<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTestimonial Link Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Testimonials are a common way for businesses to build up their reputation and increase sales. The added legitimacy of testimonials is a significant boost while publishing and responding to all reviews (yes, including the bad ones) makes a company appear involved with their primary audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, testimonials and responses are an excellent opportunity to build up stress-free backlinks. Take a look at this Ahrefs testimony page, and you can see several well-known reviewers and SEO experts getting a link back to their site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the drawbacks of this testimonial strategy is that it\u2019s easier to use when people already know who you are. Having an established authority in your industry means people are more likely to see and trust your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best place to start is by creating a list of products or services for which you want to write testimonials. While building your list, here are a few things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t have to do a deep dive to come up with this list. Just think about the everyday products or services that you use for business. If your company makes use of a particular print service every time they need hard copies of something, provide a testimonial there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t just fire off random testimony. Start by sending a pitch, that way it\u2019s easier to get a backlink alongside your testimony or review. It\u2019s an excellent opportunity to build a relationship with a service provider or brand that you frequently work with anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things to keep in mind while drafting a pitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think of this like any other introductory email; you want to keep it short and straightforward. Explain why you\u2019re reaching out, offer a bit of background, and leave your contact info and website. Most companies are willing to accept testimonials that support their products or services, but it\u2019s a good idea to make additional contact whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you get the okay, the next step is writing your testimonial. Again, you\u2019ll want to keep it short and sweet. But that doesn\u2019t mean boring, be sure to include compelling evidence that the product or service in question is worth people\u2019s time. Not only is that the whole point of a testimonial but if what you have to say is insightful, the backlink strategy is more likely to draw clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The important part is to think of this testimonial like any other piece of copy<\/a> you\u2019d attach to your business. Keep it honest and informative, and hopefully, that will lead people to your site through the backlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people either love or hate infographics, with some viewing them as an obnoxious way to condense content and others seeing them as a powerful digital marketing tool. The truth is like anything else. Infographics are as useful as you make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to the visual and easily digestible nature of infographics, they are still reasonably popular. In particular, their potential to be shared and spread through social sites and other portable methods makes them an excellent medium for backlinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start, you\u2019ll want to design your infographic. If you have a decent eye for design, you can use a simple creator like Canva to build your own or you can hire someone on sites like Fiverr. While the design itself is important because, as I mentioned, it\u2019s a very visual medium, the main focus should still be the value provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider the information you\u2019re including in the infographic and decide if it functions well with visual components<\/a>. Would it be better as a visual heavy blog? Or does the data present well on a standard set of images with limited text? Even though visual components are essential, having an infographic full of fluff would be pretty useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Publishing Your Infographic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to establish ownership of your infographic, publish it on your blog first. Write a compelling blog post related to the newly designed infographics and then push it through your usual blog channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, don\u2019t make the mistake of publishing your infographic solo. It needs to be paired with quality content. Content adds more value to the infographic in general, but it also acts as a signal for search engines to rank your infographic as a search result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use the Skyscraper Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brian Dean<\/a> introduced the Skyscraper method<\/a> years ago, and since then it has become a big part of internet marketing. The basic way of understanding it is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find well performing content in your industry or niche, write updated and improved version of that content, and then reach out to the people linking the competitor content while offering the up-to-date, advanced material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, how can you use this technique for infographic link building?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically just follow the method. Search for whatever niche you\u2019re trying to fill, then add infographic to the end of your search term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s use knot tying as an example. Go to Google, search \u2018how to tie a knot infographics\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After hitting the search feature, I found an infographic with a sweet 57 backlinks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you\u2019ll want to set about making an even better version of the infographic you just found. Or, if you wish to gain another edge, consider the graphic you found and see if there are any niches that it doesn\u2019t fill. Producing better versions of content is practical, but filling an empty niche (particularly if people are looking for answers) can provide even more results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you\u2019ve got your shiny new graphic, reach out to the people linking the source material you found and ask them if they\u2019d like to link yours as well. Just like with the testimonial pitch, you\u2019ll want to make sure you ask with a positive, friendly approach to keep the lines of communication open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Share Your Infographics on Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned, infographics are great because they\u2019re so easy to share. A picture with some interesting stats and useful data is much easier to send or post on social media than a full blog or article, so be sure to take advantage of sharing opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best place to promote your infographics will be Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Twitter and Facebook make it incredibly easy to share content, and if a significant influencer in your industry retweets your infographic, it could potentially reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infographics link building is super easy<\/a> once you know the right spot to hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I\u2019ve had the most success with Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Internal link building is one of the most underrated backlink strategies out there. Surprisingly, many internet marketers don\u2019t use this method, and that\u2019s one of the things that makes it so successful when it is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"ahrefs](\"https:\/\/www.regexseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-1024x883.png\")
