Best Link Building technique using SEOMoz tools & Open Site Explorer
-
Hi,
We've been with SEOMoz for a year or two now, but have have kept an eye out for productive link building tools to help the team.
To be honest we're struggling with Open Site Explorer because, although it enables us to discover competitors links it doesn't provide much link management functionality.
A simple example would be the ability for Open Site Explorer to show links to domains which my clients already have in a different colour, so that we don't waste time exploring dead ends.
I'd be very interested to hear tips how other people use the SEOMoz tools to manage their link building as I suspect we may be missing a trick or two...
Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the response, but exporting and then ploughing through Excel seems such a manual way of doing things. Rand and the team must have thought of the process when they designed these tools...I get the feeling I'm missing something.
Link building is such a key part of what we do somebody in the SEOMoz community must have figured out a neat way of using the available tools?

I'm not an expert in Excel, but OSE does provide a CSV export of the top 10,000 links. In theory you could export your links and your competitors and do a comparison between them.

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -

Simple Open Site Explorer Question
Does domain and page authority as listed in the Open Site Explorer mean that that site is relevant (content subject wise) or is domain/page authority separate from relevance? In other words, I'm less interested in getting an 81 domain authority link if it has nothing to do with my site's subject matter. Could someone please explain? I haven't yet found the answer. Thanks.

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.
