Context backlinks are powerful because they are created within a content context. In other words, people didn't just link their names on a blog comment or use a naked URL in some sort of a Web 2.0 or forum profile.
Instead, these links appear "naturally" within relevant content. If you want to maximize the value of your context backlinks, you should do guest posts on niche-related blogs and websites.
The niche relevance would increase the SEO value of those links. Still,
a little bit of context can go a long way when it comes to backlink firepower.
How do you maximize context? Well, pay attention to the following factors.
- What's the niche of the site the backlink appears on?
- Is the backlink using an anchor tag that is directly related to your target keyword.
- Is the backlink coming from a piece of content that is directly related to your site?
- Does the page naturally get traffic [Does the page the backlink appears in naturally get traffic from Google?
The more contextual your backlinks, the more powerful they are.
Let me clue you in on a secret.
High-context backlinks are not easy to get. But they are definitely worth your time because they give you a competitive advantage.
Your competitors would have to jump through many hoops to get such links. If you put in the time and go through all that extra effort, you will be able to beat your competitors. They, on the other hand, would focus on cheaper and easier links.
