Link building is critical if you want to organically improve your website’s rankings. We could spend time guessing what could be “the next big thing” in link building strategies.
Instead, I am going to show you the top five link building strategies that are currently effective and should work even better in 2018.
Check out the top strategies below and leave your comments in the comment section. The five killer link-building strategies are:
- Internal Links
- Citations and Brand Mentions
- 2018 Jacking
- Blog Commenting
- Guest Blogging
So let’s get started.
Internal Links
Internal links are the most powerful link-building tactic you should use. Well-known websites are already using this strategy. For example, Wikipedia has strong internal links, and Wikipedia pages are in top positions for most generic terms.
What Are Internal Links and Why Are They Important?
Internal links take you from one page to another page within a website:
Image source: Advanced Web Ranking
In the above image, Link #1 is an internal link, i.e., a link from one page to another page within the website. Link #2 is an external link, which is a link to a page on a different domain. Link #2 takes you to Unsplash’s site to give credit for the image.
There are four reasons why internal links are important for your website:
- They help users to navigate websites.
- Internal links spread link juice and help you to rank better in search engines.
- Adding internal links boosts page views and improves usability through call to action anchor text.
- Smart internal linking helps search engine bots to easily crawl and index the deeper pages of the website.
Citations and Brand Mentions
We all know that building local citations is an essential building block in order to rank higher in the search results. Moreover, we all know how time-consuming it can be to create citations manually.
A local citation is the combination of the three terms nicknamed “NAP”: name, address, and phone number.
Benefits of Local Citations
There are a number of benefits to local business citations when it comes to local SEO rankings. Local listings:
- Can appear on the first page of local search results.
- Give you qualified leads and help to improve your rankings.
- Help you beat your local competition.
- Improve your visibility on major local search results.
- Increase traffic to your business.
- With local citations, you can easily attract new customers.
To find local citations sources, you can head over to this comprehensive list of 160+ Business Listing Sites with High Domain Authority (DA)
You can also find city-specific and keyword-specific citation sources by using the following commands.
City-Specific Citations:
- (city) business listings
- (city) business directory
- (city) directory
Keyword-Specific citations:
- (keyword) business listings
- (keyword) business directory
- (keyword) directory
Brand Mentions
Brand mentions are the future of link building. Brand mentions are when someone refers your product or services to others via his/her blog or website.
Google has made it clear, being mentioned by others is the only way to do SEO properly.
Head over to a nicely written post on How to Increase Your Rankings by Building Brand Mentions by Neil Patel.
2018 Jacking
Users always prefer to check the latest and most updated post. So add the current year or add some call to action terms to your content titles. By doing so, you can maximize your chances of hitting the first page results in search engines.
Suppose we have two posts with the following titles:
- “5 Link Building Strategies to Focus on in 2017”
- “5 Link Building Strategies to Focus on in 2018”
It is obvious that users will give preference to the post with the most recent date in the title. Also, use the following phrases (call to action terms) in your post titles. Do not forget to add “2018.”
- Top
- Discover
- Free
- Get
- Try
- Greatest
- Fastest
- Newest
- Oldest
- Most Expensive
- Easiest
- Unbelievable
- Best
Blog Commenting
There are many ways to build links. Building links from blog comments is one of the easiest ways, but it is also very time-consuming.
To find quality blogs, you can use the following advanced Google operators:
- “add new comment” + “your keyword here”
- “leave a comment” + “your keyword here”
- “leave a reply” + “your keyword here”
- “post a comment” + “your keyword here”
- “your keyword here” + “leave a comment”
- “your keyword here” + “comment here”
- “your keyword here” + “add comment”
- “powered by WordPress” + “your keyword here”
- “your keyword here” + “you may use these HTML tags and attributes”
- “your keyword here” + “post a comment”
- “notify me of follow-up comments ”
- “your keyword here” + “notify me of new posts”
- “comments on this entry”
- “sign in to comment on this entry”
- “log in or register to post comments”
- “you must be registered and logged in to leave comments”
- “this blog uses premium CommentLuv”
Head over to this post if you want to know more about how to do the blog comments in the right way: 11 Powerful Link Building Techniques to Gain the Most Engagement
Blog comment links are very effective, and some of the blog commenting benefits are:
- Some blogs have a high domain authority (DA) score, and a high DA benefits your search engine ranking.
- Even if a blog backlink is nofollow, the search engines will still find and index your website. More importantly, consistently commenting will improve visibility, establish credibility, and build your relationships with bloggers.
Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is one of the most powerful ways of driving quality traffic, building brand recognition, and getting exposure for your site.
I frequently pitch guest blogs on top sites such as SEMrush, Advanced Web Ranking, DZone, Template Monster, Upwork, SiteProNews and YourStory. In fact, I get custom author profiles and backlinks to my site from all these sites.
The 5 Real Benefits of Guest Blogging
- By doing guest blogs on high authority sites, you will get natural backlinks that will not hurt your website or blog.
- Guest blogging is one of the major sources of quality traffic and increased exposure.
- Building relationships is very important in digital marketing. Guest blogging helps you build strong relationships with your audience.
- Guest blogs on top sites, such as SEMrush and Template Monster, help you capture a broader audience.
- Guest blogging helps you to discover better business opportunities.
Key Points to Consider When Guest Blogging
- Do not waste your time on websites with low domain authority (DA).
- Always consider websites that have a high social follower/following ratio.
Check out this List of 180 websites that accept guest posts.
Link Building Strategies: Conclusion
Link building is crucial to any SEO campaign. Thankfully, we can still rely on a few link-building techniques that will work in 2018.
I hope you will implement all of these link building strategies in the right way so that you will move ahead of your competitors.

I notice your name becoming quite familiar with SEO searches Ashok. So allow me to congratulate you, well done. And as always another great post. Internal linking is crucial which is why I use an SEO plugin to suggest the best links. I still have to get into the Guest Posting side of back-link building. I do find commenting quite rewarding though with regard to visitors. But then it also requires quality content to inspire curiosity.
For comment back-link building my current favorites are Drop My Link and Put My Link. And I do prefer the CommentLuv enabled blogs. Also an excellent plugin for WordPress. I will be checking out your guest blogging suggestions, thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.

Gail Gardner would love you to read ..Minimizing Your Vulnerability to Online Security Risks
Hi Gail Gardner,
I already know how to do keyword research and I’m using KWFinder to get the keywords for those that hit the sweet spot of high search volume and low competition. It seems that it’s really hard to get relevant backlinks from authority sites because most of them require payment. Guest blogging also is not that effective as it was. Can you provide more in-depth strategies to get high-quality backlinks? It seems that I’m just wasting link building nowadays. You can visit my site: CRM Singapore
Hi Donnelly,
What people still don’t seem to understand is that if you want to attract high quality backlinks, you have to publish exceptional content. Sites don’t end up with backlinks because they want them – they end up with what is called “earned” media for a reason – because they EARNED them.
You earn backlinks by creating content so excellent that people will organically link to it. That means long-form, thought-leadership pieces, case studies, and including current statistics. The #1 reason for a writer to link to your site is as attribution for current statistics or excellent information not available elsewhere.
There is a reason that tools like SEMrush and people like Neil Patel suggest content lengths of 2400-2500 words. That is what it takes to outrank the best content that currently exists for the keyword phrase you’re hoping to rank.
For most businesses, that means they need to hire a professional writer and get at least one really exceptional piece of pillar content published on their site. And then promote it effectively using social media, online events, Twitter chats, into Facebook and LinkedIn groups, etc.
It won’t rank no matter how good it is to begin with so you have to get it in front of writers on major sites. You do that using social media, or advertising, or by reaching out to specific writers and building relationships with them.

Q? Should I focus on Quality or Quantity of backlinks?
Hi Vijay,
Hopefully, Ashok will also weigh in. In my opinion you should first focus on RELEVANCY and then QUALITY. Quantity, if necessary, must still be relevant and quality.

You could have the most amazing blog post, But if barely anyone is reading it, what is the point of having on your blog?. You have to promote the heck out of your blog post. High-quality content alone will not do the trick.
One of my best methods to promote my latest blog post and also get more engagement would be blog commenting. I do it a lot and I do it on blogs within my niche that are getting a good amount of traffic. It is key to make sure the blog where you are leaving comments gets good targeted traffic. Thank you so much for sharing such a informative article!

Hi Scott,
You mean getting links from Wikipedia? That is one strategy, but you need links from diverse sources. If you have Skype, you could add me and I can offer suggestions. My username on Skype (and everywhere) is growmap. That is the fastest.

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable post! I have question about blog commenting, those comment that are waiting for approval can still get link juice from a site? I want to try that strategy for my other sites, currently I’m using properpbn.com for my business sites. I just want to get more traffic for my sites.
Hi Nicholas,
No, comments that haven’t been approved would not have link juice – not that it matters since comments are almost always nofollow which means that theoretically, they never have any link juice.
Please note that using PBNs is considered black hat and likely to get a site penalized.

Hi, you forget one another strategy for backlinking.
Joining forums website is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get high-quality dofollow backlinks . There are plenty of forums on the internet that give dofollow backlinks that will surprisingly boost your site. But these forums have some rules you have to obey their rules.
Hi Nadeem, Yes forums are good but try to use them for building relationship not just for building link by adding the signatures.
Hi Ashok,
Great tips, it is well known that guest blogging is one of the most important parts of digital marketing strategy, but I would like to add that relevance plays a major role here as well. You shouldn’t write for the sites that are completely irrelevant to your niche as that can reduce the value of your link.
Once again, awesome post, thanks for sharing it! 🙂
Thank you so much Selena for your kind words. 🙂 you are absolutely right relevance plays important role in guest blog pitches. Before doing any guest blog check niche, DA, PA, Popularity etc.

Well, I found out that Guest Post is the best of them all. I have ranked few keywords in days with 5-10 guest posts.
No need to do tons of comment backlinks or forum postings, I don’t even know if they work now.
Guest post is good to gain quality traffic but the quality commenting and niche forums are also good to increase the quality links and both are god way to build relationships with your audience.

One of the good post regarding link building strategies. Actually, have any benefit in creating social profile links for SEO purposes. we have published an article about google drive space.
Hi Vimal,
It continues to amaze me that SEOs are not smart enough to stop reporting everything they do directly to Google using gmail, other email that is routed through Google, Google Drive Space, Google Suite – ANYTHING Google.
That is simply not a good thing to be doing. Google consistently decides what used to be ok is now “black hat”. By giving them detailed information about what you, your client, and sites are doing, you are setting them all up to be penalized or even deindexed in the future.
Their rep has already stated that he believes that links in guest posts should all be nofollowed. Other reps have said they need to be nofollowed if they’re “for link building” but not if they aren’t. Who gets to decide that? They do!
So even if you guest blog to increase your visibility and audience reach, they could decide that isn’t why you did it. See this post on SearchEngineLand Google: Guest Blogging For Links? You Better Nofollow Those Links.

I admit, Internal Links is definitely an effective strategy. It is always tempting to visit that underlined word to gain more information. However, putting too much of it in one article can also drive readers away.
My team from a BPO Philippines company called http://onehalf.com.au/ will definitely try those other strategies. Thank you for sharing, this has been a great help!
Cheers!
Yes, Internal link building is must for incredible results and Thanks for reading the post and I really appreciate your comments.
I noticed you also read Neil Patel’s blogs. I visit his site from time to time to keep up with the latest marketing and SEO strategies. He’s been a great help.
Jacking is a smart and easy way too. I can see that it works 2 ways; assist with the SEO and also helps you recycle those old blogs for when you get writer’s block. lol
Cheers!
Yes Neil’s blogs are good to read, and personally i loved his way of explaining the things. Jacking is one of my favorite and i always works.
Thanks for sharing your tips. I personally believe that commenting on blogs is one of the easiest ways of building backlinks. Somewhere you know you are reading what other bloggers have to say and share what you think about their ideas and tips. I am not an SEO though, the posts with tips pretty much help me understand the basics. At least there is something i can do myself without hiring someone by reading articles and following their tricks.cheers
