these strategies remain popular is due to their ability to produce results consistently. However, because more industries and brands adopting digital marketing practices, site owners and webmasters alike are flooded with similar, templated requests, narrowing the chances of getting proposals accepted.
