5. Link to Your Blog from Social Media Profiles
Social media websites are huge sites that have a huge number of inbound links from all over the web. This makes them a great place to put a link to your website: Google can follow that link from your social media profile to find your website.

Of course, it also makes a lot of sense to include your co to za numer nl in your bio – and to post links to your blog’s content. That way, you’ll hopefully get some people clicking through from social media to view your website.

Make sure that all your social media profiles include a link to your website. There’ll usually be a special section for this, but you can usually add one (or more!) links in your bio, like I do on Twitter:

While these links won’t get too much action in the early days of your blogging journey (unless you’re super active on a particular social media channel), they still serve an important purpose to help your blog rank higher on Google.

By pointing links to your website from highly authoritative websites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and others, you’re giving Google crawling bots a link to follow to your site. And that’s how trust & authority gets conveyed online.

To maximize your chances, write blog posts that are long-form in nature. Definitions of “long-form” content vary widely, but most people would agree it means writing at least 1,000 words, and more like 1,500 or more. Blog posts under 1,000 words are much less likely to rank highly—see more in my guide about how long a blog post should be.
