Best Software To Alert On Incoming Links?
-
Hi Guys,
I've got most of the software I need for general link analysis, Moz/Majestic etc. But what I am lacking is software that would give me an update when one of my websites receives an incoming link? That is if there is such software available.
All suggestions and help appreciated.

Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for your response, this has really helped!
I've just set up about 10 recipes on IFTTT after discovering what it does, amazing tool, can't believe I didn't know about it before!
I haven't successfully set up the Moz side of it as it stands because Moz keeps telling me there is a redirect loop, but I look forward to trialling that out.
Thanks again for the tips.

Hi Sam
Not a perfect solution, but a good free work-a-round is to use http://page2rss.com and IFTTT.
If you enter the Moz Just Discovered URL into Page2RSS, it will create an RSS feed of the page. When the page updates with new links, the RSS feed that you created will update to.
Then, with the IFTTT RSS feed trigger, you can create an alert to update you whenever the feed updates - IE when a new link is discovered. You can have it fire to your email, for example.
It can be a bit tempremental, but I've had it working before. Good for competitor spying and for negative SEO monitoring.

Will short linking to my site affect SERPs attribution of inbound link?
Some brand partners are using their short links to link back to our site (like bit.ly but they have their own). They have a high domain authority and trust so we want that link back to be read by Google. When I downloaded all inbound links from Moz, this brand's site was not listed, making me worried that the inbound link isn't being seen or considered! Haven't been able to find any info on this...

When removing links should I be worried about bad links from websites that have already been deindexd from Google or should I think that since it is not in these index any more it cant do harm?

Hi guys, Just an open discussion. I don't want to be told to use directories or just 'guest blog'.. What is the best method you are currently using? A lot of my competitors are using older techniques for quick wins but we're wary to do that due to the long term consequences... Thanks

Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?
I'm dipping my toes into infographic design. On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic. I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post. Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic? I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value. If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?

Link Farming
Are link farms still bad? I still am not sure about this question. I know that some people still do link farms. If they are bad, wouldn't a directory be considered a link farm? For instance I can get my site on a .EDU, but it will just be a list of links. Is that bad?

Best Link Building Practice
Are there any articles or tutorials here about how to build links? The only two methods I've been able to uncover are using OSE to analyze competitors backlinks and directory listings. I'm thinking there must be other ways.
