I’m struggling to get backlinks for my blog. I’ve heard that posting guest articles on competing blogs is one of the best ways to do it, but most opportunities I find only allow nofollow links, which don’t help with SEO. I’ve found a few forums where I can post and link back in my profile, but these haven’t significantly boosted my backlink profile.
I don’t think you should concentrate on that. Creating excellent content should be your first priority when starting a blog so that others will want to link to it later.
My goal is to write valuable information. After editing, the content is typically between three and five thousand words long. I do extensive research on the topic and strive to address readers’ concerns. However, I know that building backlinks is the best strategy to increase readers more quickly.
The emphasis should be on more than just creating excellent content, particularly if you want quick search traffic. The emphasis should also be on creating content for fair search traffic keywords and themes with little competition.
There are some Facebook groups where people will let you write on their blog but they are low value for the most part. Outreaching is probably the best way to go but it’s time consuming. You can look for blogs that allow guest post. You might also receive some link building proposal when you get more traffic.
