How to do this Growth Hack and what can it do for you?
ATTENTION: This growth hack remains at the legal limit, and must therefore be done carefully. It is everyone's responsibility to use it
Any serious or authoritative website uses “white hat” SEO strategies in a long-term SEO approach.
However, taking an interest in black hat techniques can be interesting as a complement to gain a few backlinks or climb in search engines.
Expected results of this Growth Hack
- Type of marketing tactic: creation of backlinks thanks to small donations on crowdfunding projects
- Expected result: Increase in the number of Backlinks and the visibility of your website
Why do this Growth Hack?
Any serious website (news or others) respects copyright legislation. For example, images can only be used based on the license status associated with them.
Sometimes, a reputable and authoritative website will display an image whose copyright it does not know and will generally write “Unknown Copyright”, “'Unknown Author'”, etc...
Use this opportunity to claim copyright and ask the website for a free backlink.
How do you do this Growth Hack?
What you need to do for this Growth Hack is to use a Google Dork, to find images without copyright to claim ownership.
Contact the author of the website by finding the author's contact details using Hunter.io or on the site of GoDaddy on the page of verifying website owners.
Ask him to credit you, and if he does, you could get a free backlink.
PS: Being a “special” backlink, I don't mention it in my article where I cite different backlink creation strategies.
