. . . . . . . . . . . . Yes, I made you click my thread to see the tip Set up Google Alerts for a few of your competitors sites, and when you get the alert everyday for their backlinks, copy them and get your site/s in there too. I just thought of this since I get Google Alerts for my 10 or so active clients to keep track of backlinks that get indexed, press, new links I didn't set up etc.
Links aren't evrything + you can't get the same same link And olso it's not a good strategy to copu the linkbuilding strategy of your competitors ...
I do not think I'm interested in knowing the linking structure of my competitors. With great content and high quality backlinks a site can rank well for any keyword.
Nice tip! But that willl take time for your competitors links to be discovered by Google and sent to you.
Wow, I'm surprised at the lack of praise in this thread. a. Linkbuilding is one of the most important things, whether you do it by writing exceptional content everyday, or by creating links in this fashion for an e-commerce or more static site doesn't really matter b. If you have a link on every page that your competitors do.... and some on pages that they don't you'll most likely rank higher than them. c. Google Alerts & Bloglines are awesome tools that I'd be surprised if most SEO'ers used everyday (but they should)
This is a very helpful tool. Never thought of it thanks... Do you do a comprehensive alert for link:www.thedomain.com or do you just put in there web address?
I take off the www. so I put a comprehensive alert in for thedomain.com and it seems to work pretty good.
Great tip, well there is nothing wrong with checking n analyzing competitors back links, Before this i was doing the same thing with yahoo explorer. Now will try this one, thanks again.
