4 Ecommerce Link Building Strategies Generating Powerful, High Quality Backlinks
1: Link Inserts:
To rank, you need a natural backlink profile:
So what’s the most natural and efficient way to get backlinks?
Inside articles and content.
Because that’s what happens when content goes viral and gets tons of backlinks naturally anyway.
So how can you do that?
Let’s say you’re trying to rank for “best Bose Speakers”.
You’d take a cheeky gander on Google at the top ranking sites:
Then you can easily scrape the top competitors in your niche using Ahrefs.com:
Type your competitor in the Site Explorer > Copy their list of backlinks.
And a presto:
Your competitors have done all the hard work for you.
Isn’t that nice of them?
What’s next?
Now do some cold email outreach to those sites.
(Which you can easily automate with Lemlist and get a VA to manage the inbox for you.)
Most of those websites will come back and say:
“Yes we can do that, but it’s going to cost you.”
You pay the bribe:
Might be $20-50.
And then you watch the backlinks come in.
Some sites will link to you for free:
Either way, you’re getting backlinks on autopilot and you can easily outsource it.
That’s how we built backlinks for this ecommerce site:

Almost any business serious about marketing will take up your offer.
