We have already optimized our blog to rank well for specific target keywords, but unfortunately, this only has a minor impact on your overall ranking. Nevertheless, don’t overlook this step; every little bit contributes to your competitiveness in search engine rankings!
Off-Page Search Engine Optimization
Now, let’s shift our focus to off-page search engine optimization. This refers to factors outside your blog that significantly influence your search engine rankings. There are many off-page factors to consider, and we will examine them one by one. The first and most obvious factor is the number of links pointing to your blog.
As a general rule, the more links you have, the more search engines perceive you as an authority in your niche, which can lead to higher rankings. However, it’s essential to pay attention to the quality of these links. For instance, having a thousand links from unrelated sites, such as online dating platforms, won’t benefit your tech blog at all.
The most cost-effective way to obtain high-quality links from authoritative websites is to simply ask for them. If your blog features original, high-quality content that offers valuable insights to readers, there’s a good chance that webmasters will link to your blog or even write about it!
Now, let’s discuss how to approach these authoritative webmasters for a link to your blog. This advice assumes that your blog is rich in content and provides valuable information relevant to your niche or topic. The best approach is to send a direct email to the webmaster.
First, identify the top sites in your niche. You can do this by searching major search engines for your target term. For example, if we search for “technological gadgets,” we might find results like www.t3.co.uk and www.acarplace.com/brands/gm/gadgets.html. However, keep in mind that these are commercial sites, so don’t...
Please refrain from asking. We are seeking community-oriented websites and blogs that are more welcoming to newcomers like you. It seems that www.gizmodo.com could be a great choice!
To proceed, draft an email to the webmaster of www.gizmodo.com (you can find their email address on the site). They also provide an AIM contact, which is a good option if you use AOL Instant Messenger. Begin by mentioning how you discovered their site (for example, “I was searching for gadget information,” rather than “I’m looking for link partners!”) and express your appreciation for the valuable information they offer. Be sure to share genuine praise about their site.
Next, propose that certain content from your blog would nicely complement their offerings, and vice versa. Include a link to their site on your blog and subtly inquire if they might consider doing the same to foster a mutually beneficial relationship between your blog and theirs.
Keep in mind that some people may not respond to your email.
