Link Management Software
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new to SEOMoz Pro, but have been reading articles on this website forever!
I'm looking for a software to help me organize links I've built, including (genuine) comments I've posted on blogs, forums, links from directories, articles or other websites.
I'm not talking about automated directory submission software or some other shady submission software. All I need is a software that could help me organize all these links and check if the link is still there from time to time.
One of the feature I'd like to have is the ability to retrieve page related information such as domain age, PR, incoming links on page, outgoing links on page and the theme relevance of each of these links.
Any good recommendation?

I like Raven's tools for link building. I have never tried buzz stream, but I am going to give it a try. I can't afford to have both Moz and Raven's.
The content manager in raven is VERY buggy. And axribe is very stripped down. I love scribe, but with ravens its limited.
Bugs with ravens content are as follows:
Meta description does not pass from raven to WordPress seo (you have to go into wp to re enter) when you do it created a duplicate post in WP which is a second bug. I mentioned this to raven and they said it was a bug with WordPress.

I don't think this is possible with Raven Tools!

BuzzStream definitely caught my attention!
It's much more powerful in it's link management feature.
Now I'm in the dilemma of choosing between Raven Tools and Buzzstream.
Raven Tools come with other neat features at the same price. It's content management and Scribe integration is quite attractive for me.
Any good advice?

Thank you Moosa!
Raven Tools is indeed a very powerful tool.
I was just wondering if we need to purchase subscriptions for certain features separately like Wordtracker so that it works within Raven tools?

Hi Chunlei,
There are a number of tools that can help you source and keep track of your link building process. I've listed a few of the most popular ones below:
One of these should fit the bill

After reading all your requirements there is no one name that can come in to my mind…I guess for retrieving page information there are many browser tool which can do this…I guess SEOmoz tool bar have the ability to check how many incoming links are on the page, how many outgoing links on the page, do follow and no follow links and more…
When you talk about management of links and check if the links are still available or not then in that case I think Raven Tools is better at this area…
These recommendations are my personal recommendations but are different alternate tools that can help you with the same.

Link Building | | JasperSEO
over the past year so around every corner I discover something new. One the
things I have found are that majority of links to the site is coming from an
outside blog but digging deeper I found that the blog is actually on the same
server as clients. Should I disavow links from that blog or should I leave it
alone?0 -
Changing links
Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links. I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google? I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products. Any advice much appreciated.

Best practice links
If I am building links from someone with a site that agrees to link to my site and they will give me more than one link should I link to two sites or just two different pages on one of my sites?

SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?
Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site? Has anyone experienced problems doing this?

Linking for multiple clients
We own a small web design company that both creates the sites and then does the seo marketing for them once they are created. The business has grown to have over 100 customers. However, as we sell more sites we find our SEO team is somewhat short staffed. So far, the area that suffers the most is the link building aspect of SEO. The sites we build are for dentists and usually only contain 10 to 20 pages. Enough to list the services they offer and where they are located. Here is my question: We need to get the most effective links possible for over 100 sites with just a couple of employees. What would be the most effective links to try for. We cant chase down every stray link for our doctors. And, we don't have time to do in-depth research for each client each month as we are already pushing ourselves to the limit. In time, we will have more employees to help share the SEO load. But for now, where should we be spending our time most effectively? We can usually only budget one or two hours per client each month for linking. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Free link on a Paid Link Blog
Hi there, I have been doing some outreaching, and managed to have a blog post accepted on a authority blog. They included links to my website, and I was very pleased with the placement. However, having browsed through the site, I was worried to see that they openly admit they allow 'reviews' of websites, with backlinks included, for $50 per review. I am worried I might be penalised without actually doing anything wrong. I did not pay for my link, but the link has been placed on a site which openly admits they accept payment for links. Should I be worried? Should I ask them to take it down? To date I have been told countless times by bloggers I am outreaching that if I pay $10, $50, $100 etc I can write a blog post. I have never accepted because of the risk of penalization. Now, unwittingly, I am linked to from a paid link site with a blog post that would look like I have paid for it because of the placement and style of back link. What do you think? Thanks,
