I have a legal blog that gets about 45,000 monthly users. I’ve been building backlinks by reaching out to reporters and organizations, but I’m looking for simpler methods to add to my strategy. For example, I’ve thought about re-posting articles on platforms like Medium or Quora, but I’ve heard Medium doesn’t help much with SEO.
What other straightforward platforms or methods can support backlink-building efforts? Any tips would be really helpful!
Quora might help, but Medium isn’t as useful as it was a few years ago.
Are you asking for platforms that make backlink-building easier? Doesn’t that go against the idea of organic links? Maybe I misunderstood your question.
Two strategies could work really well for you:
Broken Link Building: Look for broken links on relevant websites, create content to replace them, and pitch it to the site owner. You can also use a backlink checker on the broken link to find other sites to pitch the same content to.
Link Bait Content: Publish unique content like research studies, case studies, or data-driven posts that other sites will want to link to. With 45k monthly users, you might even get links passively, but promoting your content on social media can speed up the process.
You could try reaching out directly to stakeholders who might be interested in a link exchange. Or focus on building your reputation as an authority in your niche—people will naturally link to you if your content stands out.
