After my On-Page SEO checklist, I will share my off-page SEO checklist, which you can refer for off-page search engine optimization. I can say that off-page search engine optimization is more critical than On-Page SEO. I do not deny that On-Page plays a vital role in it but still. While doing this, we should be cautious to avoid any penalty. That is where you can make mistakes unknowingly, which can affect your overall ranking because of search engine penalty.
Here is my Off-Page SEO checklist, as per my experience and the things I have noticed in my works, maybe I missed out something. Still, these points are good to enjoy for the beginner who just started the job.
Before you start working on off-page search engine optimization, I must recommend avoiding any black hat methods. Some of the black hat service providers may promise you to give immediate benefits. However I suggest you keep your hands out of such services, they will only cause a penalty. You may see an improvement in the starting, but I bet you that it would not be the last longer, sooner or later it would get caught by search engine and then you know, what would happen after that.
Let’s start with off-page SEO methods one by one:
Build quality do-follow backlinks
A first and very efficient method for off-page optimization is to build quality do-follow backlink. You can check out my following posts to better understand these terms and know the tricks, that will help you make such links superfast.

Use social networking sites as an advantage
You can take the benefits of social networking sites like Facebook, Google Plus, and Twitter to promote your content. Google search algorithm considers social signals while ranking a web page to be active on them. If you are already using these mediums, then it’s okay. Still, if you are not, I would suggest you first build a Good community of followers. Those interested in your niche, and then share useful posts with them. It will also help to bring traffic to your blog.
Increase RSS feed subscriber
The more number of subscriber you have, the more targeted traffic you will get. I would suggest you place a subscription box in your sidebar so that the readers who love to visit your blog, can subscribe to your feeds. This way, whenever you publish a new post, your loyal readers will get to know about it, and you will get a visit from your regular reader. Is not it good? It is always good to have a few targeted visitors rather than a massive number of one time visitors. If you are new in this field and not using any feed service, I recommend you try to free Feedburner service. Also, you can refer my post how to add Feedburner email subscription box to WordPress.
Google analytics
Track the ranking with Google optimize and analytics your post for the keyword. Your web page is ranking higher in search engine. Sometimes weird things happen, we optimize the position for some other keyword. Still, our webpage gets good ranking for some other keyword phrase, which we didn’t even think about. So it’s better to track keywords ranking in Google analytics.
Blog commenting
Everybody know this term very well, so I don’t need to elaborate this, sigh!! Comment on blogs/websites in the same niche.
Guest posting
Writing a guest post is a very effective way to build quality backlink. At the same time, it’s a good source of traffic too. Its a time-consuming approach but yeah it’s 100% full proof, and you can be very sure about any of the Google updates like a penguin, panda etc. would not hit you in future.
Dofollow forums posting
