Other Backlinking Strategies: Guest Blogging and Press Releases

Today I thought I’d mention some other backlinking and traffic generation techniques I’m planning to try. Although these are more time consuming than things like forum profile backlinks, I am hoping they’re more powerful and definitely more relevant.

Building Links Back to Individual Pages

Like I have said a few times recently, I’ve been writing longer articles and review posts in the hope that they’ll be more search engine friendly and attract visitors for more long tail keywords. The reviews are 1,000+ words, and include a lot of LSI keywords that I researched through various keyword tools. They also contain images and Amazon affiliate links within the text. These reviews are genuinely useful – they took a while to research!

Working Really, Really Hard

I meant to update more often this week but, as you can see from the title, I’ve been working really, really hard.

I rent a flat and my landlord has given us notice to leave (unfortunately they’re moving back in) so we have to find a new place. I’m trying to find a private landlord to avoid all the agency fees, but nothing’s come up yet. If we go with an agent we could be looking at lots of fees, plus other costs involved with moving and the deposit, it really is crazy. Unfortunately I just paid off a £1000 overdraft which I used a lot of my savings for!

Finally Starting to Market Properly

I’ve decided I really need to kickstart my marketing efforts. As I mentioned at the end of last week, I’ve been writing a lot of content for my blogs.I have about 15 blogs that I’m actively working on adding content to at the moment, and all of these are about two months old or less. The only marketing I’ve done for them is submitting the RSS feed and then maybe an Ezine Article and a UAW submission. This is because I wanted to focus on making sure they all had at least 20 posts to start (so much writing to do!)

Finding the Balance Between New Content and Marketing

If this new Google update (you’ve probably seen people talking about this everywhere, so I won’t go into detail now) has taught me anything it’s that I’m on the right track trying to get lots of content on all of my sites. It’s not easy, and I will admit I do feel nervous about my efforts paying off, but the key is to keep going and keep building my sites anyway.
