I truly consider them as the best source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bloggers are willing to link to your website, but you\u2019ll need to give something. That could be either great content, money, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that there are many useless blogs out there. Some of them are spammy, and some are entirely irrelevant to your niche. Thus, getting such a link is worthless at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching for the right blog to use can be very time-consuming. So we are launching a new feature that will help you make this work much more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main ways to get do-follow links from blogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Write a guest post. The post should meet the requirements of the blog, so that could be hard work. Also, you never know how well that post will rank.<\/li><li>Add a link to an existing post. This method is called link insertions or niche edits. There are some advantages to this method, and I\u2019ll cover those in a second.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_40 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" area-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-6a07d48eb03c7\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-6a07d48eb03c7\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/link-insertions-niche-edit\/1248\/#Link_Insertions\" title=\"Link Insertions\">Link Insertions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/link-insertions-niche-edit\/1248\/#Our_Implementation\" title=\"Our Implementation\">Our Implementation<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/link-insertions-niche-edit\/1248\/#Blogs_Tailored_for_your_Keywords\" title=\"Blogs Tailored for your Keywords\">Blogs Tailored for your Keywords<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/link-insertions-niche-edit\/1248\/#Great_Value_Blogs_in_Your_Niche\" title=\" Great Value Blogs in Your Niche\"> Great Value Blogs in Your Niche<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/link-insertions-niche-edit\/1248\/#Finishing_the_Order\" title=\"Finishing the Order\">Finishing the Order<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Link_Insertions\"><\/span>Link Insertions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss the advantages of using link insertions over guest posting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You don&#8217;t need to write content and edit it later to meet the requirements of the blog.<\/li><li>Usually, it is cheaper.<\/li><li>You can pick posts that already rank for your desired keywords and create significant value for your keywords in Google\u2019s eyes.
