      Hello,

      Doing competitive research for really gentle basic link building campaign.

      Which sites do I need to get a backlink list from besides open site explorer to be most successful?

      Thanks.

        In addition to OSE, ahrefs or SEMrush are awesome tools that can be used to reverse engineer a competitors link profile.

        If you haven't already done so, you may also want to review Rand's whiteboard Friday about getting your first 50 links to make sure you're got all the low hanging fruit before diving into other kinds of link building.
