Asking Directly
The average way that businesses gain backlinks to high domain authority websites is by asking for the link. Typically, you will need to provide some sort of reward for such a response. For example, you may offer to write a promotional post about the company in exchange for the backlink from them. If you already have a substantial following, this will likely work.
Another option would be to share backlinks. In this case, you would link back to their website on one of your articles, while they would also link back to you on one of theirs. Larger businesses may not go for this if you’re a small-time business, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, does it?
Snagging Broken Links from Wikipedia
Wikipedia allows anyone to edit their pages, within reason of course. There are times when a Wikipedia page is so old that the source they were linking to is gone.
When this occurs, Wikipedia will automatically look for a live link. If you find a broken link and suggest replacing it with a link to your own page, you will likely get a ‘yes’! (Assuming the page is relevant to the content)
It is even worthwhile to build an entire article around the topic of this broken link, simply to get it on your website. Links via Wikipedia provide a substantial boost to your traffic and ranking, so taking the time to make a good piece is definitely worth it!
These are just two of the many ways in which you can get backlinks for your website. Give them a try. It may take a couple of months, but you will be surprised by the difference they will make!
