What is HARO Link Building?

In simple terms, HARO is a platform that connects journalists and bloggers with subject experts. There, journalists post queries and the experts provide insights or quotes. Journalists often receive several pitches, to which they then choose the best ones for their articles.

As a courtesy, they usually link back to the expert’s website to credit them when using their input. This arrangement benefits both parties because the writers get access to credible sources for content creation, while experts gain exposure and valuable backlinks.

Why is HARO Link Building great for SEO?

HARO is great for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) because it provides an opportunity to earn high-quality backlinks from reputable websites. This is especially beneficial. HARO link building offers benefits, including:

Global Reach

HARO has a global reach, connecting experts with journalists and bloggers from various countries and regions. This presents an opportunity to get featured and earn backlinks from international publications, which would further expand your reach to diverse audiences across different regions and languages.

Authoritative backlinks

When journalists and bloggers use insights or quotes from experts through HARO, they typically link back to the expert’s website. These backlinks come from established publications and websites, which search engines like Google view as authoritative sources.

Relevant backlinks

Backlinks from HARO are trustworthy because they are placed within your content that is related to the expert’s field. Search engines value these relevant links highly because they help confirm the expert’s authority and relevance in their area of expertise.

Anchor text

When linking to an expert’s website, journalists often use the expert’s name or a relevant keyword as the anchor text. This can help reinforce the relevance and authority of the linked website for those specific keywords or topics.

Increased online visibility

By being featured and mentioned in articles on authoritative websites, experts can gain increased online visibility, leading to more organic traffic and potential new business opportunities.

What makes a good backlink in HARO Link-Building?

There are plenty of ways to define a good backlink. The table below outlines the key factors that contribute to a high-quality backlink in HARO Link Building.

Factor	Explanation
High Authority Website	A backlink from a reputable website carries more weight than multiple links from lower-quality sites. We assess website authority using the DR (Domain Rating) metric from Ahrefs. While not all HARO links are from top-tier domains, our service ensures payment only for qualifying ones.
“Dofollow” Attribute	Effective backlinks should have the “dofollow” attribute, signifying to search engines to follow and count the link toward ranking. Not all HARO links are “dofollow,” but our service guarantees payment for qualifying ones.
Link Placement	Backlinks placed within the main body of text are more valuable than those in footers or sidebars.
Fewer Links on the Referring Page	The value of a backlink increases with fewer total links on the referring page. Links from directories and link farms, with several outbound links, are less beneficial.

Choosing the right one to support your goal will rely on specific needs and available resources.

What are the other things you should know about HARO Link-Building?

Although HARO is an effective platform for earning high-quality backlinks from reputable publications, there are several things to keep in mind when considering HARO link-building:

1. Publications happen with a delay – the fastest was 2 days, slowest was 6 months after pitching. You’ll eventually get links, but speed isn’t guaranteed.

2. Sources can’t directly contact journalists or follow up after submitting a HARO pitch.

3. 1 in 3 times, journalist/publication details are anonymous. Some links may be on low domain authority sites with little SEO value, but you only pay for qualifying links.

4. Expect 3-5 HARO links per month starting Month 2. It provides quality links but not on a big scale.

5. Most HARO links stay live indefinitely, but publications can update/remove content without notice.

What are Qualifying Links?

Qualifying Links are high-value backlinks that meet the strict criteria to boost SEO. These links effectively improve search rankings and website authority for several reasons:

Criteria	Description
High Authority	Links from websites with strong domain authority are typically measured using metrics like DR (Domain Rating) by Ahrefs or DA (Domain Authority) by Moz. These websites are well-respected and trusted within their industries.
Relevance	Links that are contextually relevant to your industry or niche. This ensures that the backlinks are valuable and aligned with the content on your website.
Dofollow Attribute	Links that pass on SEO value to your website are known as “dofollow” links. These are essential for boosting your website’s search engine rankings.
Editorial Placement	Links that are naturally embedded within the body of the text, rather than placed in sidebars, footers, or as a list of references. Editorial placement shows a higher level of endorsement and relevance.
Unique Referring Domains	Links from unique domains, meaning that each backlink comes from a different website. This diversity is important for building a robust and varied backlink profile.
Low Link-to-Text Ratio	Links placed on pages with a low number of total links. Fewer links on a page mean each one carries more value and is less likely to be seen as spammy by search engines.
