Some would go for guest posting to increase the traffic of their sites. However, this is what Google’s previous webspam head; Matt Cutts said about this; “Guest posting is no longer as effective when building links. If you are still doing this now then you are with some really bad company”.
According to Matt, the reason why guest posting no longer works is that most bloggers do not give importance to the value of their articles’ content. All they are up to is to get a link. And they just comply with the minimum requirement to meet that end. However, this does not mean to say that guest posting can no longer be used. In fact, this can still be effective if the blogger’s post is in-depth, relevant and excellent. This will create more social shares and drive authority to a site.
There is one good way to get high quality backlinks speedily and this is with the use of infographics. This is because these images are intuitive and allow you to send the message across quickly. To make things work on your favor, embed a code on your infographic. Anyone who will use this image on their site will need to use this code. Use your site’s URL on the infographic’s embedded code. And once the user will attribute your infographic when posting this on their site, this will create a hyperlink leading back to your site. Using personal blogs can also help. This will come up with contents that feel personal and natural, driving more traffic to your site.
