Be Someone’s Guest

Guest blogging is another great way to score a link on someone else’s site, and if you get lucky enough to post on a blog that’s popular, that can mean a huge surge in traffic to your site. When you’re researching your guest-blogging efforts, be sure to identify blogs that are within your niche.

Once you do, get to know the blogger and what kind of posts he or she likes or links to. Then, draft a pitch (or an actual post) and send it to the blogger. Be clear and concise. Talk about your expertise and what you have to offer. If you get a spot on the blog as a guest, you’ll either get a link somewhere in the article (yeah, for choosing anchor text!) or in your byline.

Show Off Your Design Skills

If you have some awesome graphic design skills (or just a really great in-house designer), you can create something that’s visually interesting, and that gets you links. Infographics are becoming increasingly popular, and the ones that are well done often get shared virally. Post the infographic on your blog or Facebook page and encourage others to share the link to it. Cool stuff can spread fast.
