Competitive Link Finder
-
Hi, just wondering if I am the only one who is not having much luck lately using the Competitive Link Finder .
In the past it has worked pretty well. But as of the past week or so, it has only returned on link. I know there are many of them which should be found.
Anyway, just curious if I am solo with this issue.

I had the same issue and dicovered that the tool is very sensitive to how the URLs are enetred. Make sure that you have removed http:// in the URLs so that all URLs are in the format www.competitorsite.com
That should do the trick!

Hi There,
Thanks for writing in and sorry that Competitive Link Finder isn't working for you.
Unfortunately, Competitive Link Finder is an older labs tool that doesn't always work, but that we are no longer providing support for. As it mentions on the tools page, with SEOmoz Labs tools, PRO users can test-drive tool prototypes and give feedback on the the latest SEOmoz technology and product design, but we do not offer support or guarantee data accuracy for these prototype tools. If you’d like to leave feedback, please do so in the SEOmoz Feature Request Forum.
This tool will sometimes work perfectly fine, as it seems to be working for DesignerBoutiqueMenswear, but it also has a lot of issues and, again, we can't guarantee that it will be consistent at this time.
Thanks for your understanding. If you have any other questions about this or any other tools, we recommend that you send them to help@seomoz.org.

Inbound Links to Subdomains
Hi I want to gather a list of sites that are linking to individual blog items. Is there a way of gathering this data easily in Open Site Explorer? I've tried putting in the url/blog domain in the search box, and this just brings up those sites that link to the blog home page. I want to see all the inbound links that link to ALL subdomains within a particular URL. Any help appreciated. thanks

Why do the competitive link analysis numbers not match the domain analysis?
There is only one area that our competitor out ranks us and that is in the total links on the root domain. But when i go to competitive link analysis we have more links then they do. Any ideas?

Why are not nofollowed links counted in On-Page Analysis Report?
When I run the On-Page Analysis on our homepage, the report says the page has 238 **"Internal followed links". ** Why are not nofollowed internal links counted as well? Nofollowed links have been leaking link juice for quite some time now. Martin

How do you track new inbound links?
Hello Fellow SEOs, I've been charged with managing and tracking my company's linkbuilding efforts. I'd love to hear from others experienced in this area: -is there a way in OSE to sort links by date? -if this isn't possible, how can you tell what new links come in every month? Is this a manual process of downloading and comparing inbound links every week? This seems pretty tedious and I would love to hear what you all do and if there is a better way. I do have a Google Alert out for my company name, but that doesn't necessarily give me what I need. Thank you!

How Old is OSE link data?
I ran an anchor text report for my client today, which shows that their site has some incoming comment spam links using totally unrelated phrases (pharma products). However, when looking for the live link, the linking page no longer contains the link to them. Maybe the webmasters removed these, but I can't track down a single one... how old is this data? thanks
