I always read about snooping around on your competitions backlinks here, that is of course a great way to get links. One way I like to use, is to go through threads here, look at other members signature links. do a Google link:http://www.othermemberssiglink.com/ and see what pops up, the top one page is usually the best pages and if some of them looks like blog comment links they are worth checking out I got a PR6 link using this technique today The fact that the member in question already got the link listed by G shows you its a good link.
You are better off using a yahoo just because Google updates its backlinks every blue moon. Use a tool like this one: http://www.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/domain-popularity.html
agreed and good advice by directportrait, nothing new here but a worthy hint for those who didn't know!
I do this a lot for competing sites, helps me understand where they get a lot of their links, as well as helps me get some links for my site.
Good tip. It's totally a totally fair compitition plan, but a little mean. I did know about this but my motivation is low. today, I think I'll spend a day doing this to all for my sites. Thanks for the tip.
hmm .. i suppose it's a tip .. checking other people's backlinks is an important part of SEO if you are to compete - use their knowledge to catch up. Thought that was standard stuff to be honest. Thanks anyway, it's good to have a reminder
Some kind of reverse engineering? But why to use google's link: command, if we all know, they doesn't reveal all links. Use Backlinkswatch or iwebtool tools and you will get even more.
So the whole trick here is to check your competitors backlinks and try using his techniques? Or did I miss sth?
it's an intresting way to do but when i try my competitor, google is only showing backlinks from my competitors web site
