How else to find backlinks for training site

[BobGW]

Hello,

How would you recommend finding and gaining backlinks for

nlpca(dot)com

other than looking at the top 10 competitors?

Also, we could do an infographic but the owners don't have time to produce a lot of additional articles.

Thanks!

Bob-

Have you used the SEOMOZ tools on the site. Opensite explorer and competitive link finder under research tools is a great place to start. It will give you detail much deeper than the top 10 competitors. I find that the more time I spend on SEOMOZ, the more value I get.....not just "brown nosing" these guys. No affiliation.

Happy seomozing.

I've used OSE on the top 10 competitors. But I'll check out the competitive link finder.

Yes, try to find the backlinks for your competition...not just the top 10 competition for your top term. Use other keywords to see if the same set of websites ranking. I am sure there will be other niche sites ranking for some of your long tail keywords or something. Look at their backlinks as well. I would also sometimes try to look into the backlinks of the backlinks to see if I can find any opportunities.

I would literally search everything under the sun re: topics I noticed on your homepage.  I.e.:

• training
• certification
• wealth
• hypnosis

There's gotta be tons of bloggers on most of these topics on top of associations or organizations as well.  There's probably even directories and forums specific to all these topics and so I would scour those as well.  Start with the basic searches on the broad topics and then start going down tangents.

You can find some gold in those hills, if you travel far enough...

Bob,

OSE and Link Finder are 2 amazing and useful tools, you should definitely check them out.

Although I think that the number one link building strategy that always works and always pays off is content, actually quality content.

I think you are in a quite interesting niche and with the programs that you offer you could pulled a lot of high quality content that you can then spread through the social media channels.
