Then, see if you can identify any gaps or areas of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Did a competing tech company write about an industry development, but leave out major details about how it works?<\/p>\n<p>Take that opportunity and run with it. Write a new in-depth piece about this new development and explain how it works.

Be sure to\u00a0explain why your content is valuable\u00a0for their readers, and invite them to share and link to your website.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Never, ever buy links<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Never, never ever.
