\"SEO<\/a>We can all agree that one of the basic principles of SEO is assessing the back links going to your competitor\u2019s websites. In fact, you may have heard the age-old advice that you should keep a list of your top three competitors<\/a>, continually check their back links, and try to replicate them. This actually works quite effectively if you are hoping to rank high for targeted keywords and want to beat out your competition.<\/p>\n

But what if your competition is doing the same thing to you?<\/p>\n

This is where the art of hiding your back links comes into play since they will become invisible to your competition so that they cannot be replicated. With the advice given above, any of your competitors could check out where your links are coming from, like directory submissions, and then submit to the same directory to get the same links and even more than what you already have. This is an easy SEO concept to use for yourself, but to make sure that your competitors do not use it against you, you need to hide your back links.<\/p>\n
