Target Popular Bloggers to Link to Your Blog

Do you love fishing? Do you love to catch bigger fish? These questions are almost the same as asking: Do you love catching inbound links or do you love popular bloggers to link with you. If you do, then why don’t you go target the bloggers well-known in your industry to link to your Blog?

Wall Street Journal made mention on how to target bloggers well-known in your industry to link to your Web site.

Here's a new catchphrase in search-engine optimization these days: Link baiting.

The term may sound shady, but link baiting is an aboveboard tactic that calls for generating new or particularly interesting content on a Web site in hopes that a popular Web site links to it. Having well-ranked Web sites link to yours boosts your site's search-engine results, because most major search engines -- including Google and Yahoo -- consider the number and "quality" of links when generating their rankings. And, having your site linked to a popular site likely will prompt other sites to link to your site as well.

Suppose, for instance, you'd love to have a blogger who's well-known in your industry link to your Web site. You notice this blogger frequently highlights interesting strategies for funding a start-up business. So in hopes of piquing that blogger's interest, you add well-written, interesting content to your site about new trends in start-up financing. Then you conveniently shoot an email to that blogger with a link to the post.


Just remember, authority sites won’t squander reader equity to link to unworthy content. So, work for high quality content whose theme favors the readers best interest of the Blog you are targeting.
