• Citation-based academic link building for sites in any niche

   

  The Citation-Based Academic Link Building (CBALB) is the ultimate effective SEO strategy, developed by PhilScience team to respond to the last Google core updates, including their AI-search component. It provides the client with both relevant expert content and authoritative backlinks, under the EEAT principle. The CBALB is totally different from the traditional (ineffective now) guest posting: Instead of posting an article on the target site just for acquiring a backlink from it (which is now detectable by Google algorithms), the client enriches its own site with useful content, which will be cited (with permanent link) in academic publications. The CBALB is based on an innovative two-step citation process, driven by academics with strong credentials.

  Citable expert content

  What content is the CBALB about? Journal articles can provide plenty of interesting, useful topics for the expert content of a website, if adapted for the popular audience. Academic literature is so wide that almost any subject related to facts or theories about the world and beyond gets directly or indirectly connected to a topic of a journal article. This is why websites in any niche (except illegal) can adopt such expert content and get connected with the academic publications realm. Such a connection results in important SEO benefits, which include growing the organic traffic of a website and acquiring backlinks from high-authority sites.
  Our academics can write for your website an article of 1,500- 2,000 words as a friendly version of a journal article, at your choice, with a topic related to your niche and of interest for your audience. The friendly article will be an adaptation from the academic one to the general-public audience, in what concerns style, language, and terminology, and will summarize the findings of the latter, in a broader non-academic context, adapted for your website and your readership. Even as an adapted version, your article becomes citable in an academic publication, namely in one that cites the original journal article.
  This form of science journalism specific for any given niche connects the non-academic content of a site with the academic publications, resulting in important SEO gains, as you will see further. It's not only about backlinking your site from the academic space, but getting it involved there, which is in the vein of the new principles of Google's policy.
  
  
  

  Academic link building by citation

  Once posted on your site, we will cite your article with its link in the reference list of an editable academic article published by our scholars or academic collaborators, which cites the original article. That publication will be edited to incorporate your citation/link and posted back on high-authority academic sites (including science repositories, scholarly archives, research-data repositories, science blogs, encyclopedic sites, and university resources, DR 75 - 93), from which you will get permanent contextual backlinks.
  Your link will be placed in the entry of the original article in the reference list, as in the following examples:
  
  Harrigan, K., Dixon, M., & Brown, D. (2015). Modern multi-line slot machine games: The effect of lines wagered on winners, losers, bonuses, and losses disguised as wins. Journal of Gambling Studies, Vol. 31, 423-439. Summary (anchor for yoursite.com ) [link to the adapted article]
  
  Papatheodorou, A. (2001). Why people travel to different places. Annals of Tourism Research, 28(1), 164-179. Summary retrieved from yoursite.com [link to the adapted article]
  
  Katz, D. L., & Meller, S. (2014). Can we say what diet is best for health?. Annual Review of Public Health, 35(1), 83-103. Related article (anchor for yoursite.com ) [link to the adapted article]
  
  Other expert articles in your site (not necessary a summary of an academic article) can also be cited with links in academic sites, provided they met certain requirements regarding content and structure. Their citation in the references list is labeled with 'Related articles'.

  Publishers

  The publication revised with your link will be edited and posted back on high-authority academic sites (all moderated) where the authors contribute as scholars/researchers, from which you will get permanent contextual backlinks. Our portfolio of publishers includes: Oercommons.org (Open Educational Resource from the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education, DR 76), Philarchive.org (The #1 philosophy and related disciplines scholarly archive, DR 80), Usc.edu (The Scalar scholarship repository of University of Southern California, DR 85), Springernature.com (The science blog of the scientific communities at Springer Nature, DR 82), Researchgate.net (The #1 multidisciplinary repository, DR 93), Hal.science (The open archive of the Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe, DR 73), Ssrn.com (Social Science Research Network of Elsevier, DR 92), Harvard.edu (The Dataverse research data repository of Harvard University, DR 93), Mendeley.com (the reference manager and research data repository of Elsevier, DR 85), Osf.io (Open Science Framework, DR 84), Encyclopedia.pub (Scholarly Community Encyclopedia from MDPI, DR 73), Scienceopen.com (Research platform and repository, DR 77), and others.
  
  

  Virtues and SEO benefits

  With such content you will be one step ahead your competition and attract more organic traffic. The specificity of the CBALB results in the following virtues, which other link building methods do not have:
  ■ The backlinks serve the readers of the academic site and are always contextual (what Google qualifies as relevant links).
  ■ The backlinks are not volatile and are entirely secure due to the credentials of the authors/editors.
  ■ The backlinks have the potential to self-replicate on other educational/science/academic sites by external feed.
  ■ The new content on the client's site goes in tandem with that of the journal article that it summarizes, which usually ranks high (see a concrete example in the next section). This association, along with the academic citations, makes the summary eligible as a resource for the Google's AI-search component.
  ■ There are good chances that your article will be picked by Google Scholar to be included in their returns (provided the article meets their requirements); if this happens, you will acquire a permanent backlink from Google Scholar as a bonus (see a concrete example in the next section).
  ■ The pages with your citations are backlinked from the academic profile of the writer on authoritative scholarly portals like scholar.google.com (DR 92), orcid.org (DR 91), and semanticscholar.org (DR 90), which passes more value to your links. Such a page is also backlinked from any academic publication that will cite it with its DOI link.
