How Can Link Research Tools Help Us Write Better Content?
There are multiple ways that the services offered by Link Research Tools can help us write content that delivers better SEO performance and increases the chance of being linked by trusted domains.
Keyword Analysis
Link Research Tools can significantly help you write better content by identifying promising keywords that can deliver fast SEO results.
Keyword analysis is a crucial starting point for writing better content.
The ‘Competitive Keyword Analyzer (CKA)’ too quickly allows you to run analysis on the competition and returns a set of results identifying:
- ‘Low hanging fruit’ keywords.
- Those keywords that have achievable rankings.
- Detailed profiles of the top-ranking pages and content for each keyword.
You can perform a Top 10 analysis on up to 25 keywords and produce a heat map which can help focus your efforts in a more effective and organised way.
Keywords are an essential component of better content writing and help keep the focus on delivering material that not only connects with the users but also performs well in SERPs.
Competitor Analysis
Understanding what content your competitors are receiving their strongest links can help you identify ways to outperform them by being ‘just a little better’.
With Link Analysis Tools you can evaluate the competition’s websites and links plus pinpoint those pages which are performing the best including any sub-pages and sub-folders.
Learning where the strongest links are coming from can help you tailor your content to
Tools like the ‘Competitive Landscape Analyzer (CLA)’ can be deployed to scrutinise the link profile of a competitor’s domain and give you powerful insights into data, like:
- Link Type ratio (redirects, mentions, rel-canonicals, image etc.).
- Link Velocity Trends.
- No Follow/Follow ratios.
- Backlink trust metrics.
- Keyword rankings.
Identify the Strongest Subpages
Not all pages of a website are created equally and even a domain with a strong and trusted profile may have subpages that outperform others. This can be a vital method for identifying not only what kind of content to produce but where to publish it.
The ‘Strongest Subpages Tool (SSPT)’ from Link Research Tools is the easiest way to run a report on any domain to find what inner pages have the best authority. Once you know which pages are the strongest, you can use this to identify where to promote your content.
It makes perfect sense to find the strongest place to publish your content.
Of course, link research tools and content are only a part of the whole jigsaw puzzle that is SEO.
