Suggest assets to earn backlinks (link bait)
The best links is the links that comes naturally because of great content – so called “earned links” – or assets that others love.
At the same time it’s also the hardest task to succeed with as it requires something special.
Ask ChatGPT to suggest some assets that could potentially attract a lot of links.
Prompt:
I own an [your store/shop – for example online pet shop]. Generate a list of digital assets I could create to attract backlinks.
Find link opportunities
Before you can start your outreach campaign you need to know who to contact – or find places to add your company website.
Here is a prompt to find businesses allowing others to add guest posts.
Prompt:
Find me guest post opportunities for my website about [your topic]. Provide me a list of [X number] sites ranking on [topic] or which have a “write for us” page. Provide me only domain names without a numbered list.
Guest post outreach
This prompt is not really a tip to find link building opportunities but rather a help to you when you have located interesting websites to get a link from by offering awesome content as guest posts.
Every receiver of outreach e-mails will ultimately have one big argument for link requests: What’s in it for me?
They didn’t ask for you to contact them and they are probably not going to spend more than a few seconds on cold requests like you and me asking them for a link.
Would you?
I know that I wouldn’t as for the ton of requests I get on a daily basis. (so, are you one of the ones thinking about writing me for a link from Morningscore: Make sure to do your homework and tell me what’s in it for me right away – after all, I’m not here to link to you 😉).
So, this prompt will help you do your homework and offer something of real value. Give before you ask.
Use the following prompt to come up with awesome content ideas that you can create for them in return for a link.
Prompt:
I am an expert in [your or their industry]. I want to pitch guest blog post ideas to [their website], which focuses on [relevant topic]. Please list 10 unique and compelling blog post titles that they don’t already have and that would complement their current content, and appeal to their audience, along with a brief description of what each post would cover and why it would be valuable to their readers.
Here is how it looks:
Now that you have your offerings in place it’s time to generate the e-mail and sell the idea!
Follow up with this prompt to generate an e-mail that is presenting your offer (which in reality is a link request):
Follow up prompt:
Write a personal, human-like outreach e-mail to the website owner of Morningscore. I am requesting for a backlink but I want an outreach e-mail that focuses on selling the idea of me offering the website owner a great piece of content that is valuable for them, their audience and that have the potential to attract more relevant organic traffic to their website and I only want a backlink in return for spending hours on a comprehensive, relevant and high quality content for them.
Find online company directories
Especially for local companies the online directories is valuable – but also for national or even international sites because of the link value.
Get ChatGPT to find online directories for you by using this prompt.
Prompt:
Find me 20 local business directories for [topic] in [location].
Try this prompt with different amounts and locations that could be relevant for you.
Be aware that ChatGPT can provide false information from directories that doesn’t exist or even irrelevant directories.
Find relevant online forums
Depending on how broad your niche is there is probably a good amount of online forums discussing relevant subject which you can use for getting backlinks and also provide relevant information to the discussion.
Here is a prompt to find relevant forums.
Prompt:
Find forums for [topic] discussions. Create a table with links to the forums.
Find unlinked brand mentions
One of the easiest and first steps of your link building strategy should be to grab the lowest hanging fruits by locating the pages that already mention your brand.
You can find unlinked brand mentions manually using the following search on Google: intext:[your brand] –[yourdomain.com] -linkedin.com -youtube.com -twitter.com – or get ChatGPT to help you out by using the following prompt:
Prompt:
Search the internet and find [X number] pages that mentions [your brand] but doesn’t link to [your website URL].
You might want to regenerate the answer a couple of times as it doesn’t always comply fully to the prompt. For example, I asked for 10 results but only got 3. Regenerate the answer to get more.
Remember that ChatGPT can “lie” or report false information. In this case you could get brand mentions that already contain links to your site so check the page before adding to your outreach list.
Also, it’s likely that you won’t get a direct link to the exact URL that mentions your brand and you have to find the page yourself based on the description about what the page is about that mentions your brand.
Below is the mentioned page from Rock Content that mentions Morningscore but doesn’t link:
When you have collected a good list of websites that talks about your brand without linking you can ask ChatGPT to output an outreach e-mail to send to the website owners and ask for the links.
This approach will undoubtably have a higher succesrate than could e-mails that is often just archived by the receiver.
Prompt:
Write a personal, human-like outreach e-mail to the website owners that mentions my brand without linking and ask politely for a link.
