5. Rank Tracker
+ others.
5 main tools
Link Building
Our crawler is the second most active after Google
1) How to find broken link building
opportunities using Ahrefs
Quick refresher
● You find a broken link;
● You recreate the dead
content (or use an existing
version);
● You tell anyone linking to
the dead resource to link to
your content.
Use Content Explorer
Content Explorer is a searchable
database of over a billion web pages.
Use Site Explorer
Site Explorer is Ahrefs’ backlink
checker and competitive analysis
tool.
You can use this tactic for your own
site to find and fix broken links.
2) How to find “Skyscraper
Technique” opportunities using
Ahrefs
Quick refresher
● You find a relevant piece of
content with tons of links;
● You create something way
better;
● You tell anyone linking to
the original piece to link to
your content instead.
You are probably doing this:
That’s a pretty good method!
But it’s not the only way.
You can use Keywords Explorer.
Keyword Difficulty (KD) is derived
from a weighted average of the
number of referring domains to the
current top-ranking pages.
Using Content Explorer.
Cool right? Let’s go one step further.
We can all agree: nobody likes
outdated content.
If you can somehow find relevant
outdated content with links, you can
easily create something better, or
something more up-to-date.
Plus, you’ll have the perfect outreach
angle.
This also leads us nicely to this
potential guest blogging idea:
Want to find more link building
opportunities with Ahrefs?
Let me introduce you to this
powerful but underutilized tool.
3) How to find link building
opportunities using Link Intersect
With Link Intersect, you can see
who’s linking to your competitors,
but not you.
You can see who’s linking to the
current top-ranking pages, but not
your page.
You can find your competitors’
superfans.
Superfans are people who
continually link to a target website.
You can find local citation
opportunities.
Keyword Research
4) You can do keyword research
across 10 different search engines.
5) You can find keywords of different
search intents easily.
6) You can do an empty search to
find profitable niches (amongst other
things.)
7) Use Site Explorer for competitor
analysis
8) Find what forums and community
sites are ranking for
9) Use the Content Explorer “Hack”
10) Find keywords that other sites
have ranked for fast
