In the world of SEO, it’s not about who gets there first, but who gets there profitably. Buckle up!

Imagine if there was an SEO equivalent to the movie “Wall Street”. You have some charismatic guru in a $400 T-shirt and skinny jeans telling a hungry group of geeks how sexy and profitable backlinks are.

Three Sentences and You’re Hooked

You know what they say: “Content is king.” But let me tell you something. Without a robust backlink profile, even the best content can struggle to reach its potential audience. Let’s explore the proven ways to utilize Ahrefs and Feedspot for securing top-notch backlinks to increase site authority.

Domain Authority: Your Internet Street Cred

DA, or domain authority, is like your street cred in the virtual world of the internet. The higher your DA, the better your chances of ranking on search engine result pages (SERPs). This equates to more organic traffic and possibly higher conversions. Trust me, it’s as cool as it sounds.

The Road to DA Domination: Ahrefs and Feedspot

Increasing DA is no cakewalk. It requires a perfect blend of top-tier content, strategic backlink acquisition, user-friendly website design, and SEO optimization that hits the sweet spot. This is where our trusty companions, Ahrefs and Feedspot, step in.

You Need Real Tools

The best SEO strategy is a multi-tool approach. You’re going to have to invest in top-quality tools to get the job done. If you think that you’re going to compete with companies spending thousands of dollars a month by cobbling together a few free tools, you are far more optimistic than you should be.

Whether you’re running an affiliate niche blog or a full-blown authority website, you’re going to need to invest in your business to compete effectively. If a keyword is making money, chances are that there’s competition for it.

Ahrefs: Your SEO Swiss Army Knife

Ahrefs is like your SEO Swiss army knife — it’s packed with features. From dissecting your competitors’ backlink profiles to fine-tuning your on-page SEO elements, Ahrefs is a tool that content creators and site owners use in their search marketing utility belt.

Feedspot: Your Niche Navigator

And then we have Feedspot. Think of it as a radar that helps you navigate through your niche, identifying high-DA sites that accept guest posts. Trust me, every guest post is a door to potential backlinks that gradually boost your site’s visibility and authority.

You’ll be able to find both your top competitors as well as your compatriots who are in need of quality content in your shared interests. This is valuable information that allows you to increase your site’s popularity and credibility.

The Holy Grail: Quality Backlinks

Remember, in our quest for higher domain authority, nothing screams “valuable” to search engines louder than quality backlinks. It’s like each backlink is a thumbs-up from another site, vouching for your content’s relevancy and value.

You need to see what your competitors are up to and create content that’s just that much better. Reach out to other sites with your optimized posts and build a list of contacts that you can count on.

They’ll want the content, and you'll get the backlinks in return. This is another reason why you need to have top-notch content on your blog or site. When you approach a high-authority site with your proposal, they will take a look at what you have before saying “yes” or “no”.

The Ahrefs and Feedspot Backlink Blueprint

Getting high-quality backlinks can be quite a challenge, but with Ahrefs and Feedspot, we’ve got this covered. First, we dive into Ahrefs, using it to analyze the backlink profiles of our top competitors.

We’ll also use it to create great, optimized content that people want to consume.

We’ll already have great optimized content on our site (using our pro tools) and some positive feedback from our visitors. If you’ve been following along on the Authority Site Tutorials, you’ll have an idea of what

Then, we switch to Feedspot to scout out blogs within our niche that accept guest posts. Remember, each guest post is an opportunity to garner valuable backlinks.

Don’t forget, it’s about quality, not quantity. One backlink from a high-DA site is better than several from lower-DA sites.

User Experience: The Underestimated Game Changer

While backlinks and content are indeed crucial, let’s not forget the silent game-changer: user experience (UX). Google is like a kind host, wanting its guests to have a positive experience. Therefore, a good UX could mean higher rankings.

So, let’s get those loading speeds up, make our websites mobile-friendly, and ensure easy navigation.

To win the SEO game, you must play by Google’s rules. Give your target audience what they want. Satisfy each phase of the buying cycle with your content strategy to ensure that you get all phases covered.

Conclusion: DA Domination, One Step at a Time

DA dominance isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. It’s a constant cycle of learning, implementing, analyzing, and optimizing. Use your tools wisely to ensure that you hit that first goal of $100.00 a day.

You can do it. Building your website’s domain authority is one giant step in the process of having a secure investment. A high-ranking domain with great content pays off in multiple ways over the long term.

If you haven’t read the series on building digital real estate, start from the beginning.

Now we'll get into the nitty-gritty of how to make money off of your hard work. It's been a year since this project's inception, and early backers are itching to cash out or take advantage of their site’s growing traffic.
