1) Link Builder gives you thousands of valuable potential link prospects in just seconds.
To begin finding quality link prospects with Link Builder, all you have to do is enter a keyword that describes your business. It couldn't be simpler - we do the work for you! So if you have a bike store, just enter 'mountain bikes.'
Link Builder immediately starts building your first campaign - and within moments, you have loads of high quality link prospects right at your fingertips!
2) Link Builder instantly displays your best link prospects. That means no wasting your time chasing low quality links.
Getting links from quality sites is critical. That's why we automatically sort results with the very best sites at the top. Link Builder tells you how many links each prospect has, allowing you to immediately pick out and target the most valuable sites.
3) Link Builder helps you focus your efforts for better results
Professional SEOs will tell you that different types of sites require different approaches to link building. For instance, you would never send a reporter the same information that you would add to a directory - journalists are interested in well-told, exciting stories while directory entries are factual and free of hype.
Link Builder automatically creates separate campaigns for each type of site, as shown in the screenshot below. This helps you fine-tune your targeting and get a better response from your link requests.
So, for example, if your competitors are attracting lots of links from blogs, you might discover similar success by targeting the blogosphere.
4) Link Builder tells you your 'quick wins' first – so you can get your campaign off to a running start.
Some link prospects are easier to target than others - and Link Builder tells you exactly who they are. We give you:
- Co-linking sites that actively link to sites in your market (they'll be a cinch to get links from, quickly).
- Blogs that not only link to sites like yours, but can also help spread your story like wildfire across the web.
- News and media: in other words, reputed journalists, editors and experts who will write, publish and link to sites in your market.
- Shopping sites that will drive potential customers directly to your website.
- Trusted sites that will help to position your site as credible and enhance your reputation.
5) Link Builder alerts you to fresh, new linking opportunities - the moment they hit the web.
Link building is a fast-paced, dynamic process, with new potential targets cropping up every day across every market niche. All that activity is too complex to track manually... but luckily, Link Builder does it all for you!
Here's how it works:
- Every week, we carefully scour the web for promising new link prospects in your market (including those linking to your competitors).
- We send you a weekly email notification to let you know what we've found.
- These smoking-hot link prospects are automatically loaded into your Link Builder campaigns for you.
This saves you a ton of drudgework, leaving you much more time for contacting the new prospects and getting them to link to you.
What's more, if you've got clients (or a boss) to report to, imagine their delight when you show them the new links you've given them - and the heap of new prospects you've unearthed by monitoring the competition!
6) Link Builder shows you your competitors' linking strategies, so you can piggyback on their hard work.
Link Builder gives you the exact web page (URL) where your competitors' top links appear, so you can see how the links got there.
For example, Patagonia.com earned a link from the prestigious Inc. Magazine (below) because they allow their employees a two week paid vacation to work on an environmental project.
If you know that your competitors are getting lots of links from a certain website or group of websites, you can copy their linking strategies and potentially enjoy the same - or even better - results!
7) Link Builder helps you identify the thought leaders in your market, so you know precisely who to target with your link building campaign.
So that you can hone in on link prospects that truly matter, Link Builder allows you to enter the URLs of leading magazines and — and then finds all the sites that link to them. If you're a seller of gourmet foods, for example, you will ideally build a campaign that targets sites linking to bonappetit.com, cooksillustrated.com, saveur.com, foodandwine.com and more.
8) Link Builder allows you to save compelling link prospects as you browse the web.
Link Builder's unique Firefox extension allows you to save the links from any web page - directly into a Link Builder campaign. So, if you stumble across a list of blogs or industry directories that look like ideal link targets, you'll be able to save them with a single click.
9) Link Builder supplies you with data not available to your competitors.
Google doesn't let you see all the links they know about - rather, you only get a limited view. But luckily, the results on Link Builder are not dependent on Google. Wordtracker has its own proprietary link database that is updated daily, so you always have access to the latest and greatest prospects.
Since our database now has over 3 trillion URLs, we can provide valuable link information to any business, no matter what their specialization!
10) Link Builder lets you monitor your progress (and show off your successes).
With Link Builder you're able to:
- View historic reports that show your progress.
- See competitor profiles so you know where your competition got their links.
- Track your targets - so you'll know once they've added a link to your site.
And of course, our tool allows you to do all the usual things you'd expect from a professional campaign management system, such as highlight your top targets, tag and filter your prospects, and make detailed notes about your conversations.
For instance, if I wanted to promote specifically to 'mommy bloggers,' I could filter on the word 'mom.' In the example below, I've found some great sites that I'd like to contact:
If you're working in an agency, you'll be able to create weekly reports showing the new links you've generated. Your clients will love you for it!
11) A Link Builder subscription includes world-class support to help you get a better return on your investment.
