⚡ IL - I convert 30% of traffic to sign-ups
(From the latest issue of the Indie Letters newsletter)
Rank higher in the search results by using keywords from subreddits by @growthbites
Make your way to the top of the search results by figuring out which keywords the subreddits in your niche are ranking for, and optimizing for those. While Reddit has high domain authority, its pages usually don't rank higher in the search results than really good blog posts. Find a subreddit in your niche and use a service like SEMRush or Moz to find out which keywords it ranks the highest for. Then use those keywords to write (and optimize) your content.
Get high-quality backlinks with a process called broken link building
Broken link building (also known as Dead Link Building) is another way to boost your SEO with backlinks.
Step-1:
Find links to 404 pages from sites in your niche. You can do this by exploring blogs with a free Check My Links extension. But the easiest way to do it at scale is with services like Ahrefs or Moz. And use these services to find out what other sites are linking to the broken page (the more the merrier).
Step-2:
Once you find something within your expertise, check out what the original article included by using archive.org. Then write something of your own that encompasses and improves upon it.
Step-3:
Finally, reach out and provide value to each site by giving them a list of all their broken links. And let them know that you've got a highly relevant article to replace one of them. Now you've provided value and you're saving them time by providing a solid alternative -why wouldn't they take you up on it?
