Not everyone has social media or is inactive but everyone reads everything they find interesting on the internet, and this is one advantage I consider a lot. Plus they press release articles, supplies to smaller sites that are then introduced to news sites. 

4.  Link Exchange 

Link Exchange is the process of exchanging links with someone who wants to increase their network traffic as well. It is a way of professionally asking someone if you can place your link on their site and vice versa. It has some disadvantage and harmful yes, but it’s something that can contribute to your page rank and gain visitors.

There are a lot of readers out there who’s willing to download a PDF file and open every link they see which creates an opportunity for the writers to get more back-links. They have high rankings in page views and in search engines as well. Plus most of them are trusted by Google and are do-follow.
