How to Find The Ideal Backlink

- If you want to rank higher in Google, you know you need backlinks, but if you just email a lot of random sites asking them to link to you, what happens? They ignore your emails, they never link back to you and your ranking stay flat and they never go to page one. Today I'm going to break down how you can find the ideal backlink.
RESOURCES & LINKS:
____________________________________________
hunter.io: hunter.io/
Ubersuggest: neilpatel.com/...
____________________________________________
First off, what I want you to do is go to Google and search for any keyword that you want to rank for. So let's say I want to rank for the term SEO company.
The first thing I would do is, go and see who ranks at the top. One of the sites, and I would avoid homepages, so look for websites that have internal pages ranking.
The reason being is, when a site ranks at the top and it's their homepage, a lot of times the people that link to that homepage most likely won't link to you. I also wouldn't look at any domain name where the keyword is the domain name.
So I typed in SEO company. And then what I want you to do is go to neilpatel.com/backlinks right? Again, neilpatel.com/backlinks and then type in the URL of the specific page that's ranking at the top. And then in the dropdown, I want you to click on URL, exact URL, and then click search.
And this will pull up a report in Ubersuggest that shows you all the people that are linking to that URL, and over time it shows you is it gaining you links or is it losing links? And you can even see on a daily basis how many are gained, how many are lost? This page is losing anywhere from one to two links a day and gaining one to two links a day.
What's interesting is, as you scroll down, you'll start seeing a list of all the URLs, that are more so websites, that are linking to this URL. And I filtered the links. The first filter I do is it shows all links I click on follow because any link that is a no-follow and I'm going to show you it here. These links don't really pass juice compared to the ones that click are that are more so follow.
So make sure you keep the one link per domain highlighted. And then I want you to click on the arrow next to the source. And this will load up, in URLs or in more other tabs, of all the people, on URLs, linking, to that site.
And I'm looking for all the people that are linking to, that competitor URL that's ranking high up. And it's really simple. I'll make a list of all the sites, and there's tons of them, right? And I look for the content rich ones, anything that's not content rich, I tend to ignore.
So we have four decent ones. And what I'll do is I'll simply send them a email, right? So this right here, this post is by, let's see who it's by. I'm trying to see. All right, it doesn't say who it's by, but I would just shoot them a email and you can find their email by just going to their contact page. Or, what I like doing is, I use a tool called hunter.io and then I'll put in the URL.
And then I would just shoot them all emails, saying like, "Hey, Bob, "I noticed you wrote an article on the three web skills "that every modern employee should have. "And I noticed you linked out to Ignite Visibility. "I have a similar site, "but mine covers A, B and C that theirs didn't "and it'll help your visitors with A, B and C "or one, two, and three." And the more detailed you go, and then you say, "Hey, feel free and check it out here, if you like it, feel free and link out to me." That's it.
You'll send out 100 of these emails and you'll find that majority of people will still ignore you. But, you can get around three to five or six links. And if you do that every week and you send out 100 emails, I know that sounds like a lot of work, but trust me, if you do that for a few months, your rankings will start going up.
Then I may go to the next URL this one is, thrive agency. So thrive agency, I may end up clicking on this, and then I'll go back to Ubersuggest. And I would just put in the URL, and just make sure you have URL selected here, exact URL. And I would just reach out and see if they're open to linking.
And sometimes you'll put in a URL you may not find a lot of great links but it's just a pure numbers game. Here's mine. And I'm using this strategy to rank myself.
It's tedious, it's exhausting, but it works.
Most people don't get rankings and get the links they want because they're too lazy to put in the effort.

Don't be lazy, people. Appreciate the honesty and long explanation on how to find the ideal backlink. You said it so well - "It's tedious, it's exhausting, but it works", and that's the point!.
Exactly :)
I'm finding that out the hard way lol being new to SEO and trying to get a grasp on backlinks is daunting. On this initial step, inputting a keyword, do you need to already have created a content asset?
@@jrose242 certainly...

Love that!
Hey Neil,
Your best tips on “how to write the best subject lines”.
Thanks

Backlinks are pure nightmare material, I’ve been blogging for 10 months now and my daily visitors are still close to 0 because so far, my only backlinks are from a web value checker.
Blogging can be disheartening, especially in a saturated niche (which I opted for, go figure...), but i’m never giving up! I’m working hard to earn a backlink from you in the future Neil, great insight as always!
Backlinks are probably the hardest part of SEO, I totally agree! Just keep on hustling and keep up the positive attitude :)
Always informative and useful, Neil! Backlinks are needed to rank higher on search. Your easy-to-follow tutorials help!
Glad you think so! :)
Thank you Neil.
New to the concept of backlinks, thanks for the tutorial ✅
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant - thank you Neil. I need to understand a bit more about back links before I embark on this:)
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for this Neil 😊
You're welcome!
Thanku verry much for this video nile sir
Most welcome
Sir..... ❤️❤️❤️ , You recognize me. I watched your every video.
Thank you for that :)
As always Sir Neil Patel rocks!
You rock!
Thankyou for sharing
My pleasure
Thanks Neil, you are the best
You are!
Straight to the point. Great video
Thank you!
Looks like I've got some homework to do. Thanks for this tip. I'm curious, you mentioned at 3:36 "This one doesn't look that great..." could you explain how you identified the better ones to research in Hunter? They all seemed to have good rankings so I wasn't sure if it was your years of experience that made that call based on its title.
I say that because the URL looks sloppy. It's not a simple .com. It could be a spam site.
@@neilpatel Thank you for taking the time to explain. That helps.
Thanks a lot for making this video sir.. But Do people give free backlinks because most of the time people ask for money?
Yes free backlinks are still a thing. Don't pay for backlinks.
Exactly what I needed this time
Perfect :)
Good Information Sir.
Thanks :)
What if you are in a type of business where people don’t want to link back to you because that would be taking their sales away? I’m a travel agent and no other travel agents or suppliers want to give away business that they can book themselves.
Work with travel bloggers to get backlinks :) Competition is almost never going to link to you.
Hey Neil !! Do you plan to build a software tool to automate back linking?
Maybe someday :)
Memberpress vs paid membership pro which is better ...
Paid membership pro :)
What will you do if you are not allowed to send an unsolicited email? I live in Denmark and we are not allowed to send unsolicited email (it is considered spam) The rule is shortened to GDPR and the fines for violation are huge.
If you're emailing the contact on their website then it's not unsolicited. :)
Which links to set to do-follow and which one to no-follow . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Here this will help give you an idea! neilpatel.com/blog/google-link-guidelines/
I've read that so many info graphics and tools get many backlinks but is this technique useful to the blogger who has just started?
Yes :)
When to make backlinks before or after the blog post and do, I need to send a different content to get a backlinks? Or the same content is which I would POST is enough?
after the blog post
You publish the blog post and then try and get backlinks :)
Very informative 👍 thank you neil 😊
My pleasure!
Many, times I've read buy expired domains to get Ranking higher on Google does this strategy work?
They can be helpful, yes
Hey Neil! What about the 10 backlinks I earned from the same blog? Can Google think I'm doing blackhat, even if I earn the links with 1 month of diference? 10 backlinks from 1 single domain are worst then 10 backlinks from 10 domains? How worst they are?
You should be fine but I wouldn't continue getting backlinks from the same blog. Work to get new ones :)
When you mail random they ignore you. When you mail not to random but they don't know they not random they ignore you. We need a video how to let them know they are not random.
Thanks for the suggestion :) The key perspective is to add value to their page.
How much do you charge for link building process ?
it depends on the scope of work :)
Is there any need to make backlinks for a micro niche blog or without backlinks can I rank?
Yes for all sites wanting to improve SEO backlinks are necessary :)
Hey neil
I am doing it for months and the issue i found is that the blogger asks for the money and i am confuse that is it worth to pay 40 50 dollar for a guest post ??
If it's a high DA site it can be worth it, for sure! Make sure the audience is relevant to your site.
I have seen some websites creating thousands of backlinks within a short time. Is there any other strategy to build backlinks?
Don't focus on building tons of backlinks, focus on building quality backlinks :)
Nice video 👌
Thank you so much 😀
How much should I charge someone for putting a link to their website on my site in a very relevant post? I'm getting about 10K views per month on my site.
My website is new and it has low domain authority then how should I approach other sites of high authority to link to my website. I tried this method but they never reply to my email.
From my very beginner experience, you have to blow any other article on the subject you want to rank for out of the water by providing deeper insight and more value.
I didn’t have that kind of luck yet but i’m working my way there, best of luck for you sir!
@@emanlx Yes thanks for your advice but I think most of them don't look at the email.
One thing you could try to do it message people who work for the company on LinkedIn as well! Try not to come off as salesy or promotional though.
Building relationships works much better
That works too :)
Hey Neil
Expired domain buy good or bad idea?
It definitely can be a good idea :) Make sure its not linked to any spam
How I check this (spam links)?
sir This tool free or paid?
There are limited free versions of each tool :)
:-) or :-(
First comment after 31second first time I do This lol 😂
Thank you! :)
👍
:)
Neil I don't want to say but i have seen that you only are promoting your tool in each and every video.... Your content is not so valuable as it was few months ago...
We all knows this tool please don't promote this in each and every video.... This tool is not so reliable ... It shows wrong data ....even for new sites it doesn't collect data for almost 5.. 6months
Hello friend,
I'm not trying to promote my product, I'm trying to help you do your SEO by using the tool that I built to help people have success with their digital marketing :)
