Ecommerce Link Building: 3 Super Scalable Ways to Build Links to Your Ecommerce Store

Articles

Link building today is a disaster.

It is being abused to the core, and bloggers are wary of random strangers asking for links. Although there are legitimate ways to build links, most of them are not scalable.

And with millions of blog posts being published every day, โ€˜contentโ€™ has become a buzzword, and itโ€™s becoming increasingly difficult to be seen in all the noise.

With all that being said, links are still the most important ranking factor. When you have great content, wonderful user experience, and design, the only missing element is links.

Today, Iโ€™m going to blow the lid off some link building tactics that have worked very well for us. And yes- these arenโ€™t new tactics. But Iโ€™m going to show you how you can scale these processes sky-high, and how you can build links in one of the toughest verticals out there- ecommerce.

Articles Referral Software

Referred customers are worth more, full stop.

A peer-reviewed study tracking roughly 10,000 customers for nearly three years (Schmitt, Skiera and Van den Bulte, Journal of Marketing, 2011) found referred customers carry 16 to 25% higher lifetime value than matched non-referred ones. Add Nielsen's finding that 92% of consumers trust recommendations from friends and family, and you get the cheapest, highest-trust acquisition channel there is.

Referral and affiliate CAC sits near $45 versus around $74 for paid search (Extole 2026 benchmark). Software turns that word-of-mouth into a system instead of a happy accident.

So which tool actually fits your store? That is where most roundups fall apart. The popular ones are vendor-owned (both Extole and ReferralCandy rank themselves #1 in their own lists) or lean on unsourced aggregator scores. I have nothing to sell, so this is the best referral software for ecommerce ranked by use case, with verified pricing and the real user complaints those vendor lists quietly skip.

Amazon buys Whole Foods – What does it mean for ecommerce?

Articles

Amazon bought Whole Foods Market for $13.6 Billion and it has been widely reported. I am not going to rehash what has been put by many publishers. Recode and TechCrunch wrote about the purchase on a Friday that will haunt retail in the US for the next 15-20 years.

Jeff Bezos famously said in 2011, โ€œWe are willing to think long-term. We start with the customer and work backwards. And, very importantly, we are willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.โ€ ย This is the reason why Amazon can innovate unlike any other company in history.
