A link may not be guaranteed, but you are sure that you are promoting your website. At the end of the day, the goal is to spread the word and to inform the public about your website.

2. Connect with Your Audience.

In part 1, I suggested to build relationships and interact with the industry leaders. This time, I will remind you to do the same with your audience, friends, and to the people around your circle.

Try to connect with these people because they can bring more connections to you. A connection can be as simple as a social media interaction, an online endorsement or review. It can even be a referral to a blog post you published.

Remember, create blog post without spammy links. This is a sure way to ensure that you are reliable and that you are deserving of natural links. Building relationships may be an old marketing tactic, but it still works up to this day.

For you to earn a friend, you first have to be a friend to others. Same with links; you need to link other websites, and backlinks will just come naturally.
