One common mistake that many link builders make is to reach out to everyone who’s linking to a top-ranking page for a keyword they want to rank for.
Without analyzing your link prospects, you could be building bad links or links that won’t actually help you rank.
So what you need to do is identify your competitor’s high-quality backlinks so you can know which pages will be worth getting a link from.
To do that, you’ll have to ask yourself a series of questions.
Watch the video to find out what these questions are, and the methods you can use to answer them.
Should you only go for links that match all of the criteria discussed in the video? Probably not, because you’ll be limiting your pool of prospects too much.
Instead, use these as guidelines to determine the amount of time and effort you’re willing to put into gaining links from certain pages and sites. And also use them to find which sites you’ll want to avoid building links on.
