Is there any way to find out guest posting sites that are targeted by our competitive websites?

SEMrush and Ahrefs for backlink profiles. For guest post hunts, sift through these backlinks for "write for us" or similar phrases. SEMrush/Ahrefs won't filter these directly, so export and use Excel or Sheets to narrow down.

Hi, finally I'm back here in BHW.

Started with game hack niche before, now I'm starting my career as an SEO to help businesses and I'm hoping to get your insights to my query.

I have access to semrush and ahrefs, and I know how to view the referring domains of my competition.

Is there a way to identify those competitor's backlinks that are offering guest posting?

I have this initial knowledge of using Google search operators but can't get my head around it.

So let's say I have competitor backlink url 1, and would like to search that url for terms like "write for us, submit an article, etc."

How do I combine these G dorks: allintitle, allinurl, allintext?

How about if I want to check all those backlinks from my top 5 competitors? I read somewhere that this can be done in scrapebox, but what if i am to do it in Ahrefs or semrush?

Or how about utilizing google search, search operators and the ahrefs extension then extracting CSV?

Please help.

A website does not need to have a write for us page to accept guest posts. In fact, sites with such pages are not as desirable as ones without. If you want to know if a website accepts guest posts, you reach out to them.

Alright, I know how to check their backlink profile/reffering domains.

What you're telling me, is to do bulk, extract all their backlink profiles to excel/sheets, then filter?

I may be able to filter the DR, traffic and etc. But how do I identify if which domain is offering a guest post?

Do I manually check that domain? Or, can I use google sheets and place the search operator in each row?? This just came out while typing. Lol

In your spreadsheet, you can certainly filter by metrics like DR and traffic to prioritize potential targets. To pinpoint which domains offer guest posts, you'd usually need to check manually since Ahrefs and SEMrush won't specify this.

However, you can speed up the process. Add a column in your sheet with the formula to concatenate the domain with search operators like "site:example.com + 'write for us'". Then use this as a quick link to Google the phrase, taking you directly to pages that indicate guest posting opportunities.
