I am looking for a software to keep track of the back links or link building
-
Hi Guys,
I am very new hear. I just joined. I have a few websites that I need to manage. I am looking for a software that will allow me to manually add the links that I have been able to acquire. It would also be a bonus if it could search for the links to my site and to see if its still active. Because I have a freelancer working a few hours a week on link building and I need to keep track of the links. I am looking for something simple and good. Any suggestions?
By the way, I used Raven Tools many years ago, and it had this feature. But since joining Moz, I don't want to be paying for 2 subscriptions. And I don't know if Raven still has this feature.
Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

You could just use excel and/or google sheets to keep track of your indexed and not indexed urls. It's not very elegant but should work. Here a useful article on the topic.

Hi GR,
Thank you so much, this helps a lot.

Ryan, in the Backlink Audit, there is a button Add backlinks, there you add your links created and/or not found by SEMrush.
This image might help: https://imgur.com/a/zZQvzHope it helps.

Hi GR,
I have come across and used SEM Rush briefly a number of years ago. However, I don't remember SEM Rush having a feature that would allow me to manually add a new link I just acquired from a blog or a friends website as an example. Does it do this?
Thanks.

Hello Ryan!
From the tools that I know, use and/or used, what you are looking for is what SEMrush offers, its backlinks crawler is not the best, but can be hugely improved by adding a Majestic account.
Before you decide for SEMrush, be sure to watch all their videos and tutorials, its a really complete suite and it may help you in other projects. Take a look here: Kwnoledge Base - SEMrushFor backlinks discovery, the top 3 tools are ( IMO, in this order): ahrefs, majestic, Moz OpenSite Explorer.
Hope it helps.
Best Luck.
GR

Is there a way to use your other web properties for successful link building
We have two websites that align with it each other: Site #1 - Industry editorial website that provide high quality, original and current content. This site is mature and has high authority relatively speaking. Site #2 - Industry resource website that educates general public and insiders about the industry. Content is professionally written with fantastic art and basically breaks down different manufacturing processes/materials and walks people through the benefits. Would it be a sound approach to add anchor text/link within articles on site #1 to site #2? Below are a few scenarios: Article on site #1 is talking about using [manufacturing process] to make something and site #2has a page that describes [manufacturing process] in great detail. Article on site #1 is talking about using [material] and site #2 has a page that describes **[material]**in great detail. Article on site #1 is talking why its beneficial to use a particular [material] or [manufacturing process] and site #2 has a page that describes all benefits of [material] or [manufacturing process] in great detail. Obviously, this will only be sprinkled in here and there and not in every article. It should provide users with more insight but will SE's see it that way?

Creating your own blog for back linking to your site
Our competitor seems to be linked to a blog that they have created themselves. From an SEO perspective is it worthwhile creating a blog that is related to your particular industry and then only including links back to your site. Also is there any way to upload ,articles etc automatically to the blog to cut down on the people hours involved in updating content?

Strategy When Building Links
When you build links do you keep track of every single link that you put out there? Or do you start and what to see what shows up in OSE? Some of these links take time so you would have to go back and check to see if it stuck. Im just trying to put together a procedure to follow. Also spread they out correctly, org, .net ,. com blogs, blog posts. etc Just curious how everyone else does it, so its easier to manage & track. Thanks !!
