Scraping SERPs vs raiding a competitor's backlinks

Scraping SERPs vs raiding a competitor's backlinks
Where your prospect list comes from.

— SERP scraping with footprints: fresh, untapped sites nobody's hit. More work to vet, but virgin inboxes.
— Competitor backlink raid: pull a rival's link profile in Ahrefs, every site that linked to them takes guest posts in your niche, pre-qualified. Faster, but warm-for-everyone — your competitors raid the same list.

Use backlink raid to START a niche cold — instant 50 proven sites. Use SERP scraping once that list dries up and you want edge.

I raid 3 competitors, dedupe, that's 200 vetted prospects before lunch. Then footprints for the long tail.

Go do it.
