5 Ways to Use Blogs for Link Building

When blogs were initially started, they were supposed to be personal diaries of individuals maintaining them. But as the technology evolved, blogs becomes one of few early platforms following web 2.0 technology. And these days' blogs are used for many motives like personal diaries, professional blogs and for promoting our main websites and services. Today's article is about using them for building lots of quality backlinks for our websites home and internal pages. Here are my top 10 ways to use blogs for doing massive link building our websites:

1. Create Blogs

So it's a good idea to create some blogs on popular platforms that gives free blog creation facility. Some of popular platforms that allows creation of free blogs are blogger.com, wordpress.com, thoughts.com, livejournal.com and weebly.com. So you have to create blogs specific to your website niche on these blogging platforms and update them with fresh and unique content. You should link back to your website home and internal pages with targeted keywords within your blog posts. This way, you will be able to create lots of high quality contextual backlinks for your website from these blogging websites.

2. Do Guest Blogging

Concept of guest blogging is getting popular day by day. But still it's limited to technology blogs, I rarely see usage of guest blogging on other industries like health, travel, education etc. Basic idea behind guest blogging is, creating a list of popular blogs in your niche with their contact details. Now approach these bloggers with your guest posts. Mostly bloggers will accept your guest post if they are of high quality and relevant to their topics, they are covering on their blogs. Acceptance of a guest post means, you will be receiving some quality backlinks for your website from that guest post.

3. Blog Commenting

Few months back, we only talk about dofollow blog commenting. But these days, seo and link builders are not worrying much about dofollow or nofollow blog commenting, because these days Google seems to be giving some weight age to nofollow links on related domains. So the idea behind blog commenting is gathering a list of popular blogs in your niche and start leaving comments with valuable information on them. Please don't try to spam blogs for the sake of few links. Most of bloggers keeps their comments moderated, so the blog owner will read whatever you write in your comment. So you should be leaving a good impression for your website in the eyes of blog owners. If you are adding a valuable comments on blogs, they will surely be approved by blog owners and thus lots of valuable links for your website from blog commenting activities.

4. Do Blogroll Exchange

Get in touch with some popular blogger in your niche and approach them for blogroll exchange. If you have decent website, there is every chance, they will love doing blogroll exchange with your website. Blogroll links are used to be available on all pages of a blog, so you can gather thousands of links from a single blog even if it is a blog with thousands of pages cached in search engines.

5. Do Links Exchange within Content

It is again calling other bloggers in your niche and asking links for your website from their current or future posts. And return, you will be giving similar benefits to those bloggers from your website articles or blog posts. Are you able to do link building using blogs in different ways apart from what I mentioned above, please share them in the comments section below so that other members in the community can also get benefit.
