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

I get a redirect chain issue, but is it because of how I entered the campaign?
I get a redirect chain issue, but I see that I enter the website in Moz as http://www.website.com Google and everywhere else have it as https://www.website.com so I would imaging Google would never run into this issue, only the Moz bot does because of how it's entered. However, I can't change the campaign, so do I just ignore it? Or is there still an actual problem that needs to be addressed?

Verified News Sources: A New Feature in Fresh Web Explorer Launched Today!
Hey gang - I wanted to mention a small update we've made to Fresh Web Explorer (I was the architect on this one). It enables you to filter your searches and/or your Alerts to show only those sources/domains we've observed in Google News. E.g. here's a search for GigaOm with news filtering on (180 results in the last 7 days) vs. the same search with news filtering off (1,811 results). It's mostly useful for folks who are getting overwhelmed by the quantity of mentions they see in FWE and Alerts (I was experiencing that myself with mentions for my name and Moz) and just want to filter to the most important/noteworthy stuff. It's not perfect - Google News does have some weird domains that show in there occasionally - but it's definitely a much better filter if you have a bigger brand or term/phrase you're watching. Any questions or feedback, please let us know!

Moz showing warnings for each dynamic link despite canonicalization?
As you can see in the attached image, Moz is showing a warning for each dynamic URL despite a rel=canonical tag. Is this by design? If so, it is frustrating seeing as it is really just the one page with many links . . . 9h5oDmr.png

How to get relevant inbound backlinks?
I am a new member of the MOZ community. I have been working with a retail website, specifically the SEO part for about 2 months now. While I have addressed most if not all on-page factors, I still do not understand why Google does not rank the site higher for certain keywords. The website is: www.vrtack.com Keywords: exercise saddle, jockey saddle, freejump stirrups At this point, I have done some analysis looking at competitive data from MOZ. The only thing that stands out so far is the lack of inbound links , i.e. backlinks. Anyone here can help me understand how best (and ethically) obtain links from sites that have a high Domain Authority? I have been sending emails to the webmasters of the various websites, but no word yet. Any help is much appreciated.
