In this post I’m going to share off page SEO checklist that you can follow to improve search engine ranking. But before I begin let me tell you what is off page SEO?
Off Page SEO or search engine optimization is a strategy of doing things outside your blog to improve search engine ranking. And the only thing you can do outside your blog is building up backlinks.
More Backlinks = Better Search Engine Ranking
Remember when you are trying to build backlinks always focus on quality of links and not on the quantity.
Why?
A link or hundreds of links from low quality sites/blogs will have little or no impact on your ranking.
Let’s get started…
Create Social Networking Profiles
One of the most common mistake committed by newbie bloggers is not creating social networking profiles. It is the best way to promote your content and get backlinks. In fact Google considers social signals as a ranking factor so it’s time to create your social networking profile. Here are some social networking sites to start off.
Submit Articles To Social Bookmarking Sites
There are huge number of social bookmarking sites where you can submit your articles and get backlinks. Though it’s time-consuming it gives you more exposure and a huge amount of traffic. Here are some high authority bookmarking sites.
Write Guest Posts For High Authority Blogs
Guest blogging is one of the most popular way to get high quality backlinks. It has been used for many years and is still in use. By doing guest blogging you not only get backlink and traffic but it gives you brand exposure. Here are some high page rank blogs where you can submit your guest posts.
Leave Comment On Other Blogs
Don’t just read article, create a habit to leave comment. There are lots of blogs with dofollow comments from where you can easily get backlinks to your blog. It’s simple but a necessary method of Off Page SEO.

Hi Tesur, This is a nice post i must say. currently I’m optimizing one website project and i think that getting the back links are important .I’m new in this industry need some guidance how to get my website running better.
Hi Rajan. Nice post about off page activities. Creating profiles in social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc we can give branding to our site. Social media becomes the key in SEO now. Only fresh content can not give you high ranking. As you say we have to promote it in different bookmarking sites, social media etc. Nice job buddy. Thanks for sharing it.
