Majestic SEO, one of the advanced SEO third party link reporting services, announced they are now updating their linkage data to be as fresh as within hours or minutes. Instead of waiting 24 hours for the link reports to update, Majestic SEO is pushing updates throughout the day, almost hourly, so webmasters can see new links to their content sooner. Majestic SEO says this is important when you want to track the progress of acquired links to new viral content or other content that may have a seasonal appeal. Currently, this is only visibile on the main site explorer reporting engine. [...]

Of all the tasks associated with content advocacy (I have never actually liked the term link building, and my business card has never included those words, plus doesn't 'content advocacy' just sound better than link building?), there are a few tasks that are a genuine PITA. There have been many tools created to help manage the processes of link building content advocacy. Most of the tools are designed to help analyze backlinks, help pre-define link prospecting query strings,  provide some sort of page scoring, or identify a contact address. Some tools are costly, some are free. There have [...]

Majestic SEO announced a new set of link metrics they came up with that should give Google's PageRank metric and SEOmoz's MozRank a run for their money. Majestic SEO's new metrics are named Flow Metrics and are grouped into two categories; trust flow and citation flow. Citation Flow is a number of predicting how influential a URL might be based on how many sites link to it. Trust Flow is a number predicting how trustworthy a page is based on how trustworthy sites tend to link to trustworthy neighbors. What Do Flow Metrics Look Like? Let's compare Search Engine Land to Search E [...]

Next up in our tool review series is Majestic SEO's suite. There are 4 levels of access with one being free (and limited) and the others being grouped by the amount of reports/access to their API needed. (Note: the free package may still require you to register in order to see a fuller dataset.) Paid plans range from £29.99 to £250.00 per month, excluding VAT (and for those of you not familiar with VAT, it's a value-added tax on the purchase price.) For our purposes here in Link Week, I'll be reviewing the Site Explorer, Backlink History, Neighbourhood Checker, and Clique Hunter. Basic [...]

The team behind Link Diagnosis has announced a list of updates to their popular link analysis/SEO tool. Two of the updates, in particular, provide a fix for a pair of disappointing features that I wrote about last year when Link Diagnosis completed a major relaunch. First, the result sets have been expanded from 100 to 1,000 pages. At its relaunch last September, the tool only analyzed the top 101 indexed pages from a domain. Second, Link Diagnosis now shows all inbound links from a single site. The September relaunch limited site owners to seeing only one inbound link from each domain. [...]

SEOmoz has launched Open Site Explorer, a new tool that joins the already crowded field of link analysis tools. In choosing that name, SEOmoz is somewhat blatantly positioning it as a competitor, and perhaps eventual replacement, for Yahoo's popular Site Explorer tool. Open Site Explorer provides a number of data points pulled from SEOmoz's Linkscape tool and its index of the web. It shows stats such as overall link counts and a count of domains that link to a URL, along with anchor text distribution and more. A helpful feature is the ability to compare two domains side by side. Alth [...]

At SMX East today, Linkdex is introducing its new SearchDNA tool -- a link analysis tool that the company says goes deeper than the already crowded field that it's competing against. While some link tools only show up to 1,000 links (think Yahoo Site Explorer), Linkdex says SearchDNA has a database of about one trillion links. It gets that data via a partnership with Majestic SEO, which also offers its own link analysis tools. So, what makes SearchDNA different if they're using the same data? According to Linkdex CEO John Straw, SearchDNA goes beyond compiling a list of links and doe [...]

Link Diagnosis, one of the most well-known link analysis tools around, has new owners, a new look, and some fairly substantial changes under the hood. But are all the changes an improvement? Well, after testing a beta version for a few days, and now using the new site that launched today, my answer is ... yes and no. Some of the changes add value to what Link Diagnosis offers, but others may leave you wanting to use the old version again. (And you can; more on that below.) What's New Obviously, the look and feel is the first change you'll notice. The new Link Diagnosis sports a more mod [...]
