How can you earn backlinks, rather than just build them?

Backlinks are known to be an important factor for SEO, and many try to build backlinks. But here I would like to discuss how you can earn them instead. Or, another way to word it, does your website deserve backlinks? I believe that as long as your site is user-centric, then you can expect happy users who are willing to form part of your marketing, sometimes without them realizing it. They will be happy to share your content, return to your site and help you to get backlinks. So focus on content that pleases the user, is well researched and has a certain depth and value.

A really great way to generate natural links is to open your site up so people can post their own content, case studies and reviews. This could also back fire because people will just place links inside their content on your website in order to gain a backlink from your website. But don't worry, you can just make all the links nofollow, or even easier, you can make it so that links cannot be placed within content. Now the only reason someone will post nowadays is so they can get some traffic from you. If they can't post a link, they won't post at all on your website, usually. Offer them a signature link and allow 1 link to their website that is nofollow. They can benefit from your traffic, but they won't get an SEO boost from the link itself. You'll have to monitor every post because people are tricky and will try to get traffic from you in any way possible ;)

On each new post there should be a set of social sharing buttons so anyone can share the content from your pages. This will entice your traffic to share a post they like on their facebook profile, google plus page, twitter profile, website, blog, email it to people, etc. This is a pretty common practice and I can see people getting blind to these types of sharing options since almost every blog now has them as a standard.

The best way to get people to share is to offer them something in return. If they are a writer for your website or blog, give them additional points that will help rank them up in order to get access to more posting features. Give them pretty little badges on their signature and profile after they hit XX amount of points, and the only way to gain points is to be active on the blog or website and share the content they are writing.

A neat little trick is to have a big drop down that tells them to share the recent post as soon as they click "Post" or "Submit" or whatever your "Enter" icon/button says. This will get you more shares and if you are giving bonuses per share, you will see an increase in natural links this way How can you earn backlinks, rather than just build them?

Yes I agree that social sharing buttons are a must nowadays that so many people use social media platforms. I guess that as a general rule of thumb it is always best to go for something that is visually appealing and readable, and to be creative and unique. By doing so you are on the right track to get more social shares, blog comments, etc.

You got me confused with the new idea about backlinks. To be honest, I am having a hard time with my comprehension of backlinks especially with the no-follow and do-follow. With what you said about natural links when users would post their link on your website, I wonder how that can create a backlink for you. What I understand is that the user had created his backlink on your site. Will there be a backlink of your site on the user’s site?

Lists are very important link-bait, that is content which other users will link to. Most times, it's just easier for a blogger or site owner to link to your good content than to take time to create their own. So put the effort into generating the highest quality, lengthy viral content including lists, case-studies, interviews with experts and infographics and then get out there and associate with your niche community (related blogs via comments and Twitter/Facebook/Google groups) and you'll get so many backlinks in return for that quality content without even having to ask.
