How to Keep Your Link Building Organized

Make sure your links are easily accessible and manageable.

Link building is one of the most effective ways to increase organic traffic to your website and rank higher in search engines. Inbound links are beneficial, but can get disorganized and become easy to lose track of.

Keep an eye on all of your links; tracking their progress to make sure you are obtaining value from each source. 

There are several ways to keep your link building organized:

 

Maintain a List

To manage your links easily, the simplest way is to organize a list of them.

Your list can be in any document format and within any app (e.g. Evernote, Google Sheets, etc.).

An organized list should have the following information:

  • The website’s names
  • The dates your links were published
  • URLs
  • Contact information
  • The website’s metrics (Alexa rank, Domain Authority, etc.)
  • Any additional notes

 

Use External Tools

There are several applications and tools that can help the process of organizing your links.

These tools also allow you to monitor the progress of your competitors so that you can strategize a combative SEO plan for your website.

 

Set Calendar Reminders

A simple organization hack to keep your link building organized is setting reminders.

Use an app or write a note on a paper calendar to help you stay focused on the outreach aspects of your link building. Calendar reminders can keep you aware of when to follow up with people.

Reminders can also help you stay up-to-date on checking for new links you may have gotten.
