App review

  • App review is a part of the advocative marketing where we ask influencers to review the app.
  • An Influencer should be chosen based on region, app category, influencer website authority etc.
  • Once chosen, they should be approached through a mail to review the app. The mail should include details about the app and why the influencer is a fit for reviewing the app.
  • Most of the app reviews nowadays are paid. Still, there is no harm in trying for a free review.

Forum discussions & external seeding in Offpage SEO

  • Forum Discussion is one of the most powerful off-page SEO tactics. It not only helps in branding but also helps in driving very relevant traffic to the website.
  • A most basic yet important part of forum discussion is finding out the relevant forums. It needs iterative Google search skills.
  • Many forums allow very minimal hyperlinks
  • Relevancy to a forum could be defined based on category, website type, geography, website extension, language etc.
  • Please use tools like Ahrefs and SEMRush to find from where the competitors are getting the backlinks and list them out in the next slides as per the clients

Profile Creation for external backlinks

  • Profile Creation on different HA sites helps in getting do-follow backlinks provided we are much active on those sites.
  • Generally, when we create a profile on social media, forums, image submission sites etc. by default, we also do a profile creation for the website.
  • Forget not to fill in all details such as profile name, location, URL (Most important), logo, profile picture etc. and whichever is applicable.

YouTube SEO strategy

YouTube commenting is another powerful way of generating traffic. But it needs shrewdness in deciding when and where to put the comment.

YouTube blog linking Strategy

  • Put the link of a related blog in the description of your video
  • Also, embed the video in that blog, preferably in the top half of the blog.
  • This gives a signal that there is a video that exists for that blog and there is a blog that exists for that video.
  • This mutual linking strategy gives you quality traffic from Youtube to blog and Blog to Youtube.
  • I have also noticed that the traffic engagement time of the traffic is higher on the complementary platform. For example, traffic to blog from a related Youtube has a much higher average session duration compared to other traffic. And, video watch duration is much higher of a video for the traffic originating from the blog.
  • Look at the bounce rate, pages per sessions and average session duration of the YouTube traffic below.

Youtube Comments Strategy

  • Choose a channel which is an odd mix of
  • Being viral
  • Having a good subscribers base
  • Generates handsome views
  • Is contextual
  • Is geographically correct
  • Comment under a viral video (Use Google trends to find the viral video)
  • Forget not to like comments from other profiles to keep the comment afloat.

Blog comments strategy for external links

  • Blog comments are other ways to get do-follow backlinks from the high-ranking blogs.
  • Sometimes, not just one but more than four to five comments on a single blog gives you a backlink.
  • Blogs should be relevant and from a similar niche.
  • For the ease of blog comments, you can make a profile on some comment management system such as Commentluv, Disqus etc. This will help in reducing comments disapprovals.

Business Listing for Backlinks

  • List the Business on the relevant business listing sites.
  • Forget not to update the phone number and email on these websites.
  • The business listing should be done on the basis of the targeted country and website category.

Feed Submission

  • Pre-requisite: For the feed submission to work, there should be a feed on the website.
  • Feed submissions are usually preferred for the websites where the content constantly changes almost on the daily basis. For example, blogs and news sites.
  • In some cases, we can also submit the blog feed of your client websites to the blog directories.
  • Feed submissions can also be said as blog directory submission in where we submit feeds.

Viral content targeting

  • As mentioned before, trendy topics can be used to gain instant traffic.
  • Please use Google Trends, Google news, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube for the same.
  • It helps in generating traffic and exposure
