Utilizing DML
First, I would suggest you install the SEO Quake Toolbar extension for Firefox or Google Chrome on your computer.
If you are using this for the first time, it will emphasize the Google Search results with much-needed data for each of the search results which will include Alexa Rank, Google PageRank, and SEMRush data.
This will further ensure that you get much more needed data quickly and assess each result to find out if adding your link is worth it.
You can possibly save the data results to a CSV file provided you are using the Google Chrome extension. You can later click to open the CSV file already saved in Excel and utilize its sorting functions to filter through the data using its sorting features.
More awesomely, some sifting mechanisms have recently been added to Drop My Link. So, whether you’re using some broad keywords or not using at all to search, getting a ton of results to filter through is guaranteed.
Note that the site uses results from any given time period by default, but you can utilize the time navigation to sift results by Last week, month, or year. This is the right way to ensure that the link sources you need at any given moment are relevant and fresh.
Furthermore, if you want to reveal those extremely prominent .gov or .edu links, utilize the TLD navigation filter. Though this doesn’t suffice all footprint types, you will surely attain amazing results with forum & blog links.
