that you already have all the skills you need to do it all you need is time reverse outreach is when you create a post that others will want to link to it's in a post that's full of stats and answers that surround commonly asked questions on a particular topic people will go straight to the post whenever they need specific statistics this makes it a great post to backlink to it's a much simpler approach than creating detailed guides which can be hard to map out it can take a long time and you need detailed knowledge of the topic to write a comprehensive guide which is why many aren't able to do it properly when choosing what to write your post about it's best to choose a topic that not many people have covered already remember to add some differentiation to your stats in a way that makes your content engaging and interesting for the reader this could be as simple as you having the most stats or the most up-to-date stats these stat posts also make for the perfect pillar article from which to link out to more detailed niche guides that relate directly to the statistics themselves the next tip is to conduct broken link building broken link building is the process of finding web pages that are no longer live recreating a resource that was similar and ideally better than that original and then reaching out to the webmasters that used to link to that old broken resource and asking them to link to your new version how do you convince them to link to your content instead you'll need to produce content superior to the original broken resource and then spend lots of time identifying who is linking to that resource and then outreach to them however you can to discuss linking to your new resource tools like ahrefs where you can enter a domain and search for broken links to article topics is a great way to speed up that process but another alternative people are turning to is niche edits as a little addition to this tip make sure to focus on any links you thought you already had upon running a backlink audit you may find that a lot of the links you thought you had are no longer live this may be because the page either no longer exists or the website owner removes the link you need to make sure that you're not only reaching out to site owners to update any changed urls but that you're offering new and updated content to those who have removed your links or at least get some feedback as to why these urls were removed otherwise you're just replacing the links you've lost with your link building efforts rather than building new ones the next tip is in a similar vein to the broken backlinks tip and that's to steal your competitors backlinks the idea here is to find which domains already link out to your competitors websites but aren't linking to your own this presents a wide open opportunity if they're already linking out to websites similar to your own then it's more likely that they'll link to yours too you're essentially carrying out blogger outreach but because you're targeting domains that already link out to websites similar to your own you're increasing the opportunity for success you just need to make sure that you've created some really great content maybe an infographic downloadable pdf or quiz that could be added to their website with a link back to your home page either that or have a url ready that is relevant to existing content where a link back to your website makes complete sense and supports their user experience you could even go as far as pitching that they replace your competitors link with your own even better
