How should I conduct my first round of link building?
Hi everyone,
I recently had a publishing website developed. I’m now starting a link building campaign for the first time in an attempt to rank better in the SERPs for a list of keywords relevant to the website.
So far, we are on the 3rd step of our link building campaign, which is as follows.
**Step 1**: Download competitor backlinks from Ahrefs and organize them in Excel.
**Step 2**: Comb through the links to find relevant referring domains.
**Step 3**: Use [hunter.io](https://hunter.io) or [snov.io](https://snov.io) to find the relevant emails for the chosen referring domains.
**Step 4**: Start sending emails (100 at a time) with a value proposition in the email.
What I’m unsure of is:
1. How effective is the method comprising of these steps going to be? If, some part of it or all of it will be ineffective, what can I do to change that?
2. How many links should I be aiming for? Is it simply the more the links, the better? Assuming a good mix of high, low, and medium domain ratings here.This is my first link building campaign, so please excuse my ignorance. Just looking for some guidance, so I can do better. Thank you.

High DA sites will ignore you if your content is not relevant to them.
High DA = More Ego = Not easy to get backlinks. = Email deleted without opening or looking at the content.
Try to hit low DA sites, they are much likely to think about it as they are also looking to build relationships with another blogger in the same nice (to get more backlinks)
I’m daily sending 50 emails per day to low DA sites (40-50 or less) and among them, 6-7 reply to me. Out of them, 3-4 asks for money ($100 or more for links) and rest say “looks good” but I’m not sure they have linked to me or not. But I have got a few backlinks as well.
The truth is I’m getting more natural backlinks than these beg-links. (you have to beg if you’re new and if you have got money go and buy links just like others are doing)
Final say – don’t stop, send 100 emails as you are doing now. It’s worth trying than doing nothing. (You don’t have to spend much on it though (if you are doing now) instead invest it to buy PBN links or expired domains and redirect to your main website).

Why don’t you try running a Google search for your competitor.. view the page with 100 searches. Use a link grabber and get all the links. Put it on an excel. And just create the ones ur missing out on.
Do not create every backlink u see on 3rd party tools. They can harm ur website than do any good

Your approach seems solid. My only comment is that you consider the DA (domain authority) of the sites you’re looking for a backlink from. Perpetually low-quality domains will hurt you in the long run. I also agree with EinsStark that building natural links are the way to go. Create a content strategy for that.

There’s not enough info for anybody to give you a solid answer TBH.
depends on the quality of your website, depends on the nature of the content, depends on the nature of the pitch.
If I ran a shoe store, and someone emailed me pitching a round up of the top five hiking boots article that they wrote, I’m a look at it and say “shit, I’m not going to rank to some other assholes website but that looks like a good article I could write and put on mine!”
However, if you’re an independent textiles researcher and you just verified that the specific type of leather that’s used in all the shoes I sell is objectively healthier in the long term, then I’m going to link to your summary of your research quick fast and in a hurry.
Link building is obviously about links, but the deeper context is about the value providing and the value people are seeking. When those values line up is when you see success. When they don’t align, that’s when you send out 100 emails and don’t get a single backlink as a result.
