Link grow from month to month
-
Using SEOmoz tools what is the best way understand what are the new link only acquired from month to month? For example if I had 450 links in February and then grew to 500 in March? I would specifically like to know what those 50 are that grew. How can i do that?

I'd export the links into excel each month and then use VLOOKUP to check which existed the previous month with those that didn't being the new links.

Dear inetteam,
I use OpenSiteExplorer.org and i export my backlinks to an excel workbook.
- I paste the data on Sheet 1
- I Create a pivot table on Sheet 2 (left side bar are the links and I drop PA in Data Items fields)
Each time there is an update (monthly) i copy the data and paste them in the Sheet 1. then i go to sheet 2 and adjust the "Data Source" (list is bigger now) and i click refresh data.
normally all the new links will appear under the last link of last month.
I bet there is other Mozzers can do this in another way or better

I would like to know this too. The OSE (opensiteexplorer) db (well, Linkscape db) is updated about every 4 weeks and will show you the backlinks. But I dont think it says "this set is new from the last crawl" and that would be very helpful. Maybe go to http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/485551-improve-competitor-tracking-in-the-competitive-link-tool and vote for an improved backlink tracking feature.

Linking Between Sites
Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well. If a company owns several different websites that are supposed to be different brands but are part of the same niche/sector is it OK to link between them? Or would this be seen as violation? Thanks

Nasty links
Hi My first q on here (hoorah!), and it's about links (boo!). I've got what appears to be a handful (but worryingly, increasing in number) of links pointing to my site like this: http://condos.mrgulffront.com/florida-condos-for-sale/320-scenic-gulf-drive-miramar-beach-fl-32550-mls-567591/ I've made contact with the sites concerned, and had only one positive response who flatly denied all knowledge of it. The issue (as far as I can see) is that as in the above example the links (on the bottom right in the grey box) are forever changing so not always visible. Can anyone offer any guidance as to these kinds of nasty links.... I'm right at the v beginning on this "path of seo understanding" so please don't assume prior knowledge! Thanks in advance.... tom

Link building
Hello everyone, I am building links for an e-commerce site and I need to increase the value of the links we get by placing them on specific pages in order to pass more juice to inner pages. Which part of the website should I point the links to? Because there is no content section on the site what I can do is either link to the homepage (not an option) or link to inner pages such as category/subcategory/product pages. My doubt is that it wouldn't look natural to link to products pages from a piece of content or from a site where people go with the intention not to buy but to get information. Any opinions on this?

Link Detox and Link Removal
I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own. But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

Relevance or Authority for Links
Which one do you weigh more than the other? I prefer high-authority sites over low-authority but relevant sites/pages personally. From my experience, non-relevant'authoritative' websites/pages tend to have a bigger impact than 'relevant' websites/pages. What do you think? What is your experience?

Competitors with thousands of links
Looking at my competitors link results on OSE some of them have 30,000 links to their websites. They are top rank on google whereas I am page 2. I know its quality over quantity but am I ever going to compete with that number of links? Is it worth getting some low value links just to bump up numbers while continuing getting good links? thanks for any advice!
