Hi Saddat!
Thank you for your comment! Below are two more link building strategies you can employ by using the Link Opportunities tab in Open Site Explorer.
- Select the Reclaim Links tab to find broken pages on your site that have inbound links. You can then redirect these links to a working page.
- Select the Unlinked Mentions tab to see sites (and pages) that mention your company but do not link to you. You can then sort these by mention authority and if you see a reputable site that you respect, reach out to request a link.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi
I have looked at this tool and my competitors sites that are number 1-3 in Google have very spammy links?!
I do not wish to copy their poor links. How do you suggest I look for link opportunities?
Look for keywords like "sell house fast" or "sell property quickly" in Google.co.uk

Understanding Keyword Explorer SERP Analysis
Hi Guys Based on the attached SERP analysis provided by Keyword Explorer, the term 'silver jewelry' appears to have a lot of potential; it has good search volume, high opportunity and potential scores; however when you look at the metrics associated with the top 3 competing sites, and the fact page 1 is dominated by major brands with equally good metrics, then a difficulty score of 26, meaning easy; seems a bit unrealistic. I would like to hear what others have to say, or am I missing something here. Regards Peter H96KVmH

Unusual "internal links" causing SEO issues?
Hi all, I'm working on an ecommerce site which has been around for almost 20 years. Over the years it has started to suffer in Google's search results and the decision was recently made to completely overhaul the site. We're now very happy with the website's design, and care was taken to maintain page rank via 301s, etc. However, the site has just fallen off the bottom of Google's first search result page (for the first time in years) for our main keyword. I signed up here in the hope of using Moz's SEO tools to help us return to our former glory, but I'm seeing some confusing results: I've run a crawl test on our site, as well as on our two biggest competitors. One thing that really stood out was that we have over 1000 "internal links" to our homepage, whereas our competitors both have around 20-30 (both of which appear at the top of the first SR page). Since the rest of the "on-page SEO" looks OK, I suspect that this could be causing our problems, but I don't understand where this "internal links" number is coming from. Links to our competitor's homepage appear in the navigation bar on every single one of their product pages (which they have about 500 of), yet your report only claims that they have 30 links. The only link to the homepage appears in the site's main navigation bar (which obviously appears on every product page - exactly as it does on our competitors' sites). Additionally, almost every other page on our site apparently has 0 "internal links" and 0 page authority. Is this a problem with Moz's crawl test tool, or is our site actually at fault? The above has been asked directly to Moz staff, but I haven't had a reply. I'd hugely appreciate any words of wisdom from the community. Many thanks in advance. Nick

Not receiving emails from Fresh Web Explorer
Hi I set up several alerts on the Fresh web explorer - however I haven't received emails and these we're set up over a month ago. What email address do they come from - I have checked my junk folder but I am thinking I might need to whitelist the email with the developers to receive the emails. Thanks Andy
