Earning high-quality links
with little or no content
pieces
Hana Bednarova
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
We all love big content
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
And we should, it’s great, we can do so
much with it, right?
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
But as with everything …
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Our larger
pieces can take
much longer to
perform than
what we
planned for
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Or don’t reach results that we expected
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
So, while we are creating or promoting
our larger pieces, we should have a few
more tactics going on.
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
At the end
of the day,
we can’t
rely on one
thing!

Building links with no content pieces
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Now, I am not saying building links for £0 –
because you will be investing a lot of time in
this and time costs money.

Re-use your older content (not old)

Awareness
Days again!

Little content / quick wins
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Quick analysis of public data
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
We all love FOIs
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Don’t wait for ‘the right’ client, if you think
of an idea, send out FOIs and get all data
you need before you actually need it!
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
Turn desk research into a quick piece
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
It’s about having a few tactics to support
(or replace, if there isn’t big budget) larger
campaigns
#brightonseo @Miss_HanaB
In the first two weeks of September with
these (additional) tactics we secured over
100 links across just 2 of our clients
