Best Way to Filter Backlinks

[spyke01]

When analyzing backlinks and trying to get the same one for another site there are a ton of backlinks to go through. I know that if the DA of the link is then pages on the site might be a good choice like adding an article or something of the sort to the site but as far a the same page goes you can typically only do this with a comment on the page.

My question is, given a huge list of backlinks from multiple sites, is there an easy way to analyze the links and determine which ones I can copy without manually checking hundreds of links?

Hi there

Okay cool - didn't want to give you information you didn't need. I'd also take a look at the Moz SERP analysis - tons of great information there that can help guide you in the direction you should take with your efforts.

Good luck!

Thanks for the answer, that is definitely what I was asking. I was looking at a new competitor and a few old ones who have less content, less social activity, and are less optimized than me but have higher backlinks and in turn higher DA.

My plan was to go through and copy several of the good links in hopes of driving up my own DA.

Hi there

I think you're asking: "I am doing competitor research. I pulled links for a competitor's site, and I want to know which ones are worth going after without having to do a bunch of manual clicking. How do I do that?"

Truthfully, this should be a manual process. When you are link building, you aren't looking for just links that "work". You want links that truly add value to your link profile and offer those users that click said link a great experience.

I would use this data set as a guide, find citation or listing links (this could be local SEO too) that are common sense "I need these links because they are business and industry related", and then look at high metric and quality links, and analyze how your site adds value to that particular site enough to link to you. Otherwise, it's not going to happen.

I answered a similiar question here earlier with some tips. Check that out.

I hope this helps and I understood - if I didn't, let me know so I can be more useful to you! Good luck!
