Best way to check/find lost links?

Hi all

As everyone, we have seen a decrease of domain authority and external links during the last months. with open site

Rand is explaining the reason in this in this post, but I still would like to have a look to the links that in theory I have lost during the last months.

I thought Majestic was the best option but I have been trying to get the info and I see nothing clear.

When I download the fresh or history links, I only see links that are live (in theory, because in history I get a lot not existing but I can not see it without a manual check).

The option of lost links is just giving me 1000 links per day, but after downloading some and checking I see that this lost link report is showing me links that are working (but it looks that majestic couldn't access when they did the crawling and show them as lost).

Also the numbers of lost links are totally different if you use fresh or historic...

Anyone could recommend me a good way to find out links that I really lost?

Thanks

Best five links to get first for a new website

I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

Helpful or Hurtfull / Distributor Links to Our site on every product page?

We have a distributor site with a page rank of 3 on its home page, and 0-1'ish on its product pages. While our manufacturing site is PR 4 getting close to 5... We are thinking about adding a link from our distributors product pages to our manufacturing appropriate material information page. This would be about 10k links spread out among 7 materials. We want to add these links to help our distributor sites customers, but we don't want to hurt our manufacturing site in the process. I personally don't know of any problem this would cause, but our manufacturing site is so important I need to verify adding this many links wouldn't hurt us. Your thoughts and knowledge is appreciated.

I remember hearing in one of the link building webinars that if you hold a patent then you could get a link from that somehow.

Any examples or suggestions as to how this is done?
