How is the priority score for each link opportunity calculated?

Every prospect receives a composite priority score from 0 to 100 so the strongest targets rise to the top of the list. The formula weights four signals: relevance is the heaviest at 0.35 because a topically aligned link outperforms a stronger but off-topic one, domain authority counts for 0.30, difficulty for 0.25 (an easy win scores 100, medium 70, hard 40), and contact availability for 0.10, rewarding prospects that come with an email or social profile. After those are summed, a link-type multiplier is applied: unlinked mentions get a 1.3x boost, broken links 1.2x, and skyscraper targets 1.1x, while low-trust directories are weighted down. This mirrors how paid suites triage outreach. Enter a keyword in the Link Building Finder to see scored, sortable prospects instantly.

What is the difference between broken-link building and unlinked mention outreach?

Both are reclamation tactics, but they target different gaps. Broken-link building finds a dead link on someone else's resource page and offers your working page as the replacement, helping an editor fix a problem they already have an incentive to solve. Unlinked mention outreach finds places that already name or reference your brand in text but never hyperlinked it, then asks them to turn that mention into a real link. Unlinked mentions usually convert highest because the publisher already knows and cited you, which is why this tool gives them a 1.3x priority boost versus 1.2x for broken links. Both beat cold guest-post pitches on win rate. Use the Link Building Finder's type filter to isolate broken-link and mention prospects, then sort by priority to work the easiest, highest-relevance wins first.

Does this tool crawl live websites to find real backlink prospects?

No, and it is important to be clear about that. The Link Building Finder does not crawl the open web or query a live backlink index. The opportunities it shows are realistic demo records generated from the keyword and niche you enter, designed for learning the workflow and modelling how prioritisation works rather than serving sites to email today. What you get for free is the scoring logic, the filters, the seven opportunity types, and the campaign tracker built around them. For a production campaign you would connect a backlink research API to feed in real domains, then apply the same triage discipline you practise here. Use the tool to rehearse scoring and filtering, so when you plug in live data you already know how to separate high-value targets from busywork.

How do I filter and export a shortlist of link prospects to a spreadsheet?

Once results appear, the finder behaves like a lightweight outreach CRM. You can filter by opportunity type, by a minimum and maximum domain authority range, by difficulty rating, and by status, then sort the remaining list by priority, domain authority, relevance, or discovery date in either direction. A common workflow is to filter to easy and medium difficulty, set a domain-authority floor, then sort by priority to surface the best wins. When your shortlist looks right, click Export to download a CSV containing each domain, URL, type, DA, relevance, difficulty, priority score, status, and any email or social contact, so you can hand it to a teammate or work it in a spreadsheet. Try narrowing the list in the Link Building Finder, then export it for your outreach tracker.

Why are some link types worth more than others in a link building campaign?

Each link type rewards a different tactic and carries a different effort-to-value ratio, which is why the tool covers seven of them. Unlinked mentions convert highest because the prospect already references your brand, so they earn the biggest priority boost. Broken-link replacements rank next, since editors want dead links fixed. Resource-page links are low effort when your content genuinely fits a curated list, while guest posts trade an article for a contextual link on a relevant publication. Directories, scholarship pages, and skyscraper targets round out a profile with niche listings, .edu links, and content you can outdo to inherit its backlinks. Understanding this mix is half of link building strategy. Use the Link Building Finder to filter by type and compare how each one scores against your keyword's relevance.

About the Link Building Finder

The Link Building Finder is a free workspace for planning, scoring, and tracking outreach prospects for a backlink campaign. You enter a target keyword and an optional niche, and the tool assembles a sample set of opportunities across seven common link types — resource pages, guest posts, broken-link replacements, unlinked mentions, directories, scholarship pages, and skyscraper targets. Each one carries a domain authority estimate, a relevance percentage, a difficulty rating, and a calculated priority score, so you can practise triaging prospects the same way you would in a paid suite.

One thing to be clear about up front: this tool does not crawl the live web or query a backlink index. The opportunities it shows are realistic demo records generated from your keyword, meant for learning the workflow and modelling how prioritisation works — not a feed of real sites to email today. For production link building you would connect a backlink research API; what this finder gives you for free is the scoring logic, the filters, and the campaign tracker around it.

How the priority score is calculated

Every opportunity gets a composite priority score from 0 to 100 so the best targets float to the top. The formula weights four signals and then applies a multiplier based on link type:

  • Domain authority — weighted at 0.30. A higher-authority domain passes more value.
  • Relevance — weighted at 0.35, the heaviest single factor, because a topically relevant link is worth more than a stronger but off-topic one.
  • Difficulty — weighted at 0.25, where an easy win scores 100, medium 70, and hard 40.
  • Contact availability — weighted at 0.10, rewarding prospects that come with an email or social profile you can actually reach.

After those are summed, a type bonus is applied: unlinked mentions get a 1.3× boost (the prospect already knows your brand, so the win rate is highest), broken links 1.2×, and skyscraper targets 1.1×. Directory submissions, being the lowest-effort and lowest-trust, are weighted down.

Filtering, sorting, and tracking a campaign

The finder is built to behave like a lightweight outreach CRM. Once results appear you can:

  • Filter by opportunity type, by a minimum and maximum domain authority range, by difficulty, and by status.
  • Sort the list by priority, domain authority, relevance, or discovery date in either direction.
  • Track status on each prospect — new, contacted, pending, acquired, or rejected — and bookmark the ones worth keeping.
  • Export the filtered list to CSV, including domains, URLs, scores, status, and any contact details, so you can hand it off or work it in a spreadsheet.

Your saved prospects and status changes are stored in your browser's local storage, which means they survive a page refresh and stay on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no sign-up, and the whole tool runs client-side in any modern browser, desktop or mobile.

Why the seven opportunity types matter

Each link type rewards a different tactic, and understanding the mix is half of link building strategy:

  • Resource pages earn a link by getting added to a curated list — low effort when your content genuinely fits.
  • Guest posts trade an article for a contextual link on a relevant publication.
  • Broken-link building offers your page as a replacement for a dead link an editor already wants fixed.
  • Unlinked mentions turn an existing reference to your brand into a real hyperlink, usually the highest-converting outreach you can do.
  • Directories, scholarships, and skyscraper targets round out a profile with niche listings, .edu links, and content you can outdo to inherit its backlinks.

Use the Link Building Finder to rehearse that prioritisation: score the prospects, filter to the easy high-relevance wins, and build the discipline before you plug in live data.
