Finding freshest backlinks
-
Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for your help, I am doing some competitor analysis and noticed that one of our competitors had a massive spike in the number of baclkinks it received in the past month.
Is there a tool or a method I can use to determine what links they have picked up in the last few weeks, by filtering by age of link?
Many thanks
Al

Since discovered 'Advanced Link Manager' and its proving to be very handy.

We use Open Site Explorer, also recently we have been using Hubspot which has a freshness ranking on the links, but we have found this to be very unreliable just from its analysis of our links.
We are looking into using Majestic SEO and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations of tools that provided this information.
Thanks

Never came across this kind of tool that can tell you when link went up or down. Your best shot would track them manually.

What are you using to track links? Many back link checking tools offer the ability to see new links added over a time period.
Even if you have a simple excel file of the back links your competitor had on day x, you can run a new check on day y and filter out the ones that previously existed.
Hope this helps.

For easy maintaince it would be handy if we can create a page on our server that is embed on the website of our clients. Is it possible to do this so there is no negative SEO? (google will rate this page and the content perfectly) best regards, Vincent

Handmadearea.com - anyone know what this is? Bizarre backlinks!
I have noticed just this week a lot of new backlinks from a site called handmadearea.com - for example http://handmadearea.com/url/hp-printer-software-zpe-center/. It looks like the site is somehow stripping my content structure and inserting spam where my content goes. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Should I be worried about it? The backlinks are not showing in Google Webmaster Tools so I can't easily disavow them at this point. Are they likely to be doing me harm? What can I do about them?

How to remove backlinks?
Hey guys, With all this anti over optimization movement going around with Google, I decided to do a link building profile audit. I see some pages with PR 0 and some pages that expired. My websites are not penalized at this moment, however I do want to avoid this at all costs. What can I do? Could a backlink from an expired domain penalize my site?

Backlinks not showing up in the campaign crawl
I have been adding backlinks, about 110 since the last crawl, but only 14 new linking domains showed in my campaign profile. Can someone explain? Is it that the linking domains were not crawled and thus not seen. Is it that the crawl posting is from data that was crawled a long time ago (4-6 weeks ago) and it took a while for it to show up is it that the domains i got links on were, possibly, not so hot and just get filtered out?
