What are your latest backlinks? How can you tell?
-
Hi
Can anyone recommend a tool (which is up to date) which shows the latest backlinks (in date order) that has been added to a website?
Mainly I am planning for checking for bad links etc
Many Thanks

Hi Keri
Just logged into GWT and can't see the option you mention? Where can I find this?
Thanks

Google Webmaster Tools just released an option to download your most recent links. As long as you can verify the site in GWT, that should be really helpful for you.

I really enjoy OSE for links, but also use AHREFs.
Keep in mind any tool you use has limitations. First, they all crawl the web which takes time. Outside of Google and Yahoo, the most elaborate web crawler I am aware of is MozScape. Currently about $600k is spent per update (roughly a month). SEOmoz has invested millions more this year in improving the process and hopefully we will see the benefits of that investment soon.
There are a few limitations with any tool:
-
no tool crawls 100% of the web
-
a page could sit for months or years without being crawled, then a change can occur on a site or a new link is created to the page and it is found. The link would appear and you might think it is new even though it is not.
-
there are various factors which affect the order of a crawl
In brief, you should know the tool you are seeking does not exist. All crawlers have limitations. If you desire the best results, you need to subscribe to numerous tools and check the results regularly. I use the following tools: Google WMT, OSE, AHREFs, Raven and SEMrush. There are numerous other tools as well such as Majestic.

Does iframe itself count as a backlink?
Our situation is similar to YouTube. We have an original content on every subpage that is genuinely useful when embedded as a widget on 3r party websites. That is why we offer an embeddable widget that shows slightly simplified version of the content - exactly like a YouTube video embedded on your blog. The embed code is simply an iframe sourcing from our subpage: <iframe src="wikibudgets.org/subpage"></p> </blockquote> <p>1/ Does the iframe itself pass any link value at all to the subpage?</p> <p>2/ If yes, what would be the equivalent of anchor text in iframe?</p> <p>3/ If not, will any link in the subpage pass link value from the 3rd party website to my domain/subpage?</p> <p>4/ If not, will I be punished/rewarded if I ask users to put a visible, unobfuscated link to the subpage below the iframe?</p> <blockquote style="background: #f7f7f7; padding-top: 5px; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 2px; padding-bottom: 5px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-y: auto; font-family: monospace;"> <p><iframe src="wikibudgets.org/subpage" /><a href="wikibudgets.org/subpage">rich anchor text</a></p> </blockquote></iframe>

How can influence a directory backling page on your website ?
Hi, Some good directories asked a backlink for having ours listed in their categories. But of course, I am not fan of putting their link on the home page, but creating a page exclusively for these backlinks is a bad thing to mister google ? thanks in advance !
