Why Every SEO Strategy Needs Infographics

Infographics not only grab the attention of your readers but they can also be a scalable link building tactic.  The internet is quickly collecting an assortment of well-designed, easy-to-digest infographics across all industries, and it’s easy to see why these information-packed images are so popular for bloggers and web content managers.

But what many webmasters forget is that the use of infographics can be more than a nice visual aid for the human eye; they can also encourage natural links and give something for search engines to feast their bots on.
