Original Description

Guest blogging is one of the most powerful link building tactics! In this video you will learn to solve two main challenges of link building with guest posts with a cool guest blogging hack called "The Robin Hood Technique." Link building with guest articles consists of 2 phases: Phase #1: Coming up with a cool article idea that will happily get accepted by any blog. Phase #2: Finding dozens of new blogs to pitch your cool ideas to. So for the “Phase #1” you may put some keywords into Content Explorer (https://ahrefs.com/content-explorer) that best describe the topic that you would like to write about. You’ll instantly get a list of relevant articles ranked by how many shares they got on social media. Reading a few of these top-notch articles will help you easily come up with a few great ideas of your own. Moving to the “Phase #2”, go to page 10 of Content Explorer results for that same keyword and you’ll see a list of articles on the same topic that weren’t that successful. This means you can reach out to the blog owner and offer him to tackle this topic based on the most shared articles you’ve just read. Thus, basically you “steal” proven content ideas from the big blogs and publish them as guest articles on smaller blogs. Hence the name of the technique – The “Robin Hood” Technique. https://blog.ahrefs.com/one-billion-pages-crawled-by-content-explorer/ STAY TUNED: Ahrefs ► https://ahrefs.com/ Facebook ►https://www.facebook.com/Ahrefs Twitter ►https://twitter.com/ahrefs YouTube channel ►https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWquNQV8Y0_defMKnGKrFOQ
