Introduction
In this article, you can expect to learn 10 powerful backlink sources that not many people are using. These link types help rank sites quickly and effectively ahead of the competition and get page #1 Google results. I am also sharing over 60 website examples where you can find these 10 different link types, ranging from DA40 to DA90. Lastly you get strategies for each link type that you can use to drive traffic to your sites.
Even though Google recently devalued all the old favorite link types such as web 2.0, article directories, wikis, press releases and so on, most people are still using them anyway, to which no one has diversified. That’s where this article comes from. I will show you some excellent new link types that you can use to strengthen and diversify your link profile
Start adding the link type mentioned in this article into your backlink profiles for better, faster, and more long term and sustainable results.
Audio Sharing
Google loves audio sharing links and they aren’t going to be devalued anytime soon, below is a list of the highest DA sites.
Soundcloud
bandcamp
Reverbnation
mobypicture
yourlisten
Datpiff
If you want more than just backlinks from these sites, then you’ll need to upload some good, original audio content. If you have any MP3s or audio articles, you can upload those, otherwise just create some. Turn one of your articles into an audio article instead and upload to the sites. If you have a music based site, then you would obviously upload your tracks. For just backlinks, record a 30 second audio clip of you taking or singing with your computer mic and upload.
Logo Submission Sites
I don’t know of anyone else using logo submission sites to get links but they are great and most allow you to not only place your logo but also a nice high DA backlink pointing at your site too.
Logo From Dreams
Design Inspiration
Logo Moose
Logo Faves
Logo Critiques
Logo Fury
Logo Galleria
Getting traffic from these site isn’t the easiest. But if you’re involved in a creative or design based niche, then you’ll be able to get something. Use our logo as an advert of what type of design you do. Other niches will find it tricky to generate much in the way of visitors. This backlink resources work great for backlinks though.
Podcast Sites
A few years ago, everyone was big into podcasts, but then the hype kind of died down. Thing is they are still big business, with huge traffic. The sites have huge DA and despite being well known about for years, the majority of people never used them. Check out this list of high DA sites below which are great for backlinks and traffic.
Itune Podcasts
Ipodder
Blog Talk Radio
Digital Podcast
Podcast Alley
Podcast sites are a great way to bring visitors to your site. Even though not many people talk about podcasts these days, they still have a huge following. If you can create an original and fresh podcast, you will get people interested and people will flock to your site to see what else you can offer. You can find someone on Fiverr to turn your article into a podcast for 5 dollars.
Website Feedback Sites
Website feedback sites allow you to submit your site and get feedback on it’s design, usability, speed and so on. Not only do you get valuable feedback from non biased sources you get some juicy links too.
Most sites won’t get much traffic from these sites but the backlinks are nice.
Blog Aggregators
I’m surprised by the lack of people who use these as they are great for links and traffic. They work by gathering content form around the web and delivering it to people who are interested in it so not only great for high DA backlinks but traffic too.
Great places to get traffic from, submit your site into the relevant categories and watch as people flock to your sites looking for content they like to read. Also great just for the backlinks.
Infographic Sites
Infographics are huge, everyone knows about them, but not many people using them to their advantage in the SEO world. There are a ton of high DA sites you can share your graphics with for links and traffic, check out the best ones below:
Visual.ly
Cool Infographcis
Infographic Showcase
AmazingInfoGraphics
OmgInfoGraphics
Infographics are hot right now but still hardly anyone is using them effectively. If you’re just looking for the backlinks, get one made on Fiverr.com and upload to all the sites. If you want something decent that will actually excite people and drive traffic spend up to $200 on getting on made from somewhere like Upwork or alternatively create your own on Piktochart, upload your own site first, then the infographics sites followed by sending it out to blogs in your niche with a custom article / paragraph telling them they can post it to their site with a link back to you.
Software Submission Sites
Software submission sites have been around forever but no one is using them for SEO purposes which is crazy. They tend to have high DA and are ripe for getting backlinks for. Not so great for traffic though.
Unless your site is software related you aren’t going to see much traffic from these except if you created a really great piece of software related to your niche that people could use but that could be quite costly. Most people will be best just getting a basic piece of software made and uploaded to get the backlinks.
Video Sites Other Than Youtube
Everyone only ever uses Youtube or maybe Vimeo too. There are tons of other sites out there with high DA and tons of traffic with their own little communities consisting of different niches. They can drive tons of traffic to your site and are great for links, here some…
Vimeo
DailyMotion
Metacafe
MySpace Video
Veoh
Justin.tv
Flickr
These sites all have their own, huge, communities. Upload videos with your keywords in the title, descriptions, tags, and filename, often you’ll find due to lower competition they’ll rank quite high automatically. If not throw some links at them to give them a helping hand and watch them rise to the top of searches. They can generate masses of traffic to your site.
Social Media Sites That No One Mentions
Everyone knows Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest but who ever talks about any of the others. They may be less well known but they have huge DA score, masses of traffic and no one is using them for SEO or traffic, until now…
Chime In
Behance
Twoo
Rebel Mouse
Scoop IT
Weibo (微博)
These are some popular social media sites that are on the rise and even though they aren’t quite mainstream yet have high DA for backlinks and big internal audiences.
Chime In: Social network where you can discover, share and talk about the things you love. Upload your content and watch as people like and share it, great for traffic and links.
Behance: Behance is for creative people to share their work and is particularly good because whenever you comment, like or interact with anyone else page it creates a do-follow link back to your meaning your profile can very quickly end up with a decent DA of it’s own. Upload something creative like some photos you’ve taken and interact with as many people as you can, 15 minutes of work can get you a nice boost. If your creative project is related to your niche then the traffic will flow.
Twoo: This site allows you to get opinions on people on any topic you like, so ask questions relevant to your niche to find people in your target audience and drive some of them in the direction of your site.
Rebel Mouse: A cool new site that lets you integrate all your social media (FB, Twitter, YT, Pinterest, Instagram, etc) into one feed as well as add your website (or others) RSS feed to give a wall of related links and content. These can rank surprisingly well and bring in targeted traffic if you keep the content relevant. Build a community based around your niche and use it to send traffic to your site.
Scoop.it: Scoop.it is a magazine style social network that allows people to aggregate content from around the web into their own online magazine. Many scoop.it pages are DA30-40 meaning the backlinks are highly desirable. In order to get links and traffic from other high DA pages simple suggest your own content to people in your niche, most will feature it on their sites. This means your own page gets a link back to it, increasing your pages PR and driving traffic in the direction of your website.
Weibo: Weibo is a leading Chinese social media to share content online. People can write blog, read up-to-date public information, interact with other users, and etc.
Bonus Sites
Here’s a list of bonus sites great for getting backlinks from and occasionally traffic that a lot of people aren’t using…
MeetUp.com: Sponsoring a local meet up for $5 gets you a link back to your site and others linking to the meetup with your link on it. Find a meet up related to your niche in some way and sponsor it, you’ll get people linking to the meet up page and traffic from the meet up page from your site. If there’s no related event use it for a backlink only.
About.me: Your personal profile on the web. Share information about yourself and your life. Great for a backlink.
Quora: Connects you to everything you want to know about. Similar to Yahoo Answers in a way and great for links AND traffic.
Brand Yourself: Personal reputation management service, great for a backlink to your main sites as well as all your social networks.
Bukisa: Share your knowledge with the world i.e. Share knowledge on your niche and cite your website as a source.
