Best Way to Analyse Linking Structure of My Site

[joemas99]

My site http://www.taxproblem.org is now undergoing many changes due to bad report card scores from this site. I've had people tell me that my linking structure was obviously artificial, especially if most of my links are from "Mr. Wong - social site" O.K. stop laughing

Yes we use bookmarking demon and rss feed wp plug ins, etc. But haven't discovered how to best get links yet, although reading a lot and waiting on seomoz's DVD's I ordered.

1. What is the best way to analyse our sites linking structure to determine if Google will consider it bad (my site was trashed by Google twice in the last two years) probably for link farms and the like. I know the obvious, but I was looking for a program with guidelines to judge by.

2. The best source to review the many strategies for getting back links so I am not a victim of rehashed b/s based on someones fears of Google, but actually good methods that work. We offer something of value. (CPA firm doing IRS rep. and we have a free download so people can do their own IRS rep and save thousands, and know it's done right) I need to know the bast way to market this. I need good souces for info and for keeping up.

Thanks in advance to all that can help.

I appreciate the response, but i was looking for more than a general reply. That's why is was asking for sources. I want a good professional strategy, not a list of things found on other pages of this site. Anyone want to share their answers to the above items. It would be appreciated.

You can go to opensiteexplorer.org and see your backlink profile. If all your links come from one source like social bookmarks or directories, you may have an issue. The best thing to do is get a variety of backlinks. Comment on some blogs with your real name. Save some social bookmarks. Submit to some high quality human edited directories. Write and publish some articles. Create guest blog posts for financial blogs you come across and offer them for free. All of these things are methods you should be employing to get some variety in your links.
