Link Intersection Analysis: Finding Sites That Link to All Your Competitors
Link intersection analysis identifies websites that link to two or more of your competitors but not to you. These sites are already linking to content in your niche — they just haven't found you yet. They represent your highest-probability link building targets.
Why Link Intersections Are High-Value
If a site links to Competitor A and Competitor B but not you, it clearly covers your industry and links to similar content. It's far easier to earn a link from a site already predisposed to linking in your niche than from a completely cold prospect.
How to Use Link Intersection Data
Analyze the linking context: What content on the linking site includes competitor links? What format are they in (resource lists, citations, comparisons)?
Create matching or superior content: Ensure you have content that's as good or better than what your competitors offer on the linked topics.
Tailored outreach: Your pitch can reference that they already link to similar resources, making your suggestion a natural addition rather than a cold ask.
Prioritizing Link Intersection Targets
- Sites linking to 3+ competitors are highest priority
- Filter by domain authority to focus on high-value links
- Prioritize sites where the link is contextual (within content) rather than structural (sidebar, footer)
- Focus on sites in your exact niche rather than general directories
