How to Avoid Link Dumping: Tips on Thoughtful & Effective Link Sharing

Content marketing is about getting as many of the right eyes on your content as possible, making a connection, and building trust. You need people to be spending time reading your blog posts, downloading your research papers, and signing up to your webinars and newsletters. It can be infuriating when the platform algorithms make it so darn difficult to get our links to our content in front of potential clients and customers. 

We don’t add value if we just dump links, but there are thoughtful and effective ways that you can share your important links, without alienating your audience and being punished by the algorithms. 

In the second co-hosted episode of The Content 10x Podcast, host Amy Woods and Marketing Manager Jason Morton unpack link dumping, what it means, why it’s a big no-no, and how to share links in a way that adds to your posts, rather than is the purpose of your post.  

Find out: 

• What link dumping is (and how to tell if you’re doing it!) 
• The impacts of link dumping 
• How to avoid it and what to do instead
