Online checkers for Anchor Links ?
-
Okay, we are looking for online tools to check our backlinks, and anchor links top domains, etc.
OSE is not working for us, because looks like , it gets updated in some months.
We are looking for something, which can drag the statistics in fw hours and show up.
Let me know.

I think many of the moz users who are involved in SEO as a primary business utilizes multiple tools for links, etc. First OSE is updated monthly. There are multiple ways to check links, but the quick and easy for me is SEO for Chrome as it pulls up Yahoo's Site Explorer, Majestic, OSE, etc. The drop down will take you where you want to go - quick and efficient.
But, remember these tools also provide other features, benefits that are independent of one another. With Yahoo Site Explorer I get a more varied view of my links. With OSE I get less of the links picture but I also get additional actionable data and a filtering function that often allows me to cut to the chase on competitive analysis. AsI look at the available tools (on the bar) on my laptop, I truly see an array. This is a set that is personal to me and the functions I perform. For you, they may well be different. My suggestion is try several over time and do not be surprised when you use this for that and that for this.
Here is a message from Rand that I would suggest you read regarding the latest and greatest from the moz engineers.

Sudden and dramatic decrease in External Followed Links and Total External Links
I'm not sure how or why this has happened but from a span of a week my client's site went from 518 total external links to 97. I also saw a dramatic decrease in traffic for that week as well. I'm new to the SEO game but I have not made any changes to their content other than importing old blog posts that did not get migrated to their new host. Any thoughts? www.cobbcountyattorneys.com Thanks! JC

Internal/External link ratio
I have a client who ranked #3 for a very important and highly competitive keyword phrase. Using the 'Compare Pages' tool in open site explorer I could see that we were far better optimized than the two websites that were out ranking my client. Our PA was higher, the MozRank was higher, more internal and external links (and the external are all high quality) more linking C blocks etc.. etc... not just the page but the website, in general, was better optimized. The one thing I did notice was that although we had more internal and external links, our ratio was far heavier to the external side than the ratio of either competitor. So, at a loss of what else to do, I went through the website and beefed up the internal links to the specific page in question. I didn't over do it, just moved up from about 6% to about 12% (one competitor was at about 20% while the other was about 65%). Six days later we are number two rather than number three. Coincidence? Should I beef it up even more? Has anyone ever come across anything like this? Thank you for your comments in advance.

My Competition is using some Strange Achord Text and Inbound Links
I was doing some research and a lot of my competition are websites from Universities, but I got surprised when I saw that a lot of their Anchor Text where things like Buy Viagra , Play poker , Buy Cialis , a lot of their inbound links where about things like that , one of the sites I was doing research on was www.imba.ie.edu , this site was #1 for the keyword I want that is related to education. Also other sites on the #1 page of google for this keyword (universities websites) had the same kind of inbound links and achord texts. Whats going on here??

What tools do you use for competitive link analysis?
I have been using SEO Spyglass lately but it can be very slow at times. Wondering if there are any other accurate/robust tools out there.
