Marketers will agree with the statement that link building is as much as an art as science. The science is in the number of backlinks created and audience generated from it, while the art is creating something worth linking.<\/p>\n
Online marketers are fully aware of the value of links, and Google’s recent policy updates have made getting right backlinks even more difficult. People are usually worried about bad backlinking as it will hurt their website.<\/p>\n
To top that, if we talk about e-commerce link building, things get especially very difficult as businesses usually compete with each other and sell the same product for the same price.<\/p>\n
Below we have mentioned some actionable tips on how link building for ecommerce can be done effectively. We\u2019ll also be citing some real examples of how brands used these tactics for their benefits.<\/p>\n
User-generated content is a great way to increase the backlinks of your business, but controlling it is a different story altogether. User-generated content often is less commercial which is why people prefer to link to it rather than content created by the business. The versatility of user-generated content makes it hard to keep it focused on one page itself. Anyway, when compared to another tactic, UGC is the most effective.<\/p>\n
Building a community goes way beyond just improving the SEO. Brands have been using communities to foster loyal customers with backlinking as an extra benefit.<\/p>\n
People are more likely to link to user-generated content in a forum because it seems less commercialized as compared to the product pages of the website.<\/p>\n
Building a brand community takes time and effort, but once they start attracting the audience they are a great source of backlinking.<\/p>\n
