How to beat your competitors in a backlink building?
How to beat your competitors in a backlink building? This is the question for many people such as website owners and people working on SEO link building. So let us start with that question.

Who are your competitors? In every niche anyone has competition, so if you have a website maybe your competitor is only five places ahead, or even maybe only one place ahead, which puts you in the second place.

To start beating your competition you need to know who your competitors are.

Beat them with link intersect
To start this, you need to have the access to the Ahrefs tool. I use this tool for my clients and myself in link building and SEO analysis for my clients’ website and my website.

How to star and beat competitors in link building?
When you get access to the Ahrefs tool you will see a section below LINK INTERSECT.

Before you click the link intersect, make sure you type your website URL in link explorer because you want to compare your website with competitors’ websites.

The next step is to click on link intersect and you will get 3 fields where you have to type your competitors’ URL-s.

Let us start with stealing your competitors’ backlinks.

After you complete all of these steps (you can insert three of your competitors’ URL-s) and then click show link opportunities

After that, you will get all domains that are linking to your competitors’ websites but not to your website.

YOUR competitors are not so dominant in link building
After this process, you will get an insight into linking domains that are linking to your competitors’ websites, and then you can go and explore what you can do.

My google SERP competitors got backlinks (all three of them) from website prlog.ru which comes from a webpage that makes websites analysis.

So we are going to do the same reverse and get a backlink like our competitors. Surely it is a no-follow backlink but since they have one, why also not take the same one.

Next linking domain is the one that two of our competitors got backlinks from is clutch.co.

Now we have a different thing. We get a no-follow link but it is a content link. So we need to contact clutch.co. with an article to get guest posting content backlink. Since it is hard to get a guest post you can find an alternative finding a similar website with the same or above DA to get a backlink.

CONCLUSION
For building backlinks and beat competitors in backlink building, the right tool to use is Ahrefs and link intersect.
