Choose between page or domain.

Depending on your link building campaign, you may want to change your preferences here. Let’s say you’re looking for resource pages that you can list your website on. If so, you’ll want to select “Pages.” The Link Intersect tool will then prioritize pages that have links from multiple competitors, which will likely be resource pages that you can uae number data for your campaign. Now, let’s say you’re looking for publishers that talk about your competitors and are less concerned about linking to them on the same page. You want to find sites that link to multiple competitors, not pages. In this case, you’ll choose “Domains.” The system will then return domains that have links from multiple competitors and provide you with example pages, but you won’t be limited to pages that have multiple competitors.
In this example, I'm looking for resource pages, so I chose "pages" instead of domains.
Choosing your competitor sites
A common mistake at this point is to choose exact competitors. Link builders often copy and paste a list of their biggest competitors and cross their fingers for good results. What you really want are the best linking pages and domains in your industry - not necessarily your competitors.
In this example, I selected a horticulture page at a local university, a few North Carolina horticultural and wildflower associations, and a popular page that lists nurseries. Note that you can select a subdomain, domain, or exact page for each of these competing URLs. I recommend selecting the broadest category (domain broadest, exact page narrowest) relevant to your industry. If the entire site is relevant, go ahead and select "domain."
