Can new bloggers get backlinks?
Many pro bloggers claim that getting links is impossible for beginner bloggers. I used to adhere to this theory but have since changed my stance.
New bloggers can and do score backlinks from reputable bloggers. However, these select few master the concept of reciprocity early during their blogging careers. Making this shift feels alien to most newbies because you and I tend to think mainly about self, traffic and income potential versus thinking about serving others as our prime blogging intent.
Changing your new blogger mindset in terms of getting backlinks may feel highly uncomfortable. Most seem to fall prey to a strong “getting mechanism” that undercuts the backlink acquiring process. However, if you patiently, persistently and generously shift from trying to get links toward giving value you can and will score backlinks as a beginner blogger.
For the purposes of this post, new bloggers are bloggers who’ve published content for at least 2-4 months.
Why Backlinks Are Important
Backlinks serve as seals of approval from fellow bloggers.
Any blogger who links to your blog sees your domain and posts as being credible enough to earn a link.
Gaining backlinks increases your blog exposure. Other bloggers and their readers see your blog through link mentions via their blog posts. Traffic and profit potential increases as your backlinks increase.
Google factors backlinks into its algorithm. Gaining a link from a high authority site related to your niche makes your blog more trustworthy from Google’s perspective. However, getting backlinks from credible bloggers is not an easy task for a new blogger. Few beginners get links within the first few months of blogging because working many hours blogging the right way from a generous energy feels too uncomfortable a task for most.
Bloggers link to skilled bloggers who publish thorough content. Put in the work over a sustained time frame during your beginner blogger days to become skilled enough to score links.
Follow these tips to get backlinks as a new blogger.
Accept this Basic Idea
Bloggers give you links pointing to your blog because these bloggers get in-depth, detailed, helpful blog content from your blog.
New bloggers need to blog the right way generously, patiently and persistently to publish detailed, in-depth content worthy of drawing backlink attention. Few beginner bloggers get backlinks because they do not give:
- attention
- energy
- work
- focus
- generosity
enough to both publish dazzling content and to build a strong blogger friend network.
Get links by publishing in-depth content. Help fellow bloggers. Ask for nothing in return. Earn their friendship.
Eventually, bloggers will link to your blog posts based on the immense value you publish combined with the loyalty of your blogger friend network.
Fully Understand and Employ the Concept of Reciprocity
Get backlinks as a new blogger by giving freely of your:
- time
- talents
- skills
- energy
Naturally, no first day blogger gets backlinks because no first day blogger has time, talents and skills enough to warrant gaining backlinks. Bloggers link to trusted bloggers. Becoming a trusted blogger takes generous service multiplied by time.
Step into the concept of reciprocity. Get by giving. Get links by giving substantial time and energy to blogging correctly from day 1 of your blogging career.
Focus your attention and energy on this core concept: the more freely you give in terms of helping people the more easily you will succeed.
Beginner bloggers get backlinks months into their blogging careers because this crowd freely gives of their time and talents from day 1.
Improve Your Writing through Practice
Bloggers link to skilled writers.
Practice writing 500-1000 words daily offline to become a clear, confident writer worthy of gaining backlinks.
Beginner bloggers fully committed to polishing their writing skills through daily practice can get backlinks within a few months of beginning to blog. But newbies better practice writing for many hours during those months to gain credibility in the eyes of fellow bloggers.
No reputable blogger offers links like candy to a baby. All links from respected bloggers are earned. Earn links by practicing your writing. Hone your prime craft. Find a quiet room. Open a Word document. Write diligently on a daily basis. Blogging becomes easier for beginners who polish their writing skills. Seasoned bloggers take note of mindful writers to gain confidence through their patient practice.
Practical Tips
- practice writing 500-1000 words daily
- open a Word document to write offline
- write about either your blogging niche topic or any interest appealing to your mind; write about anything to simply gain confidence and clarity
Publish In-Depth Content Persistently
Publish in-depth content to score backlinks as a beginner blogger.
Thin content won’t cut it because pros and other veterans link to thorough, detailed resources to maintain their credibility.
Publish 1200 word or longer blog posts rich with:
- details
- practical, actionable tips
- easy to understand strategies
- simple techniques to put into practice
to catch the eye of bloggers keen on finding valued blog posts.
Publishing 1200 word or longer posts appeals to:
- readers hungry for rich resources
- bloggers from your niche on the lookout for resources to link to
because detailed long-form content offers readers and search engines alike a strong solution to some pressing problem.
Format blog posts effectively. Use short, crisp sentences to connect with readers. Divvy up with paragraphs and ample headers to make for easier reading and scanning. Employ:
- bullet point lists
- italics fonts
- bold fonts
to create a sense of contrast about your blog posts.
As for blog post frequency, intend to publish one long-form post every few weeks. Do a smash-up job with your first blog post then give yourself 1-2 weeks to write your 2nd in-depth, detailed blog post.
Engage in Genuine Blogger Outreach
Engage in a genuine blogger outreach campaign to gain exposure.
Connect with pro bloggers in your niche. Build friendships. Pop up on the radar screen of pro bloggers. Be seen. Position yourself to gain backlinks from impressed bloggers who value your content and friendship.
Blogger outreach executed from an authentic intent bonds you with fellow bloggers. People who appreciate your service and interest take an interest in you and your blog. Interested bloggers click through to your blog to learn more. From there, backlink opportunities multiply.

Never depend on Google alone for exposure as a new blogger. Fickle algorithms including a bias towards aged domains with strong authority makes gaining Google traffic highly challenging for beginners bloggers. Working an honest outreach campaign gives you exposure in like-minded blogging circles. One genuine blog comment published on a top blog from your niche gives you visibility. Bloggers and their readers see your name, link and valuable comment. Potential backlink opportunities sprout organically from your generous networking efforts.
Practical Tips
- publish genuine comments on blogs from your niche
- promote bloggers on your blog by linking to their helpful, thorough blog posts
- promote bloggers on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
Help bloggers without any expectation of receiving anything in return. Allow bonds to form naturally. Bloggers who gradually befriend you may link to your blog through their site for an organic backlink. Or perhaps these individuals promote you through social media to increase your exposure and boost your chances of gaining a backlink through their blogger buddy network.
