SEO is getting harder every year with evolving Google search algorithms. One thing thatโs 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, weโll 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”:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 youโre trying to build links, focus on high-quality backlinks, as they can improve your overall siteโs traffic and authority. Low-quality backlinks, on the other hand, can damage your siteโs authority and prevent your site from getting better search rankings.
Types of Backlinks
So both the do-follow and no-follow links are essential.
If you are only building do-follow links, thatโs the surefire way to get penalized by Google algorithms. So make sure to spend your time and efforts on creating both types of links.

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
- Youโll 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 hereโs the thing: guest posting takes time and itโs 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.
Hereโs 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,
Anil Agarwal,
BloggersPassion
Whenever youโre 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, donโt 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. Thatโs how you can come up with great topic ideas for your guest posts.
2. Link Building with Interviews
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 โAnil Agarwal blogger interviewโ, you will see lots of blogs and YouTube videos where Iโm getting featured (which means more mentions and backlinks for my blog).
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 donโt have enough personal brand but great content or results on your blog.
Hereโs how an example email pitch looks like;
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.
Thatโs 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 itโs 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 youโre 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, thatโs true.
Hereโs the link to the post on Forbes where BloggersPassion got mentioned. We really didnโt reach out to anyone to get that link as it came naturally.
Hereโs the link to the post WikiHow where one of the blog posts on BloggersPassion has been given reference.
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. Thereโs no other way around it.
And how to create content that naturally attracts links?
Letโs 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 thatโs 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 youโre 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?
Thereโs 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.
- Finding content that is popular in your industry.
- Making it better, detailed, compelling, and helpful.
- Promoting it to the right people to reach a wider audience.
4. Link Building Through Roundups
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.
Hereโs the example of roundup post where we have been featured on Huffington Post. Just have a look at this roundup post from HuffPost.
As you can see above, Huffington Post is an incredibly high DA site that has featured me in one of their roundup posts on โLinkedIn marketing strategyโ.
Hereโs 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. Donโt spend time only on your blog as itโs 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. Itโs 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 youโre participating in blogger roundups, make sure to provide highly useful answers instead of just adding generic answers as they donโt 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
Thereโs another sneaky way to build high quality links and that is to provide product reviews.
Hereโs one of the product review links we got from WPX hosting.
As you can see above, weโve written a detailed review of WPX hosting. Since WPX hosting was providing links from their โcustomer reviewsโ section, they featured our testimonial along with a link.
Just make a list of all the products youโre 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 โtargeted peopleโ to read the Hostinger review but also a link from a great product site.
You can do the same and hereโs 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.
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.
Hereโs 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, hereโs what Quora shows to us.
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 donโt give detailed information, instead send them to your own blog pages where they can find full information.
Hereโs 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.
As you can see above, weโve linked to one of our own articles which is relevant to the question posted on Quora. Not only weโve 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: Donโt give the same old advice everyone else is giving on Quora as they donโt 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? Thereโs 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 donโt forget to engage with others on Quora as Quora is not meant for self-promotion. When you start promoting others while writing on Quora, youโll 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. Thatโs 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, thatโs 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.
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 itโs 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
Did you know you can turn images into quality backlinks?
Yes, itโs 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 canโt afford paid designers or not good at Photoshop, try Canva. Itโs a simple image editing tool that helps to create Infographics easily even if you donโt know how to design!
You can also tap into this blog post which provides easy-to-understand steps on how to create beautiful infographics.
10. Fixing Broken Links to Other Websites
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],
Iโve been reading your blog for a while now and Iโm fascinated with your content.
I just found a couple of broken links on your site.
[List all of them]
BTW, Iโve an article relevant to your audience which you can replace with your [broken link] only if you think itโs suitable for your readers.
Keep up your great work.
Regards,
Your name.
Thatโs it! Thatโs 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.
11. Blogger Mention Links
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 โWhy would anyone link to my blog posts?โ.
Thatโs a fair question. The reason anyone would link to your content is because itโs highly appropriate for their audience.
To increase your chances of getting links from other bloggers to your content is to follow the โreciprocity 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, thatโs 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.
Thatโs how you get backlinks from other bloggers to your blogโs 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

Once more thank you โAnilโ and share this type of valuable information
Thank you so much for sharing this type of informative content. After reading this post i ranked my website in 10th position in google search engine by creating backlinks.
Thank you for sharing this type of informative content. After reading this post i ranked my website in 10th position in google search engine by creating backlinks.
I particularly like your description of working with Quora. Though I have a different question for you. Does it make sense to try to get my blog on somebody’s blog roll? If it does, how do I go about it? Thank you for your help.
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?
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.
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?
Hello, Anil Thank you for Sharing valuable Information. Your blog commenting sites is more helpful for my website to build link building. It is really helpful and informative or health blog sharing this list.
Itโs really helpful.

One thing that I like most about BloggersPassion is that here I get the most detailed guide about any blogging topic. BloggersPassion is like a one-stop solution for all blogging related queries.
Thanks for providing such an informative post about the link building.
HI Varun, thanks so much for the appreciation. Yes, we strive to put lots of detailed contents so they can be helpful for everyone including the beginners. Thanks for the comment!
Now a Days OnPage SEO is more important than Building Backlinks, if we do proper seo on our websites than we can get higher google ranking, try this and see results now donโt hunt for backlinks.
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 wonโt affect your rankings. But good description will definitely help in Increasing CTR (Click Through Rate) if you want more organic traffic.
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.
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.
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 siteโs 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).
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.
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.

I also liked the infographic idea. That’s definitely a technique I’ll have to try this year. ๐
Happy 2016!
Cheers,

Thanks Virat for sharing additional ways to build quality links. Most of web directories lost their authority in the recent times and rest of pointers looks fine.
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.
Thanks Jay for leaving your value adding comment around creating quality links.
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.
Nitin any other link building strategy which you found most successful?
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.
Praveen please let me know in case I missed any effective way to build quality links for a website through this post.
Hi Anil,
Great post. I think if content is king, backlinks are queen for bloggers. Thanks for sharing the techniques to build links. Expecting more posts on seo tips for readers like me.
Thanks again
Yes, content is king and backlinks are what rule the kingdom. Make sure to focus on building links from relevant sources if you want to get more organic traffic to your sites.
Hello Anil Sir,
Its been a pleasure to read your every new post and this one is also not different. Well informative post on finding ways to creating backlinks.
I have a request for you. Please write a detailed post on dofollow and nollow.
Thanks for this article and Happy New Year……
Raiju will surely write about this topic in coming days. And in case you have specific questions about Dofollow and Nofollow tags, please let me know. I will try to cover them in that post.
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!
