Some content generally performs better than others in particular video or infographics. These however arent the only methods you can use to get white hat backlinks. Guest Posts for white hat link building Guest posts are not the powerhouse they once were. The days of a free guest post are gone and everyone wants money for a post on their site. This turns them into a sponsored post which is against Googles terms of policy. Creating a high quality email template and sending it out usually leads to a pretty good response rate. Especially if you have created quality content in your niche. However most will want money back for the guest post which is once again against Googles policy. Just keep reaching out to new people and plugging away eventually you will find someone who likes your content and style. Broken Links If you are looking to gather backlinks to your website go in search of ones that are broken on other sites. Find broken links to posts that cover a topic similar to your website. Then create content for that broken link and contact the owner of the website. Hopefully they will slot you into the broken link and et voila new backlink for you. Writing a genuine email to the website owner is a must if you want this to succeed. You have just made someone aware of an issue on their website unless you can persuade them they will just the change. Unless your email and content is top notch then you dont have much of a chance. Engaging With Other Blogs Commenting on other blogs work in raising awareness of you and what you do in your niche. Use tools to find people creating content similar to yours and where their links are coming from. Most of these will be no-follow links but they all add up in the end.
