How to Build Backlinks Without Paying for Them



Look, if you want to rank on Google you need backlinks. We all know this, it’s hard, and that’s why a lot of people pay for them, but you shouldn’t pay for them. Paying for them is against Google’s policy, it’s a great way to get your site banned, it’s short term, it’s one of the silliest things you can do. So, if you don’t pay for them how can you get them? Today I’m going to share with you how you can build backlinks without paying for them.

RESOURCES & LINKS:

Why The Links You’re Building Don’t Bring You Any Traffic : https://youtu.be/pymmd-3Hrvw

Here’s how you do it.

Step one, I want you to head over to Backlinks, it’s a free link building tool that I created for you.

Go to neilpatel.com/backlinks and in the search bar put in your competitor URL, it’ll show you all the people that link to your competitors.

Within there I want you to search for the pages that they have that are the most popular.

It’ll show you that, you can see all the links, all the links that people are pointing to other than their home page.

And through the Backlink’s report you can also see that, you can see the backlink count for the whole domain, a specific URL, and when you find the right articles that competition’s going after, you want to look at the backlink count for that URL.

Now, if you’re struggling to find really good pages, another easy thing you can do is when you’re already in the Backlink’s report, in the side bar click on top pages, it’ll show you the top pages that your competitors are writing on, look at the ones that are most similar to you and you can also click the backlinks button there, it’ll show you every single person that’s linking to that article.

Second step, whatever that article is that your competitors wrote that’s similar or related to your industry, I want you to write a better version of that article.

You know, if it’s 1,000 words I want you to make it 5,000 words.

Yes, I know that sounds crazy, requires a lot of work, but go in depth. And I’m not talking about just shoving in keywords and making it long for the sake of it.

I’m talking about great amazing content.

Well, when I’m saying write amazing content, I want you to do things like talk about, if you’re going to write on how to make pizza, break down everything to, how do you pick the vegetables.

Organic versus ones with pesticides. Do you need to drain out the water from the vegetables when you’re cutting them up?

What’s the right length to cut your cucumbers?

All the way to, how the water quality changes the taste of your dough. Do you use bottled water? Do you use tap water?

And then how do you put your toppings? How do you cut it? What kind of fork and knife do you use to cut a pizza? Do you use that circular roller thing?

I don’t know how to cook because I’m not a cook, but you get the point. If that’s how you make a pizza I just want super in depth, and I would try to go even more in depth than that.

I would also include GIFs, animated with images showing like the process of making the dough and spreading it out and tossing it in the air and then catching it and then my wife getting mad at me for making a mess in the kitchen.

Again, I don’t cook but I would be a fun experiment, why not try it out?

So, you would do all these things, and making it super detailed is how you create better content than other people.

Whether it’s images, videos that you also want to add to your articles.

Whether it’s having a custom designer go in there and create graphics for you, all that adds up.

You want your content to be better. This is the most important part in this step.

It’s not using my Backlinks tool, you can use anyone else’s tool if you want, mine’s just free.

It’s nothing else.

This step, the second one, is the most important.

Now, the last step you need to take, you need to email out everyone linking to your competition and break down why your article’s better.

Most of it is manual labor on your end, and that’s why a lot of people don’t have links. It’s because they don’t want to take the time to build all those links, it’s just so time-consuming.

With you, if you’re willing to do that, you’ll outpace your competition, rank higher, and gobble up their traffic.

  1. How do you build backlinks? Well, I'm guessing most of you don't build them at all, and I'm curious altogether because there is a really simple way to do this.

    It does require hard work, I'm not going to tell you that you're just going to get these links in, wave a magic wand and do nothing, but if you're willing to do the work it's not hard to get these backlinks.

  2. Hey Neil, I'm trying to find out the name of the website that you mentioned in one of your videos, which provides a lot of free tools such as calculators. What was the name of that website?

  3. I hope you still check these comments since this video was from 2 years ago… 🙏🏽 My question is: do you ask the referring site to take down the content linked to the other websites? Won't that create 404 errors for them?

  4. Hello Neil, I don't want to know about how to make a pizza. I subscribed you about the topic which I want to learn. if you making Backlink tutorial please talk about Backlink not about the pizza.

  5. So it is not about creating back link, it is about writing article better than your competitor, so that people will find it interesting and mention that in their websites… That is a probability… now the question is .. who is going to make back link for my best written article, to get the people to read?

  6. Is there a difference between external links and outbound links ?
    My Tutor said there is a difference and asked me to find it and I'm struggling to find the difference between them. So, can you help me?

  7. I own a roofing company, I'm developing my website, and adding pages… I would like to build backlinks that will be tracked, and I can change the destination URL at a later date without having to go to all the other websites and change the URL one by one..

    (example.. listing on a storm repair website, blog post, or automated facebook posts about storms. for now the link points to my only page. "/home" but in the future I would like to have customers coming from storm repairs to land on my /stormrepair page.) can I do that with a URL that points to a /stormrepairs landing page that redirects in 0 seconds to my /home? would that ruin the SEO since it's a link to a page with no content?

  8. Really confused?
    Where do I post these amazing articles I am rewriting to outdo the competition? I kind of get what your tool does, but I feel many steps are left out?
    Who am I emailing these articles too and what am I asking of them?

    Is there a more thorough step by step instruction video somewhere?
    I am not a web guy, just a small business owner.

  9. I always open your video and regret it. all your videos purpose is to educate people to know why buying you services is good for their business. you should share something for free from time to time man!!

  10. That's an amazing valuable video NEIL SIR! Although I'm late here it's worth a watch. Going to implement it.

    But don't you think that long articles and blogs gonna become boring and people might push off that will give us a bounce rate despite of writing SUPER amazing Content! What's your Opinion?

  11. Bro, some products have a thousand back links …. Even if I would have to do this for 100 backlinks id go from semiretired back to 80 hour weeks …. No thanks …. If it’s legal I would buy them 🤷🏻‍♂️

  12. Here I would like to ask three questions. Although it might sound difficult to answer but still I am asking that's how did you build this too much backlinks ?? Did you ever pay for backlink for your site to rank?? Another, after looking through closely all high level sites whose position in between 1 to 10 in SERP for a given topic having links from sites who sell backlinks in particular. Moreover, they all have very high DA. So, my question is why they give you backlink without paying them ?? What strategy would you follow in this case??? Thanks in advance for replying.

  13. New to Backlinks. So what does the other site do in relations to the article you send via email to them when you reach out?
    Do they feature it on their page or a specific blog post with a hyperlink text back to your page or something along those lines?

  14. You are a hero in SEO. I do accept. But didn't reveal your original strategies. Because you are afraid that new Neil patels will come and beat you. 😂. That is why your videos are having no value but making some confusion among us. Remember you are not a super man. One time will come to see your ego and envy gone wrong.
