How to find where your competitors links are coming from?

Hi Guys,

I've just set up a pet sitting website and I'm trying to get it ranked.

Currently it's on page for 3 for my 2 main search terms.

But looking at the site sitting on the top spot, it's rubbish and it only has 45 backlinks pointed to it.

Is there a way that I can find out where those links are coming from?

Thanks!

Ben

    If you want to reverse engineer for the purpose of checking the competitor’s backlinking strategies – checking on where they’re getting their backlinks from, the domain age of each links, analysing the number of links per page and analysing the number of OBLs per page, you can use Majestic SEO.

    ahrefs.com and majesticseo.com both give you backlinks data for any domain. I found ahrefs to be more accurate compared to majestic. You can also use backlinkwatch.com for getting this data. backlinkwatch actually pulls data from ahrefs.

    Backlinkwatch and ahrefs are best for checking backlinks for any competitor

    Ben, can you see any Google Maps results on page 1 when you search for your keywords? Perhaps you could optimize for local search.

    As far as your competitor's rank is concerned, it's not possible to tell with absolute certainty how they deserved it.

    If they only have 45 backlinks (as you say), then it could be due the fact that they have an old site, or that they've been mention in some high-profile publication, or because of the way webpages are interlinked on their site - what not, it's over 200 ranking factors after all! You really need to analyze the site from multiple perspectives to see why that's the case.

    SEOSpyGlass let's you know where your competitors are getting their links from and even at that not all backlinks are viewable.

    Back in those days, this strategy use to work but now that we know what the best links are and exactly where to find them we don't waste our precious time digging competitors backlinks.

    I suggest you horn your SEO skills like the rest of us and stay put.

    Assuming you dig into your competitors backlinks and you found out that his site major backlinks are from a private source you will never have access to, where do you go from there? Contact your competitor and request him to allow you access to his site!:p
