Around 75% of internet<\/a> users say they never click past the first page of search results!<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/p>\n

If your business is on the second page, it won\u2019t have a chance of getting the traffic you need. Improving your search ranking on Google and other search engines is the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

Two effective strategies to build your backlink profile are guest posts and niche edits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Guest Post \u2013 What this Link Building Strategy is all about<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Guest posts refer to written content containing a link back to your target URL.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These posts are targeted and relevant to your niche. They allow you to control keywords in the article title, and because of this, they tend to see significant traffic.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question about the effectiveness of guest posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They improve your traffic and benefit the sites that publish them. They require time to write the content and can take a while to gain momentum, but once the posts start driving traffic to your site, they continue to generate traffic for a long time.<\/p>\n

Guest posts also offer a sort of quid pro quo, as you are benefitting from the traffic and backlinks, and the owner of the site is getting additional content.<\/p>\n

The main problem with guest posting is that one post is not enough. It takes over some time to make an impact, and the time involved in creating that much content does not make for good ROI unless you are willing to put in the hours and money to develop dozens of posts in a short time.<\/p>\n

For many businesses, this is not an option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Niche Edits or Curated Links \u2013 The New Popular Link Building Acquisition Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Niche edits<\/a> links to your website from existing content on other sites within your niche. This strategy involves adding backlinks<\/a> to websites that already see steady traffic and are related to your business.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve become extremely popular because they\u2019re safer than PBNs and boost your backlinks from real, authentic, established websites and blogs that are already indexed and ranked by Google.<\/p>\n

Placing your links on established sites directs targeted traffic to your site.<\/p>\n

It is a safe, low-risk strategy, making niche edits<\/a> excellent for those who are new to SEO.<\/p>\n

Because you are only placing a link, website owners are more likely to agree to post it than an entire article, and it is cheaper than guest posting, so you\u2019ll get more bang for your buck. Even if you already have a solid SEO plan in place, adding niche edits can help improve your ranking and diversify your strategy.<\/p>\n

Are you looking for fast results?<\/p>\n

Once you place your niche edits, you\u2019ll generally start seeing results within days.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s walk through this example:<\/p>\n

Before making edits, your website is ranked 30th on Google search. You make the niche edits on a handful of authority sites that have real, steady traffic within your niche, and within a couple of weeks, you\u2019ll see your website on the first page of search results.<\/p>\n

To create a niche link, you\u2019ll first need to select your target URL \u2013 generally your homepage or a targeted campaign page \u2013 and your anchor text.<\/p>\n

Next,<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to find relevant websites or blogs where you want to insert your link<\/a> and contact the owner.<\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re reaching out to the right sites by asking yourself:<\/p>\n
