To reach the top of the rankings, one has to receive an authority. The meaning of authority is to get quality links (links from high authority websites) from a lot of websites.  The amount of backlinks you need for a particular keywords, depends on the competition. In order to receive a lot of backlinks, you need to build links. The process of link building is a bit time consuming and a lot of work needs to be done to get backlinks to your website.

This article will focus on the various techniques which will help in Link Building :

In-linking

In-linking is a easiest possible way to start link building. Each page of a website is taken as a single entity and linking pages to each other will help in increasing the number of backlinks and also the page authority or page rank.

In-Linking doesn’t mean, linking to every random page , but it should link to relevant pages. A tool which can help is publishing related posts using Yet Another Relates Posts Plugin (YARRP). Other than that you should make a habit to link articles to particular keywords for example If I have an article on social media icons and If I am targeting the Keword “Icons” then I will link to the article whenever I use the keyword “Icons” in any post.

To automate In-linking in wordpress you can use SEO Smart Links. This plugin automatically links to articles when it find specific keywords in an article.

Guest Posting

Another novel technique to build quality links is by guest posting at authority Websites. Guest posting not only helps in building an online presence but it also helps in getting keyword rich links to your website.

Dofollow forums

Being an active member of forums like Digital Point Forum can be useful in two ways. First, it will help in building relations with others and secondly, it will help in building backlinks through the forum signatures (which are dofollow and appear everytime you post or reply on a thread).
