It has become common-sense that by investing in SEO, you invest in your website\u2019s organic traffic and reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"lwptoc_i\">\n<h2><span id=\"On-Page_SEO_vs_Off-Page_SEO\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #ff6600; font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><b>On-Page SEO vs. Off-Page SEO<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">These are the two main categories of actions you can undertake to optimize your site and improve its ranking. None of it is more important than another. While some website owners concentrate\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/whats-better-on-page-seo-or-link-building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>70% of their attention on on-page<\/u><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and 30% on off-page SEO, the other can put it vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0So let us discover the difference between these strategies and what will work best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span id=\"What_Is_On-Page_SEO\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #ff6600; font-size: 24pt;\">What Is On-Page SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Basically, on-page SEO implies everything you fully have control over. All of your manipulations, in this case, concern the content of your site or its code. Here are some of the most basic examples of on-page SEO targets:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">content quality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">keyword density;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">anchor text;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">internal links;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">HTML tags;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">URL structure;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">site performance;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">image quality, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0All of this is fundamental for your further development. That is why you should concentrate solely on on-page aspects when launching your business or going through the earliest stages of your SEO journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span id=\"What_Is_Off-Page_SEO\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 24pt; color: #ff6600;\">What Is Off-Page SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">As soon as you are sure you have quality content to share what deserves to be seen, you might have to think about using off-page SEO techniques. These are all the actions that you can influence only indirectly. They may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">link building;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">guest posting;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">blog commenting;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">social media activity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">reviews;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">brand mentions, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0With these off-page SEO instruments, you will step up your game and make your content visible to the target audience. These actions may result in Google\u2019s seeing your account as trustworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Best_Off-Page_SEO_Techniques\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 24pt; color: #ff6600;\"><strong><b>Best Off-Page SEO Techniques<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"1_Link_Building_Guest_Posting\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 24pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>1) Link Building &amp; Guest Posting<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Link building is undoubtedly a thing that people mention mostly when talking about off-page SEO. The reason is that it is actually one of the most effective tools to increase traffic to your page and improve your SE-ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0In sum, a backlink is simply a link from one page to another. And it is a powerful signal for search engines that your website possesses some valuable content and is appreciated by other websites. However, not all types of links work the same way. Moreover, some of them may harm your website\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Link-Building-Strategies-To-Build-A-Strong-Backlink-Profile-HostNamaste.jpg\" alt=\"Link Building Strategies To Build A Strong Backlink Profile - HostNamaste\" width=\"769\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Link-Building-Strategies-To-Build-A-Strong-Backlink-Profile-HostNamaste.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Link-Building-Strategies-To-Build-A-Strong-Backlink-Profile-HostNamaste-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0It is crucial to have a <strong><b>natural backlink profile<\/b><\/strong>. In this case,\u00a0<em><i>unnatural linking\u00a0<\/i><\/em>means a combination of factors that make the profile suspicious and can be banned by Google as the one that manipulates search engines. To avoid this, you should know some basic terms of your backlink strategy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">the links come from\u00a0<strong><b>authoritative\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>pages;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">the links appear not isolated, but in a specific\u00a0<strong><b>context<\/b><\/strong>, surrounded by relevant information;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">there is a meaningful\u00a0<strong><b>anchor text\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>to make the link unobtrusive;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">both\u00a0<strong><b>dofollow\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>and\u00a0<strong><b>nofollow\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>links are implemented.\u00a0<em><i>Dofollow\u00a0<\/i><\/em>links are taken into account by search engines while ranking your page, so they are more valuable. But the excess of their number can make your backlink profile unnatural. While\u00a0<em><i>nofollow\u00a0<\/i><\/em>links remain unnoticed, they still bring you desired traffic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Guest posting is a popular way to build your natural backlink profile. You write an informative and engaging post for a blog from a relevant branch and mention your site in a context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0A tricky part of this process is to find <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/how-to-start-a-blog\/\"><strong>reliable blogs<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Luckily, certain services do that job for you, and you can simply submit a guest post, get natural links: dofollow vs. nofollow backlinks<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>effortlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"2_Brand_Mentions\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 24pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>2) Brand Mentions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Google counts\u00a0both linked brand mentions\u00a0<em><i>(express links)<\/i><\/em>\u00a0and linkless mentions\u00a0<em><i>(implied links)<\/i><\/em>. Backlinks always relate to express links and have more value for your SEO strategy, as they are clickable and bring more referral traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0However, if your brand is mentioned without a direct hyperlink, Google takes it into account as well as linked mentions. So, they are also a huge ranking factor and can contribute to your website\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">There are several ways in which you can get brand mentions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">guest posting;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">blogger outreach;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">being a guest on podcasts, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0Another type of brand mentions is NAP citations. Based upon its name (NAP = Name, Address, Phone), it implies mentioning your business along with its name, location, and phone number.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"3_Social_MediaInfluencer_Marketing\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 24pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>3) Social Media\/Influencer Marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">You cannot overestimate the impact of SMM in your off-page SEO strategy.
