Finding freshest backlinks
-
Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for your help, I am doing some competitor analysis and noticed that one of our competitors had a massive spike in the number of baclkinks it received in the past month.
Is there a tool or a method I can use to determine what links they have picked up in the last few weeks, by filtering by age of link?
Many thanks
Al

Since discovered 'Advanced Link Manager' and its proving to be very handy.
-
We use Open Site Explorer, also recently we have been using Hubspot which has a freshness ranking on the links, but we have found this to be very unreliable just from its analysis of our links.
We are looking into using Majestic SEO and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations of tools that provided this information.
Thanks
Al

Never came across this kind of tool that can tell you when link went up or down. Your best shot would track them manually.

What are you using to track links? Many back link checking tools offer the ability to see new links added over a time period.
Even if you have a simple excel file of the back links your competitor had on day x, you can run a new check on day y and filter out the ones that previously existed.
Hope this helps.

Backlinks - Linking to new domain
Hello Moz community! My established client recently franchised their business by adding a metro area location. We have thousands of back links built to the corporate website, a lot of which have anchor text that are geo-targeted to the new metro area website. We still find the corporate website important, but would rather focus our efforts now on the newly franchised location. Does anyone have experience with successfully having old links changed to a new domain and if so how? When changing directory listings, such as everything on get listed, is it better do do slowly or as much at once as possible? Any recommendations or information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
