The Gaming/ Gambling niche can be one of the most competitive online when it comes to link building, it can also be the most difficult to drive ideas when building links in this niche. I have decided to put together 10 ideas with the help of some team members of some ideas you can test for the gaming niche –
1. Company Specific Pages & Niche ideas –
– Create a page where you mention every company you deal with (Accountants, water delivery company, etc) Inform them that you’ve made this public & give them a positive testimonials on their service and suggest that you are so happy with the service that it would be a honor if they would publish it on their website. The company logo or company name should link back your website.
2. Sponsor/Buy a Gaming forum –
Not only will you get access to the Gaming forum users, but also get your website linked from it from numerous sections of the forums.
This strategy can also be expanded to Gaming blogs for example.
3. Publish Articles relevant to Gaming –
Write relevant articles for industry sites, topics such as Winning Gaming online and anything which will drive traffic to the target site. Quite an age old tactic tho it still works if done correctly.
4. PR submission –
News Worthy article ie: List of services and good causes that all the different gaming sites support.
