Create Shareable Content
If your business website does not yet have a blog, then it’s probably time to get one as this is where you are going to get most natural backlinks to your site, without having to ask. Some blog posts tend to perform better than others when it comes to being linked to. Lists, for example, are great as they are regularly linked to in other blog posts for being informative and useful.
Check for Mentions
If your company has created great content, or done something newsworthy recently, then it’s a good idea to keep your eye out for any mentions of your company from other sites, news articles, and social media that may not have linked to you. You can then get in touch with the author of the post or the owner of the page to request that they add a link to their mention of your company.
Q&A Sites
Question and answer sites like Quora can be used to build some nofollow links that can send traffic to your website. It is worth checking out Quora for any relevant questions that your business will be able to provide an answer to and mention your website as a resource for the information that you provide.
Sponsor Events
Having your business sponsor events can be a great way to build more publicity and get links back to your website. Whether you sponsor an industry conference, a local meetup event, or anything else, events are always on the lookout for different businesses to sponsor them. When you do this, you’ll usually get at least a mention at the event, or a link to your website from the event website.
