What is a niche edit?
A niche edit is similar to blogger outreach, but instead of posting a whole new article onto another site, you simply add a snippet with your link inside to fit within the context of an existing article. In the same manner as guest posting, these links then get picked up by Google and subsequently you will see a positive effect on your organic rankings and ultimately your leads and sales.
Benefits of niche edits
Some people often worry about niche edits as they believe editing old content could look unnatural, opting for more expensive guest posts instead. Though what we’ve seen from the recent updates, Google loves it when you edit and improve your content! Queue the niche edits.
Niche edits really are the holy grail of ROI when it comes to link building and here are a few reasons why:
-
-
- In a majority of cases, they are cheaper than guest posts, this is since bloggers feel that a fresh post is going to be on the homepage, seen by their user base and won’t be written by them.
- Any SEO knows that age is your friend, as a page gets older it's much more likely to rank in those top spots as well as potentially gained some natural links or even internals over time. More of that sweet sweet link juice for less money, hyper-inflation who?
- Some sites actually don’t accept one or the other so it opens your site up to a larger pool of potential placement links.
- We’ve grown sites purely on niche edits and we’ve never seen any risk associated with them, though it’s always best to build a diverse link profile including both niche edits and guest posts.
