Link analysis Tools

Check out your site’s backlink profile and compare to your competition. Search engines rank your website in large part based on your site’s inbound link profile because links are difficult to fake and represent recomendations or other sites “talking” about you — the more you are talked about the more relevant you become and thus the higher you rank.

• Open Site Explorer is built from SEOMoz’s Linkscape data (their own web index), and is a web-based, comprehensive and easy to use tool with tons of good data points.  One thing I really like is the unique linking root domains and the quick look at a site’s anchor text profile.
• Blekko offers a look at the web pages linking back to a site, similar to how Yahoo Linkdomain used to work
• We have a back link checking tool that makes it easy to query Blekko to view a domain’s inbound linking pages
• Majestic SEO has a really nice bulk backlink checking tool and offers a comprehensive set of paid link analysis tools
• We also have an anchor text analysis tool based on backlinkwatch.com.  Backlinkwatch has become a little spammy with their popups but once you get passed that the data is still pretty decent to look at.  ajmalseotipsandtricks.blogspot.com
