Hi

I have looked at this tool and my competitors sites that are number 1-3 in Google have very spammy links?!

I do not wish to copy their poor links.  How do you suggest I look for link opportunities?

Look for keywords like "sell house fast" or "sell property quickly" in Google.co.uk

Hi Saddat!

Thank you for your comment! Below are two more link building strategies you can employ by using the Link Opportunities tab in Open Site Explorer.

• Select the Reclaim Links tab to find broken pages on your site that have inbound links. You can then redirect these links to a working page.
• Select the Unlinked Mentions tab to see sites (and pages) that mention your company but do not link to you. You can then sort these by mention authority and if you see a reputable site that you respect, reach out to request a link.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Kelly
