How Clique Hunter Works

Using Clique Hunter is straightforward. It identifies domains that link to multiple sites within a specific vertical. For instance, you can start seeking your competitors most influential backlinks by entering up to ten root domains. It's that simple.

Clique Hunter lets you visualise these backlinks through a graphical representation or explore them in a detailed tabular format. You can further analyse and prioritise your link building efforts with options to export this data.

Clique Hunter can help identify websites linking to your competitors but not to you - here's how:

• Enter a list of domain names or URLs in your niche - for example, your website and nine of your top competitors.
• Choose the index (Fresh or Historic) you wish to use for the analysis and click the COMPARE button.
• Clique Hunter will return a list of domains with a count of how often each links to your group's domains (or URLs).
