TECH SEO CASE STUDY
Link Building Done Right: Going Old School In The Tech Niche
Let’s talk tech! It’s fast, it’s always evolving and most of all, everyone’s looking to leverage from it.
And when you get a call from a client that develops content marketing software and asks you to take over their link building affairs, there’s no way you can say no.
The Background
The client had a web-based application through which customers could create e-books from their blogs, notes, PDFs, and even videos.
The application was launched in 2016 and had a user-base of 10,000 at the time we took reins of their link building. Even though those are pretty decent numbers, the client wanted to take them to the next level. And they knew link building could provide the impetus!
Time for Execution
Our game-plan was simple and straight-forward: Get links from the big guns of the tech industry. In the 1 year that we had, this is what we did:
- We kicked off the process by removing toxic links from the client’s link profile.
- Next on our radar was guest posting on renowned tech-related content marketing blogs. That was essential for scalable and natural link building. We knew the competition would be tough simply because of the nature of the niche we were operating in. But we only had one thing in mind: Quality Content in the identified topic clusters.
- We also worked on broken link building by approaching websites linking to dead resources. We offered them updated content with better value. This allowed us to work on a broader keyword base.
