How to Link to a Website from a WordPress Post
If you’re looking to create a backlink from an article on your website to a specific product or service on another site, you’ve probably tried to find ways to do this without too much trouble. However, when you’re trying to do this for the first time, it can be rather difficult to know what’s the best strategy to follow. In this article, we will discuss some of the basics of getting a backlink from an article on your website to a product or service on another site.
Find The Best Product Or Service
The first and most critical step to getting a backlink from another website is to find the best product or service to link to. After all, you can’t expect a website to give you a link if you don’t have anything of value to offer. So, to find the best product or service, you’ll want to browse through various websites that cover similar topics to yours and decide which one offers the best quality.
To begin with, you should look for products or services that are highly relevant to your niche. For example, if you’re an e-commerce store, you might want to look for products that are related to selling online or digital marketing. Or, if you’re a magazine, you might want to look for products that are related to advertising or marketing in general.
Create A Product Name And Description
After you’ve decided which product or service to link to, you need to create a product name and description for it. For example, if you’ve decided that an electric guitar is the best product to link to, you might want to create a product name such as “The Best Electric Guitar,” and a description such as “An electric guitar designed by famous guitar player [insert your name here] which he used to play on stage during the [insert famous band’s name here] shows.” So, in this case, the product name would be “The Best Electric Guitar,” and the description would be “An electric guitar designed by famous guitar player [insert your name here] which he used to play on stage during the [insert famous band’s name here] shows.”
You can also create product tags to help digital marketers find and categorize your product. For example, if you’re selling ice cream and you create a product tag such as “ice cream,” customers can enter this in the search bar of their browser and find all the products related to them. So, if you have a lot of products, creating these tags can help you find what you’re looking for much faster.
Find Similar (or Related) Products
Once you’ve created a product name and description, it’s time to find similar products. This is done mostly through trial and error, but there are a few tricks to finding similar products easily. One trick is to look for a combination of words and/or phrases that are commonly used together. For example, if you’re trying to market a digital marketing product, you might want to look for phrases such as “online marketing,” “email marketing,” and “social media.” Alternatively, you could look for a combination of words and/or phrases that are used together in the same way that your product is used. For example, if you sell luxury goods online, you could try to find products that contain the words “luxury,” “finance,” “investment,” or “bank.”
Choose Your Platform
The next step is to decide which platform you’ll use to distribute your product. There are a few different options here, so try to decide which one is the best for your needs. One of the important things to consider is the reach of the platform. Remember, you’re looking for a backlink, so you want to choose a platform that has the potential to reach a massive audience. If you have a limited budget, you might want to consider using a platform that has a free option or a freemium option. A freemium option gives you the basic version of the platform for free, and then offers you additional features (such as analytics, a shopping cart, etc.) if you pay for a premium subscription.
Create The Link
Once you’ve found a suitable platform, it’s time to create the link to the product or service you’ll be promoting. To create the link, simply follow these steps:
- Go to the product’s or service’s website.
- On the menu bar, click on the “Edit” button.
- Click on the “Website” option under the “All Pages” menu.
- Click on the “+” sign to insert a link to the product or service you’ve found.
- Type in a relevant keyword for the product or service you’re promoting, followed by the brand’s website in the format www.example.com (i.e. www.bestbuyget.com).
- Then click on the “Save” button.
Now that you have a backlink, it’s time to verify that it works. To do this, you’ll first need to visit the website that the link took you to. When you get to the site, you’ll want to perform a few basic tasks to verify that it’s working correctly. For example, if the link took you to a product page, you might want to check the details of the product, or try out the product (if it’s a digital product such as an e-book or a software download). If you have a limited amount of time, you can usually perform these tasks within a few minutes. So, once you’ve verified that the link is working correctly, it’s time to find more!
