To Use or Not To Use this Data?

Posted on January 18, 2011 by danaloiz

Have you ever needed to get the link data for a website and ended up having totally different results coming from similar sources?

Why didn’t they provide with the same results? How are you supposed to know which one are the REAL ones?

And if you think of all the hours you’ve spent just to get to this dead end….

And this is not the only inconvenience you have when querying the search engines for link data…

But there are solutions for these problems. Let me break them down for you:

Have certainty over your link data

Posted on January 4, 2011 by danaloiz

Mobile phones wouldn’t be so great if you would still have to remember all the telephone numbers stored in it, right?

Evaluate your link profile with Advanced Link Manager

Posted on November 17, 2010 by danaloiz

Have you ever wondered if your links are good enough or if your link building strategy is paying off?

To answer this you would probably have to:

Make a list of all pages linking to you and to your competitors and compare them
Evaluate the quality of these links (by page rank, mozRank etc)
Get an overall value of your website and your competitors websites based on the previous data you have gathered
Finally, discover the value of your link profile

Where to start from?

On the web there are several sources of link data you can use, such as OpenSiteExplorer, Yahoo! SiteExplorer, SEMRush. They can help you get the information you need for this type of analysis. But the bad news is that this data has to be manually processed in order to extract some insights out of it. Continue reading →
