How to Get High Quality Backlinks in 2024 (13 Proven Strategies)

SEO is getting harder every year with evolving Google search algorithms. One thing thatโ€™s constant in SEO is backlinks.

Google still rewards websites that have a strong backlink profile. This is because Google considers quality backlinks as votes of confidence. Generally, the higher the number of quality backlinks a website has, the more credible it is considered.

Benefits of high-quality backlinks include;

  • Better website rankings
  • Stronger domain authority
  • More visibility for the keywords you target 
  • Backlinks often help you attract more organic traffic

While building links is extremely important, it’s important to focus on building high-quality backlinks from authority websites. 

So, in this post, weโ€™ll discuss the most effective ways to build quality backlinks for your website in 2024.

What Are Quality Backlinks?

Quality backlinks are links that point to your site from other reputed websites in your industry. 

Here are three things that make a backlink “quality”:

  1. Relevance: The website linking to your site should be highly relevant to your niche. For example, if you have a website about SEO, a backlink from a popular SEO blog like Semrush would be considered relevant.
  2. Authority: The website linking to yours should have a good domain authority (anything above 70 or 80). These high-authority domains usually have a strong backlink profile.
  3. Trustworthiness: The website linking to yours should have a solid reputation. You can consider various factors, such as its domain age, content quality, overall link profile, and website traffic.

Whenever youโ€™re trying to build links, focus on high-quality backlinks, as they can improve your overall siteโ€™s traffic and authority. Low-quality backlinks, on the other hand, can damage your siteโ€™s authority and prevent your site from getting better search rankings.


Types of Backlinks

backlink types

So both the do-follow and no-follow links are essential.

If you are only building do-follow links, thatโ€™s the surefire way to get penalized by Google algorithms. So make sure to spend your time and efforts on creating both types of links.


How to Get High Quality Backlinks in 2024?

1. Guest Posting is NOT Dead

As most people think guest posting is not really dead. There are a ton of influential bloggers who are still writing guest posts for a reason: because guest posting works.

Guest posting has its own benefits including;

  • The ability to build high quality and relevant links
  • Youโ€™ll be able to build relationships with other blog owners (and also through comments on your guest posts)
  • You can easily build and grow your email list
  • You can send traffic to your home page or any important pages on your sites easily by linking from your guest posts
  • And the list goes on and on

But hereโ€™s the thing: guest posting takes time and itโ€™s not easy!

You first need to know how to properly send email pitches if you want to guest post on authority sites in your industry.

Here are a few guest post link examples of BloggersPassion

We have been featured and guest-posted on a ton of authority blogs in our industry including Semrush.com, NeilPatel.com, HubSpot.com, and so on.

Hereโ€™s an example email pitch that we sent to the Problogger team when we reached out to them for the first time.

Hi,

I’m a huge fan of ProBlogger and I’ve been reading and implementing your stuff for a long time now.

I always wanted to contribute to ProBlogger and serve the readers. So after extensive research, I wrote a post titled “3 Growth Hacking Strategies for Bloggers to Quadruple Their Blog Traffic Without SEO” where I’ll be sharing a few proven ways to increase blog traffic quickly. It took me around 7 hours to finish this post.

I hope ProBlogger readers will definitely love it. Can I send you the attachment for the guest post?

Let me know what you think.

Best Regards,

Our Guest Post Example on ProBlogger.com

Whenever youโ€™re trying to send guest posting pitches to other bloggers (especially authority bloggers), keep your emails really short.

Here are a few things to remember about guest posts:

Write high quality content: If you want to guest post for authority sites, donโ€™t write mediocre content. Share your best content with them.

Spend quality time in research: Before you start your guest blogging journey, create a list of guest posting sites where you can publish your content. Spend time reading some of those blogs to see what type of content can attract more buzz. Thatโ€™s how you can come up with great topic ideas for your guest posts.


Get interviewed by other bloggers. There are so many bloggers (including experts) who often publish interviews of other bloggers in their industries.

If you are wondering what they look like, check out these links where I got interviewed by few famous bloggers.

As you can see, both the above-mentioned blogs are well-known in the blogging niche.

When you do a quick search for โ€œAnil Agarwal blogger interviewโ€, you will see lots of blogs and YouTube videos where Iโ€™m getting featured (which means more mentions and backlinks for my blog).

High quality backlinks through interviews

Getting interviewed by others is the best way to:

  • Attract highly relevant backlinks (mostly do-follow links)
  • Improve your personal brand
  • Get more traffic and exposure to your site
  • Acts as word-of-mouth publicity online
  • And the list goes on

So how to get interviewed by other bloggers in order to build backlinks?

One of the best ways to get interviewed by others is to reach out to them.

You should reach out to other bloggers to get interviewed especially when you donโ€™t have enough personal brand but great content or results on your blog.

Hereโ€™s how an example email pitch looks like;

email sample

As you can see above, one of the prominent bloggers recently emailed us the above pitch where he was asking to get interviewed. He also showed us why should we interview him on our blog BloggersPassion.

If you look at the above email pitch, which is short and also provides the reason for publishing the interview, we were glad to accept his email pitch. In fact, we sent him interview questions that he can answer.

Thatโ€™s how it works. He get the links and exposure from our site. In return, we are also publishing a useful piece of content on our site. So itโ€™s a win/win approach.

So now you know how to get interviewed by other bloggers to build quality links to your own site.


3. Through High Quality Content Creation

Out of all the link-building strategies that youโ€™re going to find in this post, creating content that naturally attracts links is the best way to build quality links.

Yes, you heard it right. Create content that attracts links naturally.

Did you know that, we attracted links organically from top publication sites like Forbes and Wikihow? Yes, thatโ€™s true.

Hereโ€™s the link to the post on Forbes where BloggersPassion got mentioned. We really didnโ€™t reach out to anyone to get that link as it came naturally.

BloggersPassion Backlink Example from Forbes

Hereโ€™s the link to the post WikiHow where one of the blog posts on BloggersPassion has been given reference.

wikihow link

As you can see above, WikiHow is another great site with a huge DA which used one of the blog posts from BloggersPassion as a reference by giving a link.

So what makes someone link to your content?

The simple answer is to create top-notch content. Thereโ€™s no other way around it.

And how to create content that naturally attracts links?

Letโ€™s now talk about a simple framework to create content that attracts organic links from other sites.

Come up with a great topic: To come up with great topics, you can use a few tools including;

  • Semrush (we often use Semrush for doing keyword research and thatโ€™s how we always find low-competitive yet highly profitable keyword ideas)
  • Quora (another great place where you can find lots of ideas for your blog posts)
  • Buzzsumo (just enter a topic on Buzzsumo and it will give you a list of highly popular blog posts in your industry)

Create in-depth content: Google often favors highly useful and informative content. So if you want to create content that attracts links naturally, you need to create detailed content with over 2000 words. Try to cover A to Z information about the topic youโ€™re writing about.

Frequently update: The final step of the content framework that we use to create high quality content that attracts backlinks from other sites is this: we often update our blog posts. We especially keep an eye on the best-performing blog posts, do keyword research, and update the content with the latest information.

Start using the Skyscraper technique

The easiest way to attract more high-authority backlinks to your own blogs is to write epic posts that naturally attract links from other blogs. How can you do that?

Thereโ€™s a proven strategy called the Skyscraper technique that helps you get quality links to your blogs with your own content.

Here are the 3 steps involved in it.

  1. Finding content that is popular in your industry.
  2. Making it better, detailed, compelling, and helpful.
  3. Promoting it to the right people to reach a wider audience.

Whether you know it or not, getting featured on roundup posts is the simplest way to build your authority as a blogger and also get useful links to your site.

The good thing is that there are so many bloggers who publish roundup posts on their blogs.

Hereโ€™s the example of roundup post where we have been featured on Huffington Post. Just have a look at this roundup post from HuffPost.

huff post link

As you can see above, Huffington Post is an incredibly high DA site that has featured me in one of their roundup posts on โ€œLinkedIn marketing strategyโ€.

Hereโ€™s another example of roundup post where BloggersPassion got featured on B2C

As you can see, both the above examples include roundup posts where we got links to the site BloggersPassion. Since both the above sites are authority sites which means, we generated high-quality backlinks (which increases the overall backlink profile of BloggersPassion in the long run).

So how to get featured on blogger roundup posts to get high-quality backlinks to your site in 2024 and beyond?

Be everywhere: This is a no-brainer. If you want to get featured on other blogger roundup posts, you should first get found online. Be everywhere. Donโ€™t spend time only on your blog as itโ€™s a huge mistake. You should go out, network, and engage with other bloggers to get found online.

The more people who notice and see your name on other blogs, social media sites, etc the more opportunities you get to build links. Itโ€™s as simple as that.

Compile a list: Another incredible way to get featured on roundup posts is compile a list of blogs who often do roundup posts. If you have such a list, you can engage with them, tweet their stuff, talk about their products, and even ask them if you want to get featured on their future roundups. It works like a charm!

Be useful while participating: Whenever youโ€™re participating in blogger roundups, make sure to provide highly useful answers instead of just adding generic answers as they donโ€™t stand out. There are many bloggers who feature the best answers at top from the participants who are providing the best answers.


5. Use Your Product Reviews Smartly

Thereโ€™s another sneaky way to build high quality links and that is to provide product reviews.

Hereโ€™s one of the product review links we got from WPX hosting.

wpx link

As you can see above, weโ€™ve written a detailed review of WPX hosting. Since WPX hosting was providing links from their โ€œcustomer reviewsโ€ section, they featured our testimonial along with a link.

Just make a list of all the products youโ€™re using on your blog. Or find a list of products that are offering links in exchange for customer reviews.

Here are some of the product types that often give links in exchange for customer reviews.

  • Web hosting-related products (such as WPX hosting)
  • Email marketing softwares (such as GetResponse etc)
  • SEO tools (such as Semrush)
  • And the list goes on

Let us demonstrate another example.

When we wrote an in-depth review of Hostinger, we emailed them about the review and asked them to tweet or link to it if they found it useful for their audience.

Guess what? They not only tweeted it but they actually linked to it from their own blog. Not only do we attract โ€œtargeted peopleโ€ to read the Hostinger review but also a link from a great product site.

You can do the same and hereโ€™s how.

Next time, you write a product review, make it highly informative and more detailed. Aim for 2000 words if possible with lots of screenshots.

Then, email the developers of the products you are going to recommend. Ask them to share or link to your product review posts. If they like it, they are surely going to link to it.


6. Video Marketing

Whether you know it or not, YouTube is the second biggest search engine after Google.

videos for links

There are thousands of marketers who are diving into video marketing to build quality backlinks and followers. Videos are easy to watch and much easier to digest when compared to textual content.

So how to create quality backlinks with videos? If you are a newbie, instead of directly jumping into video marketing, we suggest the following.

Start a YouTube channel: This is the first step. To get started with video marketing, you need a YouTube channel. Just make sure to find out the top-performing posts that send you more traffic from Google and make videos around them.

Use your links and promote wisely: Make sure to add links to those posts from the description of the videos to drive traffic from YouTube to your blogs and build backlinks.

Hereโ€™s one of our video tutorials on YouTube.

As you can see, the above video talks about the highest-paying web hosting affiliate program. The topic has already been covered on our blog BloggersPassion.

The whole point of doing a video tutorial around a topic that has already been covered on the blog is this: to get more viewers, to build links from YouTube, and to increase the overall exposure of the content that is already performing well.


7. Be Active On Quora

Quora is one of the best ways to get backlinks in 2024.

If you’re a blogger and looking for great platforms to build links and get more traffic, you must check out Quora

Once you sign up for Quora (free to join), pick and follow the topics you are interested in and you will be able to get the feed of questions and answers related to them.

For instance, SEO is our favorite topic, and when we want to know what our target audience are searching for, hereโ€™s what Quora shows to us.

Quora seo questions

Now, you will know the questions that make your target audience curious. Start creating content around those topics on your own blog and once you are done, answer the same questions on Quora.

So the key here is to balance the things out both on your blog and on Quora. But donโ€™t give detailed information, instead send them to your own blog pages where they can find full information.

Hereโ€™s an example of how we write answers on Quora. You can follow us on Quora from here as we often share articles related to increasing website traffic, SEO and making money online.

quora answer example

As you can see above, weโ€™ve linked to one of our own articles which is relevant to the question posted on Quora. Not only weโ€™ve provided a useful answer on Quora for searchers query but we also linked to our post.

Here are few tips that we implement while writing answers on Quora which work really well so you can also follow them.

Find new ideas while writing on Quora: Donโ€™t give the same old advice everyone else is giving on Quora as they donโ€™t fetch any upvotes (upvotes on Quora are similar to likes on Facebook or retweets on Twitter). Find new ideas and use them within your Quora answers as they get immediate attention from the users.

Start building a presence for yourself: The best way to get most out of Quora is building a strong presence on this platform. How can you do that? Thereโ€™s only one way and that is to provide helpful answers.

Track results and engage with others: The final tip is to track your results as Quora gives a detailed analysis of your upvotes, most traffic-generated answers etc. By tracking results, you can easily find out what type of answers are generating better results.

Also donโ€™t forget to engage with others on Quora as Quora is not meant for self-promotion. When you start promoting others while writing on Quora, youโ€™ll also get the same kind of promotion sooner or later.


8. Offer Testimonials

Did you know that you can get highly relevant and quality backlinks by using a testimonial hack?

What is a testimonial hack?

This is the most less used yet most effective strategy to build quality backlinks without creating more content on your blogs. Here’s how it works: Find relevant blogs or products and start giving testimonials.

Are you wondering how to use testimonials to build quality backlinks?

Let us share the testimonial strategy.

Step 1: Find all the products you are using already

You might be using at least a couple of premium products such as web hosting, SEO tools, WordPress plugins, etc, right?

Now, all you have to do is to use them to the full extent write a testimonial about them, and email it to the product owners. Thatโ€™s it!

The majority of the product owners use their customer’s REAL testimonials while linking to their blogs. You got a quality link from an authority product site. Bingo, thatโ€™s how you can use your products to generate quality links.

Step 2: Read and implement the strategies given by other bloggers

You must be reading a lot of articles related to your domain each and every week, right? Why not follow their advice, get some results for yourself and start emailing those bloggers about your results.

Step 3: Find opportunities

In the final step (if all the above fails), you should find opportunities manually.

There are literally millions of blogs out there that provide you with free links. Yes, you heard it right. In fact, there are even authority sites that give you dofollow links for giving them testimonials.

For instance, we got a high-quality link from one of the authority sites called SearchLogistics.com.

Search Logistics testimonial link

As you can see above, we gave a testimonial about Matthew Woodward blog (who is a well known SEO expert and successful affiliate marketer) and we got a link in return.

So itโ€™s a win/win approach. He got a testimonial from a genuine reader and we got a link in return. Now, your job is to find such blogs and websites that are offering backlinks in exchange for a testimonial.


9. Create Compelling Infographics

Most searched queries on Google Infographics

Did you know you can turn images into quality backlinks?

Yes, itโ€™s possible with Infographics. Infographics can help you easily create backlinks.

They are beautifully explained in simple images. The information in Infographics is not only easy to understand but it gets shared on social media and frequently linked from other blogs.

You can use tools like Photoshop, Gimp or hire a designer to design stunning Infographics. But if you canโ€™t afford paid designers or not good at Photoshop, try Canva. Itโ€™s a simple image editing tool that helps to create Infographics easily even if you donโ€™t know how to design!

You can also tap into this blog post which provides easy-to-understand steps on how to create beautiful infographics.


One smart strategy SEO experts in the world and link-building enthusiasts use is the broken link-building strategy (also called link reclamation).

It is finding broken links in other blogs and then emailing the blog owners to fix them and asking them to replace the broken links with your own links.

That way you will have more chances of building links in the place of broken links to increase your search rankings.

So how can you find broken links on other sites?

Step 1: You can use the Broken Link Check site to start finding broken or dead links of any website. All you need to do is to click on this link.

Step 2: Enter the domain name for which you want to find broken links.

Step 3: Within no time, you will get all the information about the broken links for the entered domain.

Step 4: Once you find all the dead links of a site, email the corresponding blogger about the same.

You can use the following email copy.

Hi [name],

Iโ€™ve been reading your blog for a while now and Iโ€™m fascinated with your content.

I just found a couple of broken links on your site.

[List all of them]

BTW, Iโ€™ve an article relevant to your audience which you can replace with your [broken link] only if you think itโ€™s suitable for your readers.

Keep up your great work.

Regards,

Your name.

Thatโ€™s it! Thatโ€™s how you can easily find hundreds of broken links and send emails to at least 10 people every day to get natural links for your own blogs.

Quick note: Not all bloggers are going to give you a link. As a rule of thumb, expect to get a link or two from every 10 emails you send to other bloggers.

Bonus Read: Keep your strategies up-to-date by exploring the Future of SEO and the role backlinks will play.


Reaching out to other bloggers whenever you publish a valuable post on your blogs is the surefire way to get high quality incoming links to your content.

You may ask โ€œWhy would anyone link to my blog posts?โ€.

Thatโ€™s a fair question. The reason anyone would link to your content is because itโ€™s highly appropriate for their audience.

To increase your chances of getting links from other bloggers to your content is to follow the โ€œreciprocity ruleโ€.

What does it mean?

How do you get more blog comments? By start commenting on other blogs.

How do you get more social shares? By sharing others stuff on social media sites.

How do you get quality backlinks? By linking out to other bloggers from your blog posts.

See, thatโ€™s called reciprocity.

Start linking to other bloggers, and do it frequently and consistently. Make sure to send an email to each and every blogger you link out to.

That way they will know that you have linked to their posts and frequently sending emails to them after linking will also persuade them to start linking out to your posts.

Thatโ€™s how you get backlinks from other bloggers to your blogโ€™s content. If you are still wondering how to get the most out of a blogger outreach strategy to build backlinks, we highly advise you to go through this post on blogger outreach.


12. Do Internal Linking

Have you ever asked yourself how to generate your own backlinks to increase your search rankings? Is that really possible?

Yes, internal linking is the key. Linking to your own blog posts is the surefire way to increase search engine crawlability on your sites. Whenever you link to one of your older and relevant blog posts, it adds weight to the particular keywords you are trying to rank for.

It helps to boost your search visibility in the long run and search crawlers frequently crawl your sites whenever you link to your own posts. So next time, whenever you write a new post, before publishing it, make sure to interlink to the relevant links from your own blog to pass link juice.


13. Advanced Link-Building Tools

  4. Sir, I have a question related to blog commenting backlinks. When we comment on any blog there is an option to add the name. By adding name our name is considered as anchor text which is referring to our site. For example, My name is “Kunst Jondia” and my site is related to Art and Gallery. When I use my name on the blog commenting Does it will affect to my site SEO or not?

    Reply
    • Yes, it affects your rankings. So be sure to use your own name while commenting on other blogs. In fact, it also provides online exposure when you start leaving more comments as whenever you search on Google, your name appears with the list of blogs where you’ve commented. So it ultimately improves your brand name.

      Reply
      • Yes Anil, I agreed with you. But most of the times I see people trying to use what they want to rank on Google in the place of their names and it’s not pointing to where those keywords were mentioned.

        And here I’m asking if Google will consider that as spamy backlinks?

    Reply
    • Yes, on page optimization is also equally important. Make sure to get your title and meta description right. Google has also stated that keywords in meta descriptions wonโ€™t affect your rankings. But good description will definitely help in Increasing CTR (Click Through Rate) if you want more organic traffic.

  13. You’re right about Quora. It is getting bigger by the day. I just hope it doesn’t get spammed like Yahoo Answers did and all blog backlinks get banned by the blatant antics of a few.

    • Hi Jon, yes, QUora is getting bigger by the day and it also has millions of active users and you can find a ton of influential bloggers to network with. Just make sure to promote good answers and also share your relevant links to get more out of Quora.

  14. Really a great article which touches almost every sphere of back linking. How about getting back links using paid services like social monkey ? Will you advice us ?
    Thanks for sharing this awesome post.

    Reply
    • Yes, you can buy links but from trusted sources. Whether you know it or not, Google indexes your site whenever you update something (new blog post, video or comments). While search engine bots crawls your website, if it finds any backlinks, it indexes your site. The more links you get the better your site crawling rate will be which is good for your siteโ€™s SEO. So even if you buy links from trusted sources, it’s only going to help you. We’ve written about it here: https://bloggerspassion.com/buy-backlinks/ (you’ll also find few useful sites where you can buy links).

  15. Hi Anil,

    That’s an incredible post. A lot of people Ignore websites like Quora because they do not give back Do-Follow links. But I feel, for a beginner Quora is the best way to drive traffic to your Blog. If you can be sincere with your answers there, I feel Quora can give you highly targeted traffic.

    Infact my Analytics says, My bounce rate is lower for traffic from Quora than Organic traffic from Google.

    By the way just had one question, is Digg and Stumbleupon still worth spending your time?

    • Hi Aquif, Quora doesn’t give you dofollow links. But it is a great platform where you can actually generate targeted traffic. Not only that, you can promote your posts using your links (nofollow though). But it also gives a nice mixture for your backlink profile. You should NEVER focus only on dofollow links as you equally need nofollow links from social media, blog comments, quora and so on.

  16. Being all great recommendations, I would highlight the first and last ones, as they are quite unusual (product reviews and quora community). Regarding forums and communities, could be helpful to look for more specialized ones, like StackExchange or Q&A Moz.

    • Exactly, regarding forums and communities, could be helpful to look for more specialized ones, like StackExchange or Q&A Moz. Just make sure to even participate in forums like Quora where you can write useful answers and promote your blog posts.

  21. Hello Anil,

    Great post. Awesome stuff!

    I love the one about the product reviews.

    I never thought of reaching out to the product owner and asking for a share or link.

    Will have to try it someday.

    I also liked the infographic idea. That’s definitely a technique I’ll have to try this year. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Happy 2016!

    Cheers,
    Julian

  23. Hi Anil,

    Very indepth article on getting quality backlink. Citations and outreaching through buzzstream is an another point which you might want to add in the post.

    Skyscrapper technique developed by Backlinko is really good but there are less chance of getting those backlinks.

  24. Thanks for the share, I really loved your techniques out of the above mentioned one’s I think info graphics requires some amount of Photoshop skills. Rest, everyone can manage. Broken link building strategy is one of the best way ! I have tried it and found successful in doing the same.

  25. Anil,

    I agree with all of these ways getting quality backlinks, “E mail outreach” seems new ways NOT only to me, but I believe it will helpful to others creating backlinks and targeted traffic.

    I have used Yahoo answers getting backlinks and traffic to my blog from my level 3 account, I got thousands of traffic from it, and later I discontinued this due to lack of focus and time, the same way of getting backlinks and targeted traffic from Quora is extremely powerful.

    Before getting in to Email outreach, we should have good relationship with fellow bloggers and readers, then only we can achieve this goal.

    Thanking you for this wonderful post.

  28. Wonderful post for the bloggers, Anil!

    Yes, backlinks matter a lot in getting good SERPs but we need to be careful in building the links. If we look spammy to the eyes of Google, then we may face struggles in driving organic traffic.

    I agree with you that the guest blogging and the internal linking are the best backlink strategies but I’m missing specific stuff like Quora, infographics and video marketing to earn the authoritative inks.

    I’ll try to implement those ways in building the links for my blog, keep writing for us.

    Happy New Year!
