Inside the guide
Review the relationship behind the link
Ask why a referring page would send its readers to yours. Topic relevance, editorial context and a useful destination matter more than treating every link as interchangeable. Distinguish an earned recommendation from an arrangement that exists only to manipulate search.
Build something worth referring to
Start with original evidence, useful tools or a well-supported explanation. Match outreach to the publication and reader rather than promising an automatic authority increase from a link count.
Work through the guide
Use the downloadable guide for its complete examples, audit checks and reference list. Record the page or entity reviewed, the evidence available, unresolved questions, an action owner and a review date. Keep assumptions separate from observed findings.
