Backlink magnets for new websites help a lot to get new backlinks, good Google rankings and a lot of visitors quickly.
But what are backlink magnets and what are they? I answer this question below.
I also give tips for content that can be used as backlink magnets, and I keep giving my own examples.
Why are backlink magnets important for new websites?
A few days ago David wrote about his experience with podcasts as a backlink magnet and that inspired me to take a general look at possible backlink magnets for new websites.
After all, this is often the biggest problem with new websites. You can’t get backlinks and that slows down your own growth.
If, on the other hand, you manage to get good backlinks with a new website at an early stage, your website will grow relatively quickly and generate income early on.
That is why it is worthwhile to think about possible backlink magnets for new websites and I am now introducing them.
What is a backlink magnet?
The name sounds a bit lurid, but there is something to it. The main thing here is to build backlinks all by itself, i.e. passively.
The content of the website or individual content is so attractive and interesting that many other website operators, bloggers, social media users and so on, put backlinks on it all by themselves.
A backlink magnet attracts the backlinks all by itself, just like a magnet with metal does.
However, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t promote this content, but that only increases its effect.
What makes a backlink magnet?
It should go without saying that a new website should have high quality content and topics with a relatively high level of interest.
Nevertheless, every website owner or blogger realizes that great articles do not automatically bring backlinks. For example, I have a lot of articles on my blogs and websites that get a lot of views but not a lot of backlinks.
So what makes an article or other website content a backlink magnet?
- Arouse emotions Probably the most important point are emotions. If the content of a website arouses strong emotions in the readers, then they are emotionally invested and more willing to link to the content.Good and in-depth information is important, but only if you arouse emotions in the readers will you get a backlink magnet.
- Stroking egos This point also goes in the direction of emotions. Most people like it to be mentioned or featured. Many find it great when they are asked for their opinion and quoted.
- Be exclusive Most people, especially in Germany, are very cautious. Many don’t let others look into their own cards, which is a shame.The more popular are content that offer exclusive insights and are therefore simply so interesting that many link them.
- uniqueness It’s certainly not easy to release something completely new these days, but that should be the goal. Because if you publish unique content that your target group has never seen before, but has always searched for, then the chances of many backlinks are also very good.
- No competition This point affects the competitive thinking of many website operators. Of course, most of them don’t want to backlink their competing websites. I can understand that too.It is therefore worthwhile to use other media and platforms that are not viewed as competitors. These are then more likely to be linked.
- to take over work Most internet users want to do as little work as possible. Of course, almost everything can be found somewhere on the Internet, but the search for it is tedious and arduous.That is why it is the case with many Link Magnets that this work has been done for the readers and that is precisely why this content is very well received.
The more of these 6 factors you combine in one piece of content, the higher the chances of generating a really good backlink magnet.
You shouldn’t expect such articles to automatically bring hundreds of backlinks, but this definitely increases the chances.
The best backlink magnets for new websites
Below I am listing content for websites that make very good backlink magnets. It is not guaranteed that it will be, but the chances are good.
These backlink magnets are sometimes very specific and certainly do not fit every website. Others are a bit more general and can be customized well.
I would also like to point out that this list is not exhaustive. That is the content that came to my mind. You should think for yourself about what might fit your website or your website topic.
Revenue report
This is the famous “Low Hanging Fruit”, an obvious piece of content that just interests a lot of people. There are reasons why many websites, blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels etc. are reporting on their earnings. A lot of people are interested in that and that’s how you get a lot of backlinks.
This look behind the scenes is exciting and you can also use it to report on the income of others. In the past, I had very good experiences with a monthly income report from various blogs and websites.
