How to Build Quora Backlinks That Actually Provide Value
My approach to finding Quora questions that are actually valuable as backlinks is to use SEMrush to find Quora questions that are already on page one of Google for long-tail keywords that are relevant to the content I'm trying to rank.
Then I go to semrush.com and go to quora.com and look at organic research > positions.
The returned screen shows you all of the questions and related keywords that quora.com ranks for regarding the keyword backlinks. To collect all questions URLs, I export this page into a CSV file.
I will then answer all the questions on page one. This gets my site indexed the fastest and often drives traffic. For instance, quora.com ranks first for “editorial backlink”.
So I go to the relative question URL and add an answer.
I answer the questions with a short sentence, a few tips, and then link to the post I’m building backlinks for.
The URL that you get forwarded to is the link you need Google to index. To quickly get this Quora link indexed, put it on your Find Us Online page.
Then request indexing from Google Search Console of your find us online page.
In time, these Quora backlinks that you build will get indexed. Below is a screenshot of links in search console to one of my sites.
Finally, move on to the next link you pulled from SEMrush. You don’t need to request indexing for your find us online page every time. Google will only crawl that link about once a month. Ask search console to crawl that page at the beginning of every month.
Are Quora links nofollow?
Linking to Quora is nofollow. However, while they don't have the same impact as a do follow link, they are a great way to diversify your backlink portfolio and build linguistic context around whatever you're trying to rank.
What is the best way to use Quora backlinks?
Building acquired links with Quora backlinks will provide you with a more natural backlink profile. In addition to Quora, Pinterest and Houzz, I also use Google+ for backlink building.
What is the best way to get backlinks from Quora?
Because Pinterest ties so much of Quora's content together, it's a useful backlinking tool. In addition to building backlinks to your content quickly and effectively, Quora has the potential to drive massive amounts of traffic to your site.
