Let’s say you’re doing SEO for a productivity app. Wouldn’t it be useful for you to get a list of all websites that mentioned the words “productivity app” somewhere in the content?

I’m sure it will be. This is because you can then reach out to them and try to negotiate and get a link from their website, right?

Well, that is exactly what Ahrefs’ Content Explorer can help you with. Just do a search for “productivity app,” and you’ll get a list of over 78,000 pages that mention this phrase somewhere in their content.

But you probably don’t need that many. No worries. You can use a bunch of filters in Content Explorer to trim that list down to the very best pages only:

Dividing the workload like this whatsapp number list allows both the vendor and the affiliate to focus on their strengths. The improvements are similar on desktop and mobile. Most of the focus in 2021 was on mobile results.

Domain rating: 40 to 90

Website traffic: From 1k

Language: English

Exclude subdomains

Exclude homepages

One page per domain

Filter explicit results

Content Explorer results with filters applied

These settings will leave you with just 3,000 out of 78,000 pages. And you can always tighten your filtering even more if you need to further shrink your list of link prospects.
