The search engine optimization (SEO) landscape continues to shift and evolve. Yet there’s always one constant, one aspect that is more valuable than any other: backlinks. Although not just any old backlinks – specifically, you want white hat backlinks that boost your website’s standing in an ethical, sustainable manner.

As a specialist blogger outreach agency, we know a thing or two about acquiring high-quality backlinks to boost a website’s standing with Google. Let us reveal some of our secrets – and help you develop a more well-rounded SEO strategy.

What Are White Hat Backlinks?

Before anything else, let us cover what are white hat backlinks exactly. Whitehat backlinks are the gold standard in SEO. These are links that are obtained ethically by following search engine guidelines and are often given to a website based on the merit of their content. If an external site or blog finds your site’s content valuable, they might decide to share it with their readers – and thus, a white hat link is generated.

Think of white hat backlinks as votes of confidence from your peers in the digital world. With each vote, it signals to search engines that your content is reputable and worth ranking highly.

What’s the Difference Between White and Black Hat Backlinks?

Yes, there are also black hat backlinks – and these are best avoided. The contrast in their names suggests the difference between the two. While white hat backlinks are built in an organic, natural way, their black hat counterparts typically involve manipulative tactics and shortcuts. This can include methods like cloaking and using a private blog network (PBN).

It’s true: black hat backlinks can lead to short-term gains. However, they are risky and can result in severe penalties from search engines. If you suspect your site is being punished by some black hat misunderstanding, it’s vital to perform a backlink analysis to learn more about your link profile.

Effective White Hat Link Building Strategies

White hat link building is imperative. Sadly, it’s not an overnight process. You must be persistent and incorporate a strong strategy. We can cover the latter with a number of helpful white hat SEO link building tactics.

Create link-worthy content

Easier said than done. We know. Yet, the first step is to produce high-quality, engaging, and informative content. Whether it’s an insightful blog post, helpful guide, or compelling infographic, great content naturally attracts links.

This is certainly the case if you take an original approach. The more your content is able to stand out from the rest – and deliver unique, valuable talking points – the greater the possibility others will share your pages on their platforms. This is one of the core components of our resource link building service.

Identify and engage with potential blogger partners

Research bloggers in your niche with a strong following and high domain authority. These are the influencers whose backlinks will be most valuable to you. Once you have put together a list of potential blogger partners, reach out to them in an attempt to build fruitful relationships.

You can start by joining their community and directly engaging with their content. You can then take the next step by sending them a personalized message where you express genuine interest in their content – along with how your own content can add value to their site. Make sure you’re polite and professional when doing so.

Guest posting

Sometimes, you might have to sweeten the pot to get a blogger to share your content. This is where guest posting can come in handy. It is typically a direct avenue to earning that all-important backlink, as you can usually include a link to your website within either the content or author bio.

With guest posting, one of the advantages is that you can maintain anchor text ratios. There’s a greater level of control as you are still creating the content – it’s just appearing on a different site. This allows you to optimize your link profile better.

Be active on social media

With an SEO white hat strategy, posting on social media might not seem the most beneficial. However, sharing your content on social media can increase its visibility, which in turn can lead to more natural backlinks. Additionally, social media engagement can foster relationships with influencers and bloggers alike.

Use a trusted white hat backlinks service
