What journalists, freelance writers, and more experienced bloggers need are current statistics, original graphics, and thought leader insights.
So if you want sites — and especially the largest sites — to link to you, give them what they want.
Choose a Trending Topic
If you want your content to be evergreen, choose a trending topic that will be popular for years to come — not just right now.
Offer multiple different and highly interesting angles to give the writers ideas on why they will want to include you in their new content or add you to existing, ranking content they’re upgrading.
Current Statistics
There probably won’t be much volume on keyword phrases related to “your niche + statistics” but that doesn’t matter.
People searching for stats write for large publications that can get your brand seen and possibly provide you with a valuable incoming link.
Sources for statistics should be (but aren’t always) attributed and linked.
Date your content and cite your sources. If writers find statistics they would like to use but cannot easily find the source or tell whether they are current, they will leave and find another site to link to instead of yours!
Original Graphics with Permission to Republish
Take your industry statistics and create original, SEO-optimized infographics and you could land a lot of targeted incoming links. The more current and colorful the image, the better.
Dark backgrounds are typically better because most sites have light content areas. Create shorter versions as well as long infographics as some sites prefer those.
If you only want to make one image, have sections with clearly defined horizontal boundaries so they can screen capture and use individual sections.
Be sure to make it obvious the writer is welcome to republish your graphics. Do this by offering an embed code, or providing text at the bottom of the content giving express permission for re-use.
You can also include that type of information on a page on your site. Once writers identify a site that permits republication of their research and graphics, they will specifically search that site for material for future content.
Thought Leader Sound Bites for Quotes
Include short, insightful quotes in your content, especially from your founder and C-suite executives. If you’d like to garner more incoming links and mentions, regularly add sound bites on current topics to your content.
When a journalist needs to meet a deadline, they can’t always reach a thought leader in time. Put what they are likely to need where they can find it, ideally on your site (so it gets the link or mention).
PR Daily reported that 83% of journalists use Twitter, but most still want email pitches.
Sites that are fed into Google News often choose to tie a new story into an existing trending story within 24 hours. Unless the topic is so hot that there will be multiple stories, they need it now. Be the brand that delivers it.
How to Attract Organic Links
Here’s an example of an infographic from NowSourcing that has all the factors I mentioned above:
- Hot topic that will be trending for years to come
- Offer interesting angles
- An infographic with clearly defined horizontal sections
- Current statistics
- Colorful headers for each section
- Quotable soundbites
This is going to be a popular topic now and for many years. As a writer who contributes on multiple sites, I could easily use all or part of this infographic in many different topics for several sites.
If I were doing a post about The History and Future of the Gig Economy, I could use just the top section of the infographic:
I often use a section of an infographic for the featured image in content and then include the full infographic at the bottom. Or I might use just that one section and link it to the infographic as I’ve done here.
A writer could create subheadings about sections of the full infographic below and then put each section of the image with their own text to make it more interesting.
Another benefit of doing that is being able to push each image out to social media separately. So you can promote your content more heavily without annoying your followers.
Offer Ideation (Ideas for Writers to Use)
Scroll through the infographic below. Notice that each section would make a great post title:
- Is Gig Work Really New?
- Moving Work to the Web
- There are Apps for GigWorkers
- Gig Work Today: Who Chooses Gig Work
- How Do Gig Workers Use Their Extra Income?
- What Gig Work Means for the Economy
- Economy of the Future: Gig Work
- How Gig Work is Reshaping the Law
- The Rights of Gig Workers: Contractor vs. Employee
Not much thought was required to turn their sections into new pieces of content with a ready-made image to fit in it. See how they did the work for the writer?
I could do an entire series just on that one infographic. A person could even launch an entire new site with these topics!
Ready to Go Attract Organic Links?
Hopefully, you can see how GigWorker and NowSourcing managed to hand writers everything they need to craft great content and include them in it.
Granted that Brian Wallace at NowSourcing has over a decade of experience in how to do the research and come up with the topics. So he has an advantage.
But you can do this, too. It just takes some thought and creativity.
Questions? Ideas? Ask them in the comments.

Thank you very must for this great article which help me to create content
Thanks Gail for such an informative post. I will definitely use your advice to attract traffic to my website. Thank you for your time posting this blog.
Yes with trending and quality content you can attract more & natural backlinks without investing. My question is that does we can get such type of backlinks with video content? if yes! then how?
I am still here for your reply.
Hi Teerath,
Videos are more likely to rank in Google so they have a better chance to get embedded in content others publish. Two tips for getting your videos chosen:
1) Grab their attention immediately. If your videos have long rambling introductions, writers are not going to choose them to add to content.
2) Don’t make it a commercial. Provide value and maybe have a clear, brief call-to-action (CTA) at the end. If there is too much self-promotion in it, we can’t include it in content we submit on large sites.

Thank you it really helps.
You told me that How to get video content promoted. But what about the backlink for the website? Because if someone embeds your video in their content then why should they include a backlink as well?
Hi Teerath,
You don’t always get both a link and a video. But the video embed can take them to your YouTube channel (or other video hosting site). And there, in the description, you should link to your own site and/or related content.
Link value flows from site to site. So it would flow from the video, to YouTube (or other video site), on to your site.
Yes, the link would probably be NF, but it should still have value. No one really knows which links are more valuable than others as it is extremely difficult to test — and while you’re testing, the algorithms just keep changing.

Cara Berkeley would love you to read ..The Crappy and The Magical: Learning How to Embrace Life
Hi Cara,
Here’s how to use embed codes if you’re using WordPress with the Classic Editor plugin installed:
First, find the code. Then put some text in your content where you want the content to go. It can be anything: HERE or asdf or whatever. Remember what you use.
Switch to the TEXT tab in WordPress (assuming you’re using WordPress) and search for the text you used. Highlight it and paste the embed code over it.
Then switch back to the “VISUAL” tab to continue writing your content. You can add embed codes anywhere in your text.
If you’re using something else, you have to be able to get to the HTML code, find where you want the embed to go, and paste it in there.
People using WordPress Gutenberg are on their own. There is probably a block for that, but I hate blocks so I can’t help you with how that works.

Google is closely monitoring PBN and buy or sell links these days. The only way to make high-quality backlinks is to attract organic links through content or mentions.

You made mention of Hot topic that will be trending for years to come
Please how do I go about that
An easy way would be to search for “hot trends for 2020”. Then think about how many years it will take for those to actually be fully rolled out. That will give you an idea how long a trend will remain a hot topic.
For example, it will be years before smart homes become commonplace across the country or world. Some are opposed to all smart technology while others can’t wait to get more and more of it.
That tells us that smart homes and all the devices involved will be hot topics trending for probably a decade or longer. I watch to see what is coming, but I will never have any smart device in my home. Here’s why:
Another way you know how long something will trend is that mainstream media which controls most of what is published will tell you.
Time published What Will Smart Homes Look Like 10 Years From Now? so you know they plan to still be talking about it at least that long.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I haven’t looked at the Exploding Topics tool, yet. I’ll have to remember to do that. Some trending topics can definitely be as evergreen as any other topic.

Thank you, Dhruv. I would appreciate not having to edit out one of the links in your comments. The two I allow are generous enough. While I do have an international readership, I would think that most people who read Hindi also read English.
Most readers from other countries won’t be able to read Hindi.

Hi Jeff,
Going forward, I’m encouraging people to focus on quality to attract links. Actually, I’ve been doing that for years, I wrote Quantity Equals Failure. Success Focuses on Quality! in 2011.
But there are still people publishing total crap for links. That makes zero sense to me unless they’re building their own backlinks from other total crap. And that could be what they’re doing.

I think “evergreen content” and “trending topics” are opposites. Trends come and go, whereas evergreen content is good for (potentially) forever.
Neither is right or wrong – trending topics tend to have higher returns on investment, whereas evergreen content (as its name suggests) lasts.

Hi Joe,
Sometimes trends don’t last long, but other times they trend for years. Take mobile responsiveness, for example. If you write about a trend that is short-lived, you aren’t going to get nearly the benefit of writing for something that is ramping up and will continue.
For example, smart homes aren’t going away anytime soon (although they should). A.I. is another topic that will be talked about for years as is crypto-currency.
