Link grow from month to month
-
Using SEOmoz tools what is the best way understand what are the new link only acquired from month to month? For example if I had 450 links in February and then grew to 500 in March? I would specifically like to know what those 50 are that grew. How can i do that?

I'd export the links into excel each month and then use VLOOKUP to check which existed the previous month with those that didn't being the new links.

Dear inetteam,
I use OpenSiteExplorer.org and i export my backlinks to an excel workbook.
- I paste the data on Sheet 1
- I Create a pivot table on Sheet 2 (left side bar are the links and I drop PA in Data Items fields)
Each time there is an update (monthly) i copy the data and paste them in the Sheet 1. then i go to sheet 2 and adjust the "Data Source" (list is bigger now) and i click refresh data.
normally all the new links will appear under the last link of last month.
I bet there is other Mozzers can do this in another way or better

I would like to know this too. The OSE (opensiteexplorer) db (well, Linkscape db) is updated about every 4 weeks and will show you the backlinks. But I dont think it says "this set is new from the last crawl" and that would be very helpful. Maybe go to http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/485551-improve-competitor-tracking-in-the-competitive-link-tool and vote for an improved backlink tracking feature.

Refferal links
I have a site where I can pick up where my hits came from. So if somebody clicks from another website link to visit my website, I will then pick up from which website they came from and also which page they landed on. Will google penalize me for this and see this as paid advertising?

Spammy links
Hi Guys, I have a case which seems to occur more often for our customers. The websites of our customers seem to receive tons of backlinks from websites all over the world (China, Russia, Ukrain, etc). It’s spam we never asked for, we didn’t buy any dodgy linkbuilding packages or anything. Do any of you guys have experience with this matter? We try to disavow the links but it takes too much time and we will never manage to disavow 100% of all links. Examples are www.keukensduitsland.nl and www.m2beveiliging.nl Hope anyone has experience and maybe even solutions for this matter. Thanks!

Internal Linking
OSE only shows me as having 24 internal links on my home page. My internal links and total links are far less than my competitors, some of whom have 1700 on a single page. My site is www.CenterCityTeam.com and an example of a competitor with far more internal links is www.McCannTeam.com. 1) How do I get that many internal links on a page and 2) do I even want to?

Using sitewide links to improve link profile?
Hi Guys... When I look at my competitor's link profile, they often have thousands of backlinks. For example, one of our main competitor, he got 3,400 backlinks in total but only 80 referring domains. When I look at my link profile, I have around 50-60 referring domains, but hardly 80 backlinks. My question is, is it okay to get a few sitewide links (no-follow of course!) to get to the thousands backlinks? Or I will be able to achieve top rankings with my current link profile? Thanks!!

Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?
