Backlinkchecker tool recommendation
-
Hi,
I am looking for reliable backlink checker tool. I'd appreciate if you could recommend me what you use?
Thanks

It depends what you mean by backlink checker tool.
If you're talking about competitive & research analysis then OSE, MajesticSEO and ahrefs are fantastic tools.
If you're requiring backlink monitoring tools for your own projects I would recommend these three great tools: Raven, Buzzstream, CognitiveSEO.
hth,
Phil

I highly recommend that tool as well. Great mention, Kyle!

Tom is spot on with tools for a link profile analysis.
If you know that you are being penalized by Google (via a warning message) i would also suggest checking out www.linkdetox.com to give you a quick run down on what are good, bad, and suspicious links for removal.
Good luck!

SEOMoz's own OpenSiteExplorer is very useful. The metrics it uses to rank pages are widely considered to be very accurate, while the new 'just discovered' feature is a great way to check on links as they are indexed.
I use it in conjunction with MajesticSEO - which has a larger link database and also some very accurate metrics in the form of Trust Flow and Citation Flow.
Many people I know also recommend Ahrefs.
Hope this helps.

Link Building Recommendations Please
Hi - I am responsible for a small but growing number of websites for companies that serve the elderly population. I need help with link building for these websites and I'm looking for suggestions on finding one or two professionals to whom I can outsource that work. 1. Can you recommend anyone for this need, someone I can contact who you know to be qualified and professional? 2. Can you give me an idea of what such services should cost? Thanks!

But my question is if for example sites like e.g. : http://www.linguee.de Linguee is one of the best dictionary sites where you can search for phrases and receive common translation examples which are very helpful. Liguee set some links to my site because they take texts usually from multilingual sites to gather examples.
A dictionary site does not have nothing to do with my business but also I don't consider that this might my harm my site? What do you think?0 -
Is there a tool to find out our website's link in some other website?
sometimes we know our site link is there on a site but the site is so big its hard to search manually. Is there any tool which can crawl the whole site and find the page having our site link ? though I know about OSE, and we can also see backlinks from webmaster tool. But still if you know any tool where instead of seeing the whole back link profile, we can add a specific url and see our site link in that url.

Forgot the name of a cool SEO Tool... Help!
I recently discovered a cool SEO tool. I didn't write it down, save it, bookmark, etc... And now I can't remember the name of the tool for the life of me, but I'd really like to use it again. I was hoping I could list of the features that I remember, and one of you Mozzers know what I'm talking about. It was a backlink analysis tool. It had a free version, and after you performed so many searches/searched so many backlinks, you had to pay. From what I remember it was a fairly nominal fee with the most popular package in around $25. The reason that I liked it so much was you could take an OSE csv file, dump it in there, and it would sort all of the links by link type, i.e, footer, comment, directory, etc... Then it would put it all into a nice pie chart for you and show you the % of the total links that each link type made up. It would also analyze the anchor text and would show you every anchor text used, and the % of the total each one made up.
