So my team and I selected 100 websites from 43 different SaaS categories & looked into their "best by links" report in ahrefs
We ignored homepages, product guides, and anything that could not be made for marketing purposes.
Then we categorized the pages with the most number of links & 2nd most number of links acc. to the content type
We came up with 11 major content types - Listicle, guide, how to, What is, research piece, industry news, company news, stats, free template, infographic, white paper
so the top 3 content types for pages with the most links are:
What is X (27.7%) - in these posts you basically explain a term or concept in your industry
Listicle (20.8) - in these you list tactics, benefits etc depending on the keyword
Guide (10.9%) - Comprehensive posts around a topic that cover both the what & how.
& the top 3 content types for pages with the 2nd most number of links are:
How to (20.8%)
Listicle (18.8%)
What (15.8%)
Here is the data - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17RPHv_VMDiphahhaW40-rTkhVNTFdxdJgSle2OzklCo/edit?usp=sharing
