Simple, practical advice for earning quality links
No schemes. No spam. Just a handful of free tactics you can apply today to build authority the right way.
Quick wins
1) Fix unlinked brand mentions
Search your brand and product names. If someone mentioned you without a link, politely ask for one. Provide the exact URL and suggested anchor.
2) Refresh and republish
Update your best guides with fresh data, examples, and images. Then outreach to people who linked to similar resources—offer your updated version.
3) Build references
Create assets people cite: calculators, templates, industry stats, or checklists. Keep them genuinely useful and easy to embed.
4) Local/link intersections
Sponsor meetups or contribute talks/workshops. Ask for links from event pages, recaps, and partner listings.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Buying links or participating in obvious link schemes.
- Pointing every link to the homepage—deep link to relevant pages.
- Using the same exact‑match anchor repeatedly. Vary it naturally.
- Ignoring internal links. They’re your easiest authority lever.
