Link building as a creative endeavour?
If you remember using software or low cost labour to garner links by the thousands, the concept may be hard to wrap your head around. But with the old ways now discredited, a strong dose of creative thinking is vital to linkbuilding success.
Whatever the perceived status of links nowadays, remember that they still make up over half of the Google algorithm. That means linkbuilding is a must.
But how do you proceed in these risky times? Here are some creative ways to build links for today’s Sydney SEO world.
Creative Powerful Infographics
Infographics are exceedingly popular for their ability to display a lot of information in a way that’s fun and easy to access. It’s the ideal way to make complex data in your niche accessible to everyone.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Just unearth an existing graphic relevant for your niche or industry and revamp it just for your site. Just insert the link to the relevant page on your site into the embed code of the image. You can also contact those who linked to the original item and alert them of your new creation. They may well reward you with a backlink.
Quality infographics get shared fast and can help build your brand and reputation. But it doesn’t come easy. You need to work hard to create powerful images that inspire and inform.
