Link Building Trick #128

This is such an easy way to get good quality backlinks, yet so many people don't think of doing this.

Run a backlink check on your competition, see where they have their quality links. Get in touch with those sites and see if you can get a link on there as well.

I like to use http://seopro.com.au/free-seo-tools/new/link-checker/ when it's running properly.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get good, niche specific links with solid PR by simply sending a friendly email asking for a link on their site. Often you'll find blogs, directories and sites that you never even thought of trying to get a link from. Try this method out and watch your SERP's, PR & quality backlink count increase greatly.

If you've already been doing this...nice job. Keep it up.

 

This seems like fairly common advise but it is definitely good. Countless good links can be built in this way.

 

You can also utilize http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ and type in
site: www.yourcompetion.com (replacing your competition with the name of the company - obviously), and check results there. You can easily export to a CSV file, and then import the results into Excel. You can find all of the sites, and blogs, et al, that your competition is linked to and start your link building efforts there. Hope that helps!

 

This is a very common technique. A lot of people do this but really I would only go for the higher PR links they got because if you try to go through all of them you will be wasting your time.

 

Simple but effective advice. Thanks.

 

Simple. It gives link juice but targetted links can bring targetted traffic.

 

I have tried that. But for a particular niche most incoming links to the competitions are from link swapping. So I wonder if I should follow their ways to do link swapping...

 

Thanks for the tip, never thought of that....

 

Common method. I have a section on this in an ebook that I've written.

 

if you use the same links as your competition doesnt that kinda cancel each other out then its up to some other optimization tricks to get ahead?

 

This i one of the first things I did. Good advice.

 

good simple advice. hope it could help. thank

 

Good advice. But target traffic can be biring if you only make link with your related niche. Other it's ok

 

thx for sharing I just checked the backlinks to my site and I'm a bit surprised because the backlink checker I used befor did only show 22 links and this one shows 1,8k

 

I've use the seopro.com as well it's probably going to be the main backlinking tool I use. Domain pop takes waaaaay too long and has too many problems.

 

It doesn't cancel each other out, but you get a piece of the link juice that your competitor was getting before so it evens out the playing field.

 

This is a good way to create links but can take some time to achieve.

 

THANX for the tip

 

Its nice tips for the beginners and also can adopt many notes from it

 

ive started doing this, it can take ALOT of time. But very worth it.
