Links are very important to increase your search engine rankings. You should focus on getting as many links as you can through legal and ethical means. One of the ways you can find places to get more links from is by doing an analysis of your competitors’ websites.
Many people are in constant search of finding more places to get a link from. However not many people realize that their competitors can give them clue about where to look for new links.
The strategy I am referring to entails finding out the websites from where your competitors are getting their links. Chances are that you too can get some links from the exact same places.
Let me outline the strategy for you in simple step by step format:
1. Search in Google for a broad or long tail keyword related to your niche.

I am in a hurry today, but I will leave you guys with a quick and juicy tip. As far as linkbuilding goes, every small bit helps, right? If that is the case, there is one Google service that you can use to grab an easy PR10 backlink: Google Profiles.
