Top Link Building Tools

Posted by Michael under Search

Following the sad demise of Marketleap.com tools, on 15 November, which was highlighted on its website as follows: As of November 15, 2009 all free Marketleap.com tools will be discontinued. We would like to thank you for the years of devotion to our tools and recommend the following sites as resources for viable replacements: SEObook.com, SEOMoz.com. Thank you.…. What are the alternatives?

Hub Finder is free web based software which looks for hub pages using the Yahoo! API. It allows you to find sites which link to common resources that you manually enter, or resources that rank well in Yahoo! for a specific term. You can manually enter sites you want to cross check, or grab the top ranked results from Yahoo! Search.

Linkscape claims to provide never-before-accessed link data on over 54+ billion URLs across 230+ million domains and that this allows you to analyze your competitors to see what they’re doing successfully and how you can emulate their success as well as judging the quality of potential links to your site and measuring the success of viral marketing and link bait campaigns

Costs around £35 a month but regular attempts to up-sell the current client base new add-ons and frills might annoy those already up to budget and not wanting/able to invest more. Linkscape is ‘backed up’ by add-ons from the such as:

• Competitive Link Research Tool – Find critical sites your competitors are getting links from but you aren’t
• Linkscape Visualization and Comparison – Visualize and compare the link profiles of two web pages and get actionable suggestions on improvements.
• Backlink Analysis – Fast access to lots of your most influential anchortext and backlinks

Majestic-SEO says it is the world’s largest backlinks and anchor text database with proprietary robots that have crawled over 137 billion webpages and found more than 1,137 billion unique links and their anchor text. This information is available in detailed reports, where links and anchor text are shown in order of importance, based on their backlinks. Each website’s backlinks can all be downloaded as ‘.CSV’ file.

There’s a complex pricing system that depends on credits (the cheapest of which is £2) to buy backlinks information for the domains you’re interested in exploring.

Yahoo! site explorer

Since the recent beta rebuild, Yahoo!’s free site explorer has become more like Google’s offerings, although Google still seems to be more forthcoming about information like queries your site ranks for; inbound link anchor text pointing to your site; crawl management. However the new Yahoo! data are more concise and better organized than the Google data dumps. Of course, to a certain extent Yahoo! search optimization is no longer that popular and many businesses say they get little or no traffic from Yahoo! – but it’s the third most visited search engine, used by around 60,000,000 people each month which is a lot of traffic to be ignoring, so Yahoo! might be a good place to start reinvesting in SEO.
