How to Find Good Backlink Sites 

1. Use Backlink Research Tools

These tools let you analyze your competitors and find where they get their backlinks from:

Tip:

Use Ahrefs or SEMrush to analyze your competitors’ domains, and export their backlinks.

2. Search for Backlink Opportunities via Google

Use advanced search operators like:

your keyword + "write for us"
your keyword + "submit a guest post"
your keyword + "inurl:resources"
your keyword + "intitle:top 10"

Example:

digital marketing "write for us"

3. Broken Link Building

• Find dead links on relevant blogs or resource pages.

• Contact the site owner and offer your content as a replacement.

Tools for this:

• Check My Links (Chrome Extension)

• Ahrefs Broken Link Checker

4. Guest Posting

• Identify authoritative sites in your niche that accept guest articles.

• Pitch them original, relevant content with a natural backlink to your site.

5. Use HARO (Help a Reporter Out)

• Sign up at https://www.helpareporter.com/

• Respond to journalists’ questions with expert answers.

• If selected, you get a backlink from major publications (like Forbes, Mashable, etc.).

6. Local & Niche Directories

• Submit your site to reputable local directories and industry-specific directories.

• Avoid spammy general directories.

7. Social Media & Forums (NoFollow but useful)

• While these usually give NoFollow links, they still drive referral traffic and brand visibility:

  • Quora

  • Reddit

  • Medium

  • LinkedIn Articles

  • Niche forums

Pro Tip: Use the "Backlink Gap" Tool

In SEMrush, you can enter your domain and competitor domains, and it shows where they have backlinks and you don’t — a great shortcut!

Avoid These

• Paid link farms

• Private blog networks (PBNs)

• Spammy directories

• Too many links from the same domain

These can hurt your SEO and lead to Google penalties.
