which you can use for your profile.

1. Identify the key sites in your niche. Every niche has prominent sites. Look for sites in the three categories above, and narrow down a list. If you haven’t identified your niche yet, it’s probably time to do so.
2. Mine their links. This is a very old SEO trick for quality links. Find out what sites are linking to the above sites. These are people who could be linking to you as well.
3. Make sure your site has link bait. It’s no use trying to build your link profile before you have completed your on-page SEO. Sites need a reason to link to you. If your site isn’t already high-ranking, the only reason you have is that you’re a quality site. Ensure that your content is up to scratch, and have some link bait prepared before you approach potential links.
