\"MoosaMany people today are having problems with effective link building strategies. Previous gurus put out the idea that if you just create high-quality content, people will automatically link to you. In response, Moosa Hemani of Thrive Internet Marketing explores this topic at Rocks Digital.<\/p>\n

How to Create Conversion-Centric Link Building<\/h2>\n

Example: There was a money keyword that one of Moosa’s clients wanted to rank for. Moosa told him\u00a0that it would take 6 months, and the client said he was fine with that. But then after 2 months, the client was wondering why it was taking so long!<\/p>\n

Moosa understood\u00a0that if you don’t get conversions<\/em> for a client they are indeed going to become\u00a0impatient, and he realized it would make better\u00a0sense to focus more on conversion link building. If you are getting links on high-quality sites they will work well for you. However, there can be a\u00a0problem finding links for less glamorous products (example: garage sales, fence building).<\/p>\n

Build Business Citations<\/h3>\n

It is imperative to work on your business citations, though many businesses are not doing so. Why?\u00a0Because people will make their final choice from the first page of the search results, and WILL NOT move on to the second page.<\/p>\n

Also, business citations help connect your business online to reviews given about your business. If you are not getting reviews and ratings for\u00a0your business, you will\u00a0not get the kind of conversions you’re looking for. There are many people that Google a business, or look it up on Yelp or Angie’s List. Put your business on a listing site of some sort, even if it’s not on Google My Business.<\/p>\n

You can get positive reviews from your real clients if you go after them. Even if the review is negative, you can interact with the customer or client\u00a0to make things better.<\/p>\n

Use Google Analytics<\/span><\/p>\n

This can help with building conversion links. The idea is to dive into Google Analytics for one year and see what is giving you the conversions you are looking for. Look at a date range, and look at which websites are giving you more conversions during that time frame.<\/p>\n

Create a list of high-quality websites that have given you a backlink, then brainstorm a list of ideas on\u00a0how to get that site to give you more backlinks (example: you can guest blog on one of the sites).<\/p>\n

Also, brainstorm on how you can get links from those sites in the future. Usually, if they have linked to you in the past, they are going to link to you again.<\/p>\n

Authority Blogs \/ Magazines<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use an RSS reader like blog.feedspot.com to read all your favorite blogs in one place.<\/li>\n
  2. Figure out what blogs will work for your clients. They usually will have more traffic and more domain authority. It’s not always the case, but usually this is true.<\/li>\n
  3. Put your list in an Excel spreadsheet.<\/li>\n
  4. See how many Facebook fans they have. If they have a good number of Facebook fans it means they are very active. If the amount is growing then they are REALLY active.<\/li>\n
  5. Check how often they post new content. If they post content often, then you know they are active.<\/li>\n
  6. Check the Alexa rank. While not a perfect gauge, it can give you a good idea about the site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that you have this, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about.\u00a0Not only will you get traffic, but you also can get conversions.<\/p>\n
