Best Way to Filter Backlinks
-
When analyzing backlinks and trying to get the same one for another site there are a ton of backlinks to go through. I know that if the DA of the link is then pages on the site might be a good choice like adding an article or something of the sort to the site but as far a the same page goes you can typically only do this with a comment on the page.
My question is, given a huge list of backlinks from multiple sites, is there an easy way to analyze the links and determine which ones I can copy without manually checking hundreds of links?

Hi there
Okay cool - didn't want to give you information you didn't need. I'd also take a look at the Moz SERP analysis - tons of great information there that can help guide you in the direction you should take with your efforts.
Good luck!

Thanks for the answer, that is definitely what I was asking. I was looking at a new competitor and a few old ones who have less content, less social activity, and are less optimized than me but have higher backlinks and in turn higher DA.
My plan was to go through and copy several of the good links in hopes of driving up my own DA.

Hi there
I think you're asking: "I am doing competitor research. I pulled links for a competitor's site, and I want to know which ones are worth going after without having to do a bunch of manual clicking. How do I do that?"
Truthfully, this should be a manual process. When you are link building, you aren't looking for just links that "work". You want links that truly add value to your link profile and offer those users that click said link a great experience.
I would use this data set as a guide, find citation or listing links (this could be local SEO too) that are common sense "I need these links because they are business and industry related", and then look at high metric and quality links, and analyze how your site adds value to that particular site enough to link to you. Otherwise, it's not going to happen.
I answered a similiar question here earlier with some tips. Check that out.
I hope this helps and I understood - if I didn't, let me know so I can be more useful to you! Good luck!

Getting backlinks on a page using https
Our company got a backlink on a page with high DA but using https (https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/) more than 2 months ago. However, this particular backlink was never counted by Open Site Explorer or other backlink checker. I've contacted the Moz Helpdesk and they said they are having issues crawling https sites. So I'm wondering if anything I can do to make sure this backlink gets counted? Thanks.

What are Best Practices for Ault Site SEO
Has anyone here had experience doing SEO for an Adult DVD website? A company has approached me and they obviously only want White Hat practices. I have used open site explorer to do research on some competitors. The top competitors of this company seem to have only a few high PR links from High Authority industry sites and almost all have a link from the Yahoo Directory. Does anyone know where or how to create high authority content links from this niche? It seems that most of the competitor links are on sub par pages and are single links in the side nav of other sites. I am not sure if I can post a link to the company here but any suggestions on link building for adult sites would be great. Please remember they are a retailer and don't have pop up advertising or any illegal content. Thanks,

Notification of backlink creation
Hi I was wondering if any one knows of an automatic updating service that notifies you when a back link to a site becomes live? Could this be achieved in google alerts perhaps?

What is best way to evaluate external links to my site?
What is the best way to evaluate external links coming in to my site? I have been working on trying to build links by commenting on blogs/forums and adding to directories, etc. I've run link reports through Open Site Explorer and Yahoo and they never seem to show the same links coming in. For example, i run link eport on Open Site Explorer and it will show links coming into my site that Yahoo doesn't show, and vice versa. I guess I'm trying to figure best way to monitor each week new links coming into my site to determine if my efforts are fruitful. Also, is there a certain period of time that should pass from time I put my link on another site (ie, a blog) until it will show up in OPen Site Explorer? Thanks! Oh, and I use the NoDoFollow Add-on for Firefox to only comment on those sites that do follow. Not sure if that's really effective or not.
