What are your latest backlinks? How can you tell?
-
Hi
Can anyone recommend a tool (which is up to date) which shows the latest backlinks (in date order) that has been added to a website?
Mainly I am planning for checking for bad links etc
Many Thanks

Hi Keri
Just logged into GWT and can't see the option you mention? Where can I find this?
Thanks

Google Webmaster Tools just released an option to download your most recent links. As long as you can verify the site in GWT, that should be really helpful for you.

I really enjoy OSE for links, but also use AHREFs.
Keep in mind any tool you use has limitations. First, they all crawl the web which takes time. Outside of Google and Yahoo, the most elaborate web crawler I am aware of is MozScape. Currently about $600k is spent per update (roughly a month). SEOmoz has invested millions more this year in improving the process and hopefully we will see the benefits of that investment soon.
There are a few limitations with any tool:
-
no tool crawls 100% of the web
-
a page could sit for months or years without being crawled, then a change can occur on a site or a new link is created to the page and it is found. The link would appear and you might think it is new even though it is not.
-
there are various factors which affect the order of a crawl
In brief, you should know the tool you are seeking does not exist. All crawlers have limitations. If you desire the best results, you need to subscribe to numerous tools and check the results regularly. I use the following tools: Google WMT, OSE, AHREFs, Raven and SEMrush. There are numerous other tools as well such as Majestic.

Where to buy high quality backlinks in 2018?
I am searching for backlink vendors, only english-speaking websites, financial topic. Another option is business, news, technologies, cryptocurrencies related sites. Only high-quality, active and developed websites, real traffic, no spam. If you have some contacts of vendors of such kind (or if you have access to the right website), please share emails - would really appreciate that!

Can anyone explain this Google+ subdomain?
https://google36059.reachlocal.net/collections/featured This seems really odd to me. It appears to be a fully working Google+ page and I can access the links that are other Google+ pages, but it is a subdomain of Reach Local. Any ideas?

New pages backlinking
Hello there, I have created a website that with some basic link building has been appearing nicely in location based keywords, eg, computer repairs flintshire, this was easy enough to achieve as the competition wasnt great, just wish i has these on page seo tools 6 months ago! my question is this - i am trying to get similair results in other location based keywords, eg, computer repairs chester and computer repairs wirral. What i have done is created a new page dedicated to each keyword, making sure that there is no duplicate content ect ect, the on page SEO is perfect and i am already on the first page for a couple i have done. so i have a url that now is http://www.ep-networks.co.uk/computer-repairs-chester.php

How good is a backlink that's in the footer
Hello, The strongest site in our industry (according to domain authority and excluding wikipedia) said that they would put a sitewide link to us in their footer. We're good friends with them. It would be right next to the copyright. Our site is nlpca (dot) com The partner site is nlpu (dot) com The link will say something like "More NLP Training" with the "NLP" as the link. We're targeting the keyword "NLP" How much will this move us up for the keyword "NLP"? Right now we're on the 3rd page for that term. I also want to make sure that it's a white hat move. Thanks!
