2. Give Photos Away for Free
If there's one thing that every web user loves, it's free stuff!
Letting people share and use your photos for free is an easy and effective way to earn backlinks.
All you have to do is find any uncredited photos and send an email to the webmasters asking gambling database taiwan them to link back to your website as a thank you for the image.
Daniel Gillaspia, CEO of UponArriving , has a passion for photography and uses this strategy to get lots of backlinks to his photos.
First, he uploads his photos to Flickr and allows use via Creative Commons. Then, using his name as a search term or by doing a reverse image search, he looks for websites that have used his photos without linking to him.
"When I find a website that uses my photo, I send an email and ask them nicely to link to my website. Most websites are quite understanding and will happily link to my website.
I think a backlink is more than a fair deal when you consider how hard I worked for some of those images and that I'm allowing them to use them for free."
This practice is called link reclamation
