Welcome to the Instant Prospector! The Instant Prospector is a link building tool that lets you generate large, customized lists of link prospects in just minutes. Table of ContentsInstant Prospector OverviewOntolo's Instant Prospecting Tool allows you to quickly create link prospect lists for specific link opportunities such as directories, guest posts, or sponsored links. First, enter the topics of links you want to find (Prospecting Phrases) and the types of links you want to find (Footprint Templates). We will then go find link prospects that match those details. Next, we organize the link prospects by a simple scoring system based on how often the prospect shows up in results and what its actual search rank is. We calculate this score for domains, subdomains, and URLs. Finally, export a CSV with each of the scores (we defult to sorting by domain scores) making your list easy to quickly review in a prioritized manner.
