Does SEOMoz (or anyone) offer a measurement of "overlapping" links between 2+ domains?
-
I'm trying to judge how much incremental value we'd see from 301'ing an old domain vs. revitalizing the old domain's content. My gut feeling is that most of the links to the two sites are from the same set of websites so it wouldn't add much value to 301 the old domain. I've seen the opposite of this done with Competitive Link Analysis (e.g show links that you don't have that your competitor does have).
Is there a tool available that can take 2 or more sites and tell me for instance - 72% of the inbound links or linking root domains are the same?

Thanks Shaun, I appreciate your response. I'll go ahead and submit this to the Feature Requests Forum.

This is what I do:
- export inbound links from OSE to Excel.
- put the linking pages into column A.
- tag each set with the respective domain they're linking to in column B.
- merge the two sets.
- create a pivot table.
- put linking page as the Row Label.
- put the domain being linked to as both the Value (as a count) and the Column Label.
- Sort columns highest to lowest.
- Look for all of the places where you have a value in both domain columns.
Those are all of the pages that link to both domains.
Actually, I typically strip the linking pages down to just their domains so that I can see which domains link to both of the sites I'm reviewing, but you might prefer to see it at the page level.

I believe that Majestic SEOs CliqueHunter tool does that - put in up to 10 sites and shows which have links from the same domains. I think it might be part of the paid info, but worth checking.
Good luck!

Have you tried http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-intersect

I am not aware of a tool which does what you want. You can take the Open Site Explorer link report from both sites and download it to an Excel file. In Excel you can compare the fields to determine which ones are unique.

Internal/External link ratio
I have a client who ranked #3 for a very important and highly competitive keyword phrase. Using the 'Compare Pages' tool in open site explorer I could see that we were far better optimized than the two websites that were out ranking my client. Our PA was higher, the MozRank was higher, more internal and external links (and the external are all high quality) more linking C blocks etc.. etc... not just the page but the website, in general, was better optimized. The one thing I did notice was that although we had more internal and external links, our ratio was far heavier to the external side than the ratio of either competitor. So, at a loss of what else to do, I went through the website and beefed up the internal links to the specific page in question. I didn't over do it, just moved up from about 6% to about 12% (one competitor was at about 20% while the other was about 65%). Six days later we are number two rather than number three. Coincidence? Should I beef it up even more? Has anyone ever come across anything like this? Thank you for your comments in advance.

Keyword Ranks reported by SEOMOZ don't match actual searches
SEO Moz reported that various keywords I was tracking were not in the top 50 results on Yahoo or Bing, yet when I did a Yahoo or Bing search for those keywords (from multiple computers and not logged into any Yahoo or MSN/Bing account) I found the keywords easily. What's the scoop?
