How to Spy Out Your Competitor’s Backlink Profile and Gain 20% More Links to Your Site

I want you to try something.

Right now, think of your top competitors.

They might be doing better than you, or they might be giving you a run for your money. You might be blowing them out of the water. I don’t know.

Now go to Google and type in your focus keyword — your money keyword, the most important keyword in your SEO strategy.

See where you rank and see where your competitors rank.

It doesn’t matter if they’re ranking better or worse. Just think about all of the traffic they must be getting.

Think of the traffic that they’re getting, and you’re not getting.

(Pay extra attention to those competitors that are on page 1 of Google.)

Now imagine stealing all of that traffic from right under their noses.

Does that sound interesting?

Well, guess what? You can do exactly that.

You can actually spy on your competitors’ backlinks and get more links to your own site.

One of my clients used this method to get 20% more backlinks to their site.

That’s completely possible with this method. It’s not too hard either, so if you don’t have a lot of SEO experience, don’t worry.

If you’ve wanted to start a good backlink strategy for a long time, I think this is a great first step.

Why use this strategy?

This is a powerful idea, and I want you to understand just how important this can be for your link building strategy.

Let’s take a random keyword like “scheduling app” and look at the first page of Google:

The simple fact that these sites are on page 1 of the SERPs (search engine results pages) means that they have excellent link profiles.

In other words, they meet and exceed Google’s expectations, and as a result, they’re rewarded with prime SERP real estate.

Each of these sites has a unique link profile, but they’re all on page 1.

This is where spying on your competitors will give you a huge advantage.

Imagine if your link profile looked like all of your competitors’ link profiles put together.

Your link profile would have to be pretty awesome, right? If you use this strategy, that’s exactly what will happen.

You’ll build a link profile that astounds Google and helps you improve your visibility, enhance your SEO, and dethrone your competitors.
