I am not sure if there are any best practices. But if you find them, let me know.
Meanwhile this is what I do:
1. find places where your customers hang out
2. start meaningful conversations (like this)
3. If the opportunity arises, and only then, drop the link in our conversation.
An if you want to know what I am doing, hop over to thesify.ai to find out ;-)
@duffdevone no. User generated content works at the top of the funnel - the awareness and interest stages. Once in a while, we post product related videos.
@mogthesify okay that makes sense, thank you. I understand the benefit of UGC links in terms of building awareness and potentially driving traffic directly. I was under the impression that if you're just focusing on SEO, those links were not as valuable in influencing a site's presence in the actual SERPs because they were no-follow and therefore not receiving link equity from the referrer.
@duffdevone our difficulty is that Gen Z is less and less using search engines, but rather search on YT, TT, etc. We therefore decided to optimise rankings there.
@duffdevone as an example: one of our previous products was covered by UGC and it generated more and better converting traffic than any ad we ever made.
Monitor your competitors’ backlinks to see where they’re getting their links from. You can use this info to find new opportunities for your own site.
I’m still experimenting with link-building strategies, but I’ve noticed that participating in industry forums and communities can drive some good backlinks.
Try using broken link building. It’s a win-win: you help website owners fix broken links while gaining a valuable backlink for yourself. 👍
One thing I’ve learned is that having a clear, engaging content strategy really helps attract high-quality backlinks naturally. Make content that people want to share!
To boost SEO with high-quality backlinks:
1. Join Relevant Communities: Engage in forums and discussions, sharing your content when it fits.
2. Guest Post: Write valuable articles for reputable blogs in your niche.
3. Create Shareable Content: Develop engaging content like infographics that others want to link to.
4. Use Broken Link Building: Replace broken links on other sites with your content.
5. Analyze Competitors: Check competitors’ backlinks to find new opportunities.
In my SEO agency, these strategies are key for enhancing online presence and improving search rankings.
