Duplicating competitor links from Ahrefs?

I'm using this awesome tool, exploring my competitors and where I can improve etc.

Does'nt this sort of simplify everything? Just find your top 10 competitors, analyze their links and then find the top 5 links with the highest Ahrefs score (Combination of PR, content, quality, backlinks, etc) - then contact the sites that hold these backlinks and ask what they are looking for in exchange for a link.

In my situation most of my competitors are paying blog owners to write a blog post about them and include the keyword once in the article. The blog posts pages are usually PR3 + and are very generic type sites. High quality, burt very generic and covering a lot of topics. I'm assuming a mixture of organic and paid blog posts on the site.

Is it worth pursuing links on the sites that are pushing the most link juice to my competitors? Worth doing this more then any other SEO approach?

Discussion encouraged.. Look forward to some feedback!

    Yes if they are passing a lot of link juice then definitely. However you have to remember that when a site owner makes a blog post the page created will start out as page rank n/a. Depending on their internal linking structure will depend on how much link juice is passed to that blog post and help determine its page rank.

    Bear in mind the post that your competitor was linked to from may have had a load of organic backlinks fired to it by users of that site. That could account for why the links carried so much weight as the blog post could have some nice backlinks. Nether the less a sites authority on google does help as new posts have a bit more trust. That being said a high home page rank is just a small part of what makes a good link.

    It would be worth investigating the average page ranks of the blog posts on the site and how many backlinks they receive before you shell out money on links. Also check out what sort of social interaction happens on the page by seeing how many tweets and FB likes it gets.

    Remember that just because a website home page has a high page rank doesn't mean its other pages do.
