How can I find Hidden PBN backlinks?

Hello, I noticed that my competition is ranking for high difficulty keywords and their backlinks aren't all that great. I am guessing that they have a bunch of PBNs that they are hiding from big crawlers such as Ahrefs, Moz, and so on. Is there any way I can find these hidden PBN links?

use Kwfinder

you can analyze your competitor and decide what things you want to do to bear the competitor.

such as

- content quality / content word count
- keywords he used , search volume, positions
- backlinks he used, backlinks quality DR,DF, traffic
- inner links he used
and many more, I personally use it to get the idea to rank better than my competitor.

Use Bing, most people who hide their PBN links block ahrefs, Semrush and other crawlers. It seems most of them forget to block Bing crawlers.

Any discount please

TL;TR. Here is the trick

More info about this:

If you use less popular crawlers, you might have a little possibility of finding it.
There are crawlers database that keep expanding every day, including all those. But also the crawlers expand.
Not long ago, for example, the SERP STAT crawlers were not being blocked by many PBN therefore many link analyst found that SERP STAT was even better performing that other super-popular tools like Ahrefs and Semrush for this reason. Nowadays most sites are blocking serp stat so it's time to find other alternatives.
Personally I have not been in the need for this, which I find almost useless (if they are using PBN just use them too, unless you want to report to Google, which is a little weak-minded, moreover if you are browsing a forum like this). Therefore I cannot say you a good alt-crawler that is not blocked any more (in case it already exist).

or try raw searching using google, sometimes it works

If the network is set properly then it will be very difficult to find the hidden PBN backlinks.
We can find by following reverse engineering technique, by using alternative link checker tools, and Google operators.

Find an obscure SEO tool the network owner did not think to block.

According to my point, there is no such sort of hidden backlinks. As far as SEO named it as ******** and NoFollow Links.

If you are willing to comprehend the competitor's backlinks, there is a tool called SemRush. Which assists you to do in-depth research to analyze competitors.
The website can hide its backlinks from competitors. The trick is to use .htaccess and robots.txt in combination to disallow the major bots from crawling the website to check the backlinks


The vast majority of them focus on blocking the most popular bots from crawling, you need to find new and lesser-known bots to check the backlinks.

Smart competitors would routinely check the server logs for new bots and update the block list, you have to keep ahead of your competition to find newer and proficient backlinks.
