While building backlinks we can increase crawl rate of websites thus traffic also increases to attain better page rank.

All available backlinks are not perfect for building external links. It is better to make a link from a high authority website rather than making a bunch of links from low-quality websites.

There are lots of advantages through article submission like, multiple links can be given from one article, better reliability, low competition on links, direct traffic to our website, etc.Both the directory and article submission are available in paid and free version. Be sure to submit only to high quality authorized directories.
• Link baiting: It is another method to create links to your website. It is just like crafting content for others to link to it. While you copy or publish content from other websites, don’t forget to add their website as a reference. Thus others will also do for you. It will increase backlinks or inbound links to your website. The most important factor of link baiting is creating good quality content in which others get attracted to get value from it. Examples of link baiting include breaking news, humor, educational information etc.
• Cross-Linking: It is the process of linking two sites, which may or may not be owned by the same person. While we make links to other websites, it may be a reference to others with similar content, themes, or subject which something new to users interest. Use keyword rich anchor text for cross-linking; it will be more appealing to crawlers. Don’t do too much of linking, it may become penalty from the search engines and also never link to the banned websites. Cross-linking will also increase the traffic and also increase internal page rank for your website, which is a major factor of page rank algorithm of Google.

One of the important factors we need to consider about is about which link should we follow. We should follow the quality link thus we can acquire rank but, while we follow the non-quality link it will affect our site in a worse manner. Try to give follow to better sites, which has good quality and good quantity too. A quality link to your site is far better than a bunch of links from a normal website.

We need to build up an understanding of followers or social media friends. Try to share their post or article so they will do ours also. This is a basic reward or a mannerism. Through social media try to share photos/videos regarding the product or your company. Blogging is also a good method of off page SEO.
