Competitor has 150,000 do follow backlinks, HOW?

[m8rk76]

Good Day,

I have been researching some competition to our business who has the number 1 ranking on Google.

When I researched them I realized they never had active social platforms, after some more digging I discovered they have 150,000 do follow backlinks.

I can only assume these are not organic and was wondering how they could possible obtain so many.

I would imagine this must be automated, wondering if anyone can help point me in teh correct direction to any automated solutions or possible any AI generated?

Hello there,I would caution against using automated or artificial means to generate backlinks, as this can be considered a violation of Google's guidelines and may result in penalties or a decrease in search engine rankings. It's important to focus on creating high-quality content and building natural, organic backlinks over time.

A competitor may accumulate 150,000 do-follow backlinks through various strategies. These include creating high-quality, shareable content that attracts organic links, engaging in outreach to other websites for guest posts or collaborations, utilizing social media to promote content, and participating in industry forums or directories. Additionally, they might employ SEO techniques, such as optimizing on-page content, earning press coverage, or leveraging influencer partnerships. Continuous effort, time, and a well-rounded approach to link-building can lead to a substantial number of do-follow backlinks, improving a website's visibility and authority in search engine rankings.

They may have purchased footer links from many websites.

There are many automated backlink tools out there, but their effectiveness is somewhat debatable. For the easier/spammier links you could use GSA, Scrapebox or Xrumer: these work mostly to make blog/image comments and forum profiles. Then there are some that can help you make blogs/real sites as well: you can try RankerX as well. I also think that these links work better for some niches, like adult or gambling, than they do for "cleaner" niches

Why not? Research their link building strategy, maybe you can copy it and have lots of backlinks as well)

It is highly questionable to gain 150,000 do-follow backlinks, let alone without proper social media activity. Here are some potential methods they might have used:

Automated Tools: Link building can be automated with the help of the recommended tools, such as Ahrefs, SEMrush, GSA Search Engine Ranker.

Guest Blogging: Writing articles to different blogs can earn backlinks.
Private Blog Networks (PBNs): Some companies build chains of sites for the back links and this is often dangerous.

Directory Submissions: They could have submitted their site to a myriad of web directories for links.

Content Marketing: Backlinks: Original and valuable content does not only attract readers; it can naturally draw in webmasters looking forward to referring to your content.

Outreach Campaigns: Further, linkbuilding can be conducted with intensive searching for such sites that can create links to the site itself.

AI Content Generation: Use of AI in fast content generation could probably be of help in gaining backlinks.

Yeah, 150k dofollow backlinks without an active social presence definitely sounds like they’re using some kind of automation or a massive backlink campaign. I’ve seen businesses do this through PBNs, link farms, or tools like GSA SER and Scrapebox. Some AI-based outreach tools can also help scale link-building, but in my experience, low-quality links can do more harm than good if Google catches on. If you’re looking into automation, it’s worth focusing on quality over sheer numbers to avoid penalties.
