When starting up a new link building campaign, there are two basic questions you should be considering :
1. What is unique about your site that others might want to link to?
2. Who might be interested in linking to you, and what information would be of use to them?
Gaining a good understanding of the answers to these questions is a fundamental starting point . It helps you gain an insite into the types of information that you may be able to offer the people in your space, or related spaces. It will very likely also highlight, extra contenmt that you may be able to provide, which will offer added value to your customers and potential customers.
Here are the five things that you should also think about when kicking off a new link campaign:
1. Start by identifying who the major media people are in the same space as you. At this stage dont’ be too concerned about their potential to link to you. This should form a complete list of traditional media, bloggers, government, school, and hobbyist sites that are related to your products/services.
2. Next prioritise the list ranging from top tier players to lower tier players. Links from from any of them will help, but getting a link from a top tier player is worth more effort.
3. Re-examine the current and potential content of your site to see how it matches up with the needs and interests of the top tier targets.
4. If necessary (and it usually is), put in place a content development plan to implement the right types of content to match up with the best targets. Several new articles may need to be written.
5. Begin the process of contacting your targets, and getting them interested in the unique cool content that you have.
Remember, good link building should always starts in the same place – Identifying the targets… Good Luck !
