…or how to steal backlinks, legally…
Whenever you are doing SEO for your web site or for your clients’ sites you might already know that the most valuable backlinks are the niche related backlinks! But how to find them?
Whatever your niche is, the chances that the first and/or second places are occupied by sites with very strong off page SEO campaigns are great. There are people working 24/7 against you. Sad, but true. The “big guys” are paying thousands of dollars to get to the most competitive and tasty place – the 1st one! There are SEO masters and companies creating backlinks to the different types of sites almost daily! How to outsmart them? Watch bellow our video tutorial on this topic:
There is one method to get your rivals’ backlinks in less than 10 minutes in 4 easy steps:
- You must know your competitors’ backlinks – how many backlinks do they have and what type of backlinks do they posseses. For this purpose you must visit this web site – Backlink Watch and enter your rival’s URL. Hit “Check Backlinks”. After a while you will get most of them. View the source of the page and Copy its content. Paste it on one .txt file. It is important because if you copy only the page itself (not the source code) you WILL NOT get the exact and full URLs!
- Use Scrapebox software to extract the backlinks from the .txt file created in Step One. Use the “Link Extractor” add-on. Also you can use one small program to extract the URLs from the text file called “guru’s URL Grabber” (it extracts website links from external files). You can download it from HERE (if he link is not working simply type in Google “guru’s URL Grabber” to find another one). Import the .txt file created in Step 1. with the URLs and the other text and extract and save the backlinks/URLs to another .txt file. You can name it “Extracted URLS”.
- You are almost done! Now you can check which backlinks are alive by using Scrapebox’s add-on “Alive Check”. By using Scrapebox add-on “Blog Analyzer” you can check which are blog comments with Spam protection or without it. Also note that these backlinks are your niche related ones and it is recommendable to use them for your niche site(s). It is good to submit/create backlinks to your web site manually. Yes, it is tedious, but the reward is awaiting – and it is the 1st place ranked spot! :-)
- That’s it! Now you know what your rival’s main power is and you can take advantage of it! And most importantly – you have the most valuable backlinks – niche related ones and you can use Scrapebox for your off page SEO campaigns and backlinking strategy!

Is there a site that can save the backlinks to a .txt file?
When using scrapebox to check backlinks for a site i dont get them all, just a few. So i thought a program that could save it to text would be a great solution
Search and use this one – “guru’s URL Grabber”. After installing it put the whole text into it and extract only the URLs of your competitors in .txt file.
Hi I want to know what is auto approve list ? What’s it’s meaning ? I am not getting the actual meaning of auto approve urls ?
There are 2 types of backlinks which you can create with Scrapebox software. 1. Auto approved and 2. Which need moderation from the web site owner/admin. Auto approved backlinks can be created from WordPress sites which has no moderation. Scrapebox scrapes these sites and you can create place your link(s) there.

I’m curious to find out what blog system you happen to be utilizing? I’m having some small security problems with my latest website and I
would like to find something more safeguarded.
Do you have any solutions?
It depends on your site’s goals. If if is a small site – use WordPress. If it is a catalog, or an e-store – use Joomla – both CMS have good protection and security! :-) Cheers, Alex

I was getting it hard to get backlinks for site.This will be usefull.

Thanks for tips. It is great for people like me who can not afford to spend 1000s for SEO :)
Thanks very much for this tip. Backlink watch to me is the best free backlink service out there and spying on your competitors will give you idea of where to get the right backlinks from.
I’ve been using Serpsite extractor tool for a while now to extract my competitors backlinks. It works well, tell me what you think about it: http://www.serpsite.com/extract-high-page-rank-backlink-tool/
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your info, looks like a good way to get competitors back inks. What do you think about some of the commercial tools such as ahrefs & majestic?
Do you think they will produce the same results as you achieved with your demonstrated? I know they are expensive but would you recommend anything else to save time with this process?
I would be very interested in your opinion as it seems your are quite knowledgeable in the SEO field.
Cheers
Ahrefs and Majestic are very nice tools – yes – I would recommend them!
Hey Alex,
Very good information! Once I have a list of my competitors backlinks can you suggest a tool to use that will go to my competitors backlinks and drop my anchor link automatically? I was thinking about a program called Ultimate Demon, but wasn’t sure?
I’m new to this and don’t want to make the mistake of spending time and money with the wrong information and sources. I also don’t want to become completely dependent on Fiverr. I know there’s good Fiverr gigs but I’d rather not depend on it.
Thanks Alex,
John
Search and use this one – “guru’s URL Grabber”. After installing it put the whole text into it and extract only the URLs of your competitors in .txt file.
thanks mate.
This is superb and I cannot thank you enough! I have really put my SB to use finally and will be following your methods to get my electricians site backlinks! all the best!
Hey alex, im also now using your methods with GSA SE ranker and its going well. Just thought you and others might want to check it out too. I have imported a ton of data to it and it does the hard bit with my scraped competitor data :)
Im not promoting or linked with GSA in any way – just a customer
i have a question! what to do with competitors back links?
Use the data of competitors backlinks to build backlinks to your site. It won’t hurt your SERPs, BUT first you have to check the quality of the backlinks! Only afterwards use them wisely!
Thank you for this useful tutorial, too bad I cant use Scrapebox on my PC…
Content is King, and a well structured website with easy to find information is key to building a great website, although it helps to use Google Adwords, I have also been using Free Facebook Likes to increase my traffic, it is free and many of your readers may like it!
Thx for sharing… just a rookie question. After getting allt he backlinks.. what are you doing with them ?
Let’s say you get the URL from a forum, you basically go to the same forum and create a backlink to your site ?
What to you recommend to proceed ?
Thank you for helping a bloody beginner !
