In this case study, we will go through how we found over 55 guest post opportunities<\/strong> for one of our clients. We show you the exact Google Search operators<\/strong> and the other tools we used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
We do not actually prospect with “write for us” and similar keyword additions anymore. Linkfarms and similar have catched on to this tactic, the quality of the results you get from using these GSC’s are decreasing by the minute.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
When you are prospecting for links. Use the same keywords but without the guest post additions.<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Information Gathering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our client wanted to receive guest post opportunities to fulfill his link-building campaign. The client only wanted to build links to his homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went through the homepage of his website and wrote down all the possible keywords we could use in Google to find link targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be best to look at the meta description and headlines used. This gives you a good view of the keywords the website tries to rank for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use the Google Ads<\/a> keyword planner if you need more keyword suggestions. Log in and put in your domain. Google now starts to discover relevant keywords on your selected page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort these keywords out, Google comes up with quite a few irrelevant keywords, but always gives you some new ones you didn’t think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Prospecting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prospecting is finding suitable link targets for your link-building campaigns. Aka, finding the websites you want a link from. We will do that with Google search operators<\/strong> and the keyword list we built in the last part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Google search for this;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keyword + \u201cwrite for us\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will give you all the results with a write-for-us page. You can go through every interesting Google result and do a quality check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important points you have to check are the following;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
