There are heaps of great SEO link building tips out there, one my favorites uses the old school Ven diagram to analyse what your competitors are doing and copy them. Incoming links are extremely important in improving your websites ranking across the major search engines. They acts as a vote of confidence that you are a reputable website and encourages Google to give you a high rank for any given search term. It's a simple concept, but how do you go about achieving a great SEO link building strategy to outrank your competitors?
This trick / tool is called competitor trolling and I use a website called
Venny. Simply go to
open site explorer and type in your URL, along with your competitors (separately). You should be looking for the 'linking domains' tab for the websites that you providing incoming links. Download these and open in excel, extracting the actual URL's., you need do is plonk them into Venny.

Venny is super easy to use. Name each company and copy+paste the respective URL's into the box below. The system automatically shows the link cross over across all competition in a simple Ven diagram. From here you can click on the areas of the diagram you want to explore and this will generate a list of URL's that you should chase to link to your website.
Why go after competitor links?
Link building is tough work, so why not copy what others are doing as well as adding your own flare to it. This is the quickest, most efficient way to generate a thorough link profile, and comes with the added knowledge that it's working for them, so it must work for you.
