Getting backlinks without content marketing

[monster99]

Hey i have a client who currently has a large ecommerce store with over 50,000 hits a months. I've made the recommendation that they should consider adding a blog and invest in content activities. However they won't be able to do so for quite some time.

In the mean time what are some ways i can get backlinks (whitehat only).

I'm thinking guest posting on high DA blogs and sites is the best bet.

Also sponsorship, CSR activties, and the occasional press release.

Can anyone recommend any other ways, or methods i can use to obtain good quality links, or articles which discuss this topic.

Thanks,

Mark

We have helped many customers achieve TOP 5 rankings without ever using content marketing!

In fact, there are many other powerful linkbuilding strategies like :

• blog commenting on quality blogs with dofollow comments
• forum posting on area specific forums with incontent links
• social bookmarking
• directories preferably good quality one and done manually of course

Of course, you might say, this is so old style SEO! And I would have to agree with you, but guess what? they still work quite well even on highly competitive keywords when done properly.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Yes there are lot of other ways you can get quality links and content is not the only way as Rand says. Check out this video which mentions other methods of link building other than content.

One way is to perform competitors analysis and see what links your competitors are getting and approach those sites though creative emails to get the link from there. Use Open site explorer tool to see your competitor's links/.

Hope that helps.
