What content gets lots of links?
-When you are using an SEO tool, don’t just do a competitive analysis on your competitors and take what has worked well for them and run with it. Your competitors are too limited.
-A tactic is to take giant publishers, newspapers and magazines. They don’t have to be in your industry, but at least complementary to it. Do a content analysis on them. Figure out what is working for them and use that to build your own content strategy.
-Take their site and use on ahrefs. Go to the “Top content” report and sort by links. Just because content is popular, it doesn’t mean it will get you links.
-Scroll through the list and look at specific content that has lots of links. You can then see the list of links, and create a content strategy from it.
This is a quick and easy way to sort through viral content, reverse engineer it and put your own spin on it.
