Yes, PR Prowler is a great tool to find highly relevant link partners with decent PR. But sometimes we receive emails from users asking for other ways to use PR Prowler, or how we use it ourselves. This is a great question, because when you use a tool that streamlines the most tedious tasks in your link acquisition process you are only limited by your imagination when it comes to creative ways you can use that tool to take advantage of the fact that it does all the hard work.

That last sentence was kind of a mouthful, so let me explain. Consider the way most people find link partners without PR Prowler. They have to manually type in their chosen keyword in Google one at a time, then search through the search engine results to find “potentials”, then actually visit each “potential” and look quickly to see if they have a ton of outgoing links on the page they want their link on, then wait for the little green bar to display that page’s PR, then check Google for the number of backlinks that site has, then IF that page fits as a real “potential” look for a contact point or a feedback page, then log all of this data to a spreadsheet. That’s 1 “potential”. And not every one they visit will be real “potentials”, so they will have to do this probably 10 or 20 times for each 1 they find and add to their spreadsheet. Then after a few weeks or months their spreadsheet should have a decent number of “potentials” so they can go ahead and start manually contacting each one with a creative offer (read the article “Reciprocal Linking That Works”) to get a link. There goes another few weeks or months. Poor buggers.

Ok, back to my point. This is how most people would go about finding potential link partners, right? Using this method you can see that it’s almost impossible to tweak this extremely tedious process with other goals in mind, besides just finding potential link partners. What I mean is, what if they wanted to find only sites that actually contain a certain phrase within one of their pages, like “submit URL” or “add link”? Or what if they wanted to find only personal web sites that have a high PR but have no idea that there is actual value in PR? Or what if they wanted to create a “potential link partners” list for 10 keywords for 25 other completely different websites (that’s 250 more keywords)? You see what I’m getting at? They would have to run through that insanely repetitive, mundane, dreadful process for each and every keyword. How long would that take them? Right, forever.

You probably see my point by now. With PR Prowler doing all the leg work for you, you can get creative and search for things that you would never be able to find manually. With that said, here are a few ways that you can use PR Prowler as a Power User to get the most out of this gem:

Power Tip #1 >> Look for personal sites with high PR. There are millions and millions of web sites out there on absolutely every topic imaginable. Wouldn’t it be valuable to have a list of sites that are run by regular folks that have personal sites that are relevant to yours and have high PR, but have no idea the value of their site? Wouldn’t it be relatively easy to get these people to link to your great site? These people aren’t webmasters or business owners, heck they probably aren’t even very web-savvy, they simply have a web site that they work hard on to publish their information to the web. A lot of times these sites are chock full of content and because of that are extremely valuable link partners because they have a ton of natural backlinks pointing to them. So, how do you find them using PR Prowler? You have to be creative. Since these a personal sites, a lot of these people probably use a free web host like Geocities, DotEasy, Hypermart, Freewebs etc. And most of these free web hosts put a “powered by” or “hosted by” statement somewhere on the page. So, you simply look for that statement that is on every page hosted by that free host, then put that statement into PR Prowler (in quotes, exactly as it appears on the pages being hosted by the free hosts) along with your keywords and let PR Prowler uncover these gems for you. Or you can look for certain phrases like “my recipes site” if you are looking for recipe related pages. I just slapped this exact phrase into PRP and found these gems in 10 seconds: http://filmplus.org/recipes/ and http://www.911cheferic.com. PR Prowler will find tons of personal sites like this for you, you just have to be creative and tell it what to look for.

Power Tip #2 >> Make money using PR Prowler. Again, there are millions and millions of web sites out there on absolutely every topic imaginable. But good luck finding all those related to a specific category manually. With PR Prowler, this task is easy and you can create powerful lists of potential link partners for any keyword market. Think about that. You can use that power to make money using PRP as your “secret weapon”. Simply by creating laser targeted link partner lists for others. You could post a couple example link partner lists to a portfolio then sell your services to others. They have no idea that all you are doing is running PR Prowler and giving them the output. For all they know this is a manual process that takes you hours to create for them.

Power Tip #3>> Contact your competitors’ link partners. This feature of PR Prowler is often overlooked. All you do is set the Options to show only those sites that have a contact page (this will look for all possible contact page name variations such as contactus.html, contactus.php, contact.html, contactus.asp, feedback.html, about.php, etc.), then set your criteria in PRP to “0” and 1000 results, then “Prowl URLs” for a few of your competitors’ URLs and select the “Prowl Backlinks” checkbox. PR Prowler will return the list of all the backlinks for you competitors and the exact page where they can be reached. Now you simply contact them with a juicy offer (read the article “Reciprocal Linking That Works”). This is not spam at all, as you are simply using their posted information to get in touch with them, and PR Prowler did all the work to find them. Sweet, huh?

Power Tip #4>> Drill down to pin-point exact pages. When you use the manual method to find link partners described above this tactic is almost impossible. You would have to read the entire page for all “potentials” to look for specific words within those pages to pin-point what you are looking for. Since the search engines rank pages based on keywords and keyphrases, if you simply added the pin-point words to your search query it would take forever to find the best “potentials”. For example, let’s assume you want to trade links with sites about model trains. You would be looking for certain words such as “add URL”, “submit site”, “link to us”, “exchange links” etc. - these are your pin-point words. But if you simply add them to your search by searching for “add URL model trains” you will get a list of sites that contain all four of those words, sure, but you won’t get the list of the best sites for “model trains” that happen to contain your pin-point phrases. What you will get is sites that Google says are the best matches for that exact phrase, when what you are looking for is sites that are the best matches for “model trains”. See what I mean? What you need to do is find sites that are excellent model train sites that happen to contact your pin-point phrase(s), and doing this manually is very difficult. With PRP, all you do is specify your pin-point words (one per line) in the Options before you start your query, then do a regular Keyword Prowl for your targeted keywords, in this case “model trains”. The program will search through the top results for “model trains” and then search through each page very quickly and efficiently for your pin-point words. This will create a laser-targeted list of potential link partners that contain only the exact pin-point phrase you are looking for. And this is just one example. Your pin-point phrases can be things like “advertise with us” or “search our site” or “we recommend these” or “phone us”… and on and on.

I could go on and on listing more and more ways to use PR Prowler to your advantage, but I’m already close to 1500 words here and you may be drifting off by now (not everyone gets as excited about this stuff as I do, for some odd reason). But the main point of this article is to get you thinking about how you can use PR Prowler creatively. PR Prowler is an extremely powerful program and if you think outside of the box a little you will soon realize its true power.
