Here I am trying to present the tactics in a super easy way. With a free powerful backlink finder tool as a bonus.

Basically, you have to find outdated content with a lot of links and create content with the same topic covering more (key features, well researched, visual elements, in-depth) than that. Be careful your content should be unique. That means your content should provide more unique value.

Note (01 Apr 2017): This article was originally published in Blogger Funda Group, as Funda Tip 3 by Nilanjan Mukherjee 

After publishing your content, just reach out to those who linked the outdated content. Share your content's comparison with the outdated one in a nutshell. Suggest them to use your content as an alternative.

If you proposed 100 peoples to link your content then there must be 30-40 who will link back to you. But remember one thing your content should be more valuable.

Now how to do that?


If you have Ahrefs than it is damn easy. Just use the content explorer and search for that keyword. Filter the results with a minimum of 100 referring domains to the article.

Then find outdated content manually.

An outdated article has some typical features like,
  1. Short word count
  2. Lack of visual elements
  3. Not well researched
  4. Not updated as well
  5. etc.


Now create a new one by yourself. Fill the gaps expertly which not covered in the outdated one.

Reach them who linked the outdated post and show your article. You must have to share the points which you covered in a nutshell.

They will more likely to use your content link as an alternative.


But what to do when you don't have Ahrefs?


Just do some extra tasks. Find the outdated content with Google search. Keep fetching all the results one by one until an ideal one found.

Now how to check the backlinks of those posts when you don't have Ahrefs.

Here is a bonus.

Monitor Backlinks


Monitor Backlinks is quite a powerful backlink tool like Ahrefs. 🔗🔗

This tool is also paid but they provide a 30 days free trial as well.

After expiring of the trial period you can create a new account with a new email address. This trick is working fine now.

And now you have followed the same processes as I mentioned above.

Find an outdated content with a lot of referring domain in your niche - create a new one with more unique value - reach them who linked the outdated one - share your content's features in a nutshell - ask them to use your link as an alternative 🔗🔗

That's all. The skyscraper technique is now simplified. Enjoy 😁

One more time content is king 👑 always try to create more unique value in your article.

I will cover unique value in depth in the next tip.
