      Hi all,

      I have been researching the best way for back links building, and I would like to ask few questions before I start.

      Which one of these tools would you recommend for back link building diagnostics.

      • www.linkrisk.com

      - www.linkdetox.com

      What would be the best procedure to begin creating healthy back links? Would looking at my competitors back links help me?

      What would be the recommended amount of back links created per week? Also how many blogs entries should we aim to create per week?

      The website i'm working on is manvanlondon.co.uk

      If you guys have any further suggestions please let me know.

      Many thanks for your time.

        Hi

        First of all it is ALWAYS a great idea to know you competition, study them! And see what they have been upto and gather knowledge on how to beat them. You might even find link opportunities while doing so.

        Creating healthy back links is all about quality rather then volume. Building content that your industry are interested in and what they might find helpful can lead to natural links coming from "on topic" sites.Try to figure out how to get links/mentions from authority sites, that might send you traffic as well.

        There isn't a right amount of blog post to publish per week. I would put more time into each blog post to make sure the quality and likability of the content is spot on.

        Great content will make people want to comeback to your block and also make them stay and read longer (That way your are sending the right signals to google as well... that you content makes people stay and read and not bounce back)

          Hi,

          Yes, Justian is absolutely right, knowing your competitors is fundamental when want to do good SEO! Checking out your competitors‘ backlinks is definelty the best way to start looking for healthy link opportunities. I would go for the LRT’s competitive link detox (CDETOX). The tool checks yours and your competitor’s (up to 9) backlinks and tells you, which ones are healthy ones and which ones are not. You can sort the links by their power and their link risk, so it is a good way to decide on which sites you’d like to build a link. I think knowing if the links are bad or good ones is essential when trying to copy the competitors‘ links, caus in the end it doesn’t help having the same links as your competitors if they are bad ones!

          Also the tool calculates your total link risk and your competitors‘ total link risks‘ so it is a good way to see what kind of link risk is normal in the particular niche or you can see if it is likely that some competitors will be punished by a penalty in the near future. This is also good to know when planning your own link building strategy.

          Regarding the recommended amount of backlinks created per week I have to say that the most important thing here is that you link growth is steadily and increases slowly! Everything else would look highly unnatural. Of course, some seasonal fluctuations might be normal for a particular industry, e.g. a higher link growth some weeks before christmas and so on …

          Hope this helped a bit.
          Cheers,
          Harry
