My HARO Link Ends Up On TV!

TL;DR

You never know what’s going to happen when you apply for backlinks using HARO – my outreach ended up on TV!

WTF Are HARO Links?

HARO links, which stand for “Help A Reporter Out,” are backlinks that are acquired through the use of the HARO website, which is where journalists seek the opinions of experts for their articles.

If the content of a website is mentioned in one of these pieces, then that website will receive a link from the site that published the story.

These links are beneficial to SEO since they originate from websites with a good reputation and a high level of authority. As a result, the trustworthiness of the website and its position in search engine rankings are both improved.

Because they also boost online exposure and have the potential to bring more organic traffic, they are an extremely desirable component in search engine optimization tactics.

My Outreach

I used to work as the Head of SEO for YesStyle – one of the world’s largest eCom retailers of KPOP Fashion and Korean Cosmetics.

I used the HARO service to get backlinks and I replied to an offer from Darcy Camden (a top stylist from Seattle, Washington) for “Back To Work” Fashion suggestions.

I applied by offering her some sample clothing from YesStyle; she agreed and she ended up using it on King5 TV!

What is King5?
