In fact, some of them are way more powerful than others, and some backlinks can even harm your website and its rankings in the SERPs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is why it is highly recommended to get more contextual backlinks for your website. It is believed that a good contextual backlink is at least 5x more powerful than any other kind of backlink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And in this post, I\u2019m going to share some proven methods on how to get powerful, contextual backlinks for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For now, let\u2019s start from the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>What is a Contextual Backlink?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A contextual backlink is a link that is acquired\u00a0naturally within the body of a blog\u00a0post or webpage and points to your website. Here is an example of a good contextual backlink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Contextual-backlink.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Contextual-backlink.png\" alt=\"Contextual backlink\" width=\"465\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As you can see the backlink in the above screenshot \u201c11 content optimization tips\u201d appears naturally within the post. It is totally contextual and adds value to the post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Search engines love these contextual backlinks as they are appear more genuine, honest, and valuable for the readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It can be a bit tough, however, to get these contextual backlinks from high authority websites. Here are a few proven methods to help you get these powerful links.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>1. Broken Link Building Strategy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is one of the easiest methods to get high-quality and 100% natural contextual backlinks to your website. The idea behind this strategy is actually very simple and can be summarised in the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Find broken links on a high-quality relevant website in your niche that you would like to get backlinks from.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Create a relevant piece of content that can replace that broken link.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Publish that piece on your blog<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Inform that owner of the website of the broken link they have and offer your piece to fix that broken link.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It almost always works if the blog post you\u2019re offering is of very high quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For most people, finding those broken links can be confusing and difficult. You can use a free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/browser\/desktop\/\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Chrome<\/span><\/a> extension, such <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/broken-link-checker\/nibppfobembgfmejpjaaeocbogeonhch?hl=en\"><span class=\"s3\">Broken Link Checker<\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/check-my-links\/ojkcdipcgfaekbeaelaapakgnjflfglf?hl=en-GB\"><span class=\"s3\">Check My Links<\/span><\/a> to easily find these broken links.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Or, if you have money to spend on a tool, you can also buy <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/a> to help you find these broken links and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>2. Guest Blogging<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Guest blogging is another very good way to acquire high-quality contextual backlinks from authority websites in your niche.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When people talk about guest blogging, they don\u2019t often think of contextual backlinks. All they usually focus on is the author-bio link that they get at the end of the blog post. While it is a backlink, it is not a <i>contextual backlink<\/i> and, therefore, isn\u2019t that powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What you should do is try to include a couple of contextual backlinks within the body of the post, provided if it seems natural.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can even get a couple of relevant posts ready specifically for this particular purpose, i.e., to include as contextual links in your next guest post.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>3. Seek Roundup Posts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Another tip is to find relevant roundup posts and get one of your blog posts listed in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s actually a relatively simple process if you have some high-quality posts published on your website. After that, it just requires manually outreaching to a few website owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Here is an example of a roundup post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Round-Up-Post.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5643\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Round-Up-Post.png\" alt=\"Round Up Post\" width=\"468\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Assume that you have a very high-quality blog post in the personal development niche. Do you see yourself contacting the owner of this post and getting your post included in this list?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If it truly adds value to the readers of personal development niche, the owner of this would love to include your blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And any link from a roundup post like this is almost always a natural, contextual backlink.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>4. Infographics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Blog posts are relatively easier to create. Infographics, however, are very unique and take a lot of time to create and publish on the web.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you have some great infographics, you can use them to get hundreds of high-quality contextual backlinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/backlinko.com\/\">Brian Dean from Backlinko<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> has written <a href=\"http:\/\/backlinko.com\/how-to-get-backlinks\"><span class=\"s2\">a step-by-step guide<\/span><\/a> to teach you how to do that. If you are interested in getting backlinks with infographics (which might not be as easy as some of the other methods mentioned in this post) I highly recommend you to read his post.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Final Words<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Contextual backlinks always carry a lot of search engine power with them. If you\u2019re building links anyway, always go for the contextual backlinks first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By using these 4 proven methods mentioned in this post, I\u2019m confident that you will be able to generate a lot more contextual backlinks to your website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that search engines love backlinks.
