Viewing Specific Links in OSE - For a Specific Month

[GregMoore]

(1) Can I use OSE to see the number of links per month a site acauired over the past year (month by month)?  For example, I might be interested if I see a competitor acquired a surprisingly high number of links during December, 2010.

(2) Can I use OSE to see the a list of links a site acquired during a specific time, such as December of 2010?  For example, if I see a competitor suddenly acquired an unusually high number of links in December, 2010, I'd like to see a list of those links, to figure out how they acquired those links.

Thanks!

Not really in OSE (and would recommend you look at Majestic as Frank has), but, if you know you want to track specific competitors you can export what OSE finds each month and use Excel to sort them.

Not perfect but you could always suggest the SeoMOZ guys add it

I actually don't know if OSE gives that option, and if it does I've been missing it this entire time, but I've used majesticseo.com for awhile now to do that sort of tracking/research. Their tool gives a pretty accurate report of link discovery, including how many links were discovered in a given month.
