Does SEOMoz (or anyone) offer a measurement of "overlapping" links between 2+ domains?
-
I'm trying to judge how much incremental value we'd see from 301'ing an old domain vs. revitalizing the old domain's content. My gut feeling is that most of the links to the two sites are from the same set of websites so it wouldn't add much value to 301 the old domain. I've seen the opposite of this done with Competitive Link Analysis (e.g show links that you don't have that your competitor does have).
Is there a tool available that can take 2 or more sites and tell me for instance - 72% of the inbound links or linking root domains are the same?

Thanks Shaun, I appreciate your response. I'll go ahead and submit this to the Feature Requests Forum.

This is what I do:
- export inbound links from OSE to Excel.
- put the linking pages into column A.
- tag each set with the respective domain they're linking to in column B.
- merge the two sets.
- create a pivot table.
- put linking page as the Row Label.
- put the domain being linked to as both the Value (as a count) and the Column Label.
- Sort columns highest to lowest.
- Look for all of the places where you have a value in both domain columns.
Those are all of the pages that link to both domains.
Actually, I typically strip the linking pages down to just their domains so that I can see which domains link to both of the sites I'm reviewing, but you might prefer to see it at the page level.

I believe that Majestic SEOs CliqueHunter tool does that - put in up to 10 sites and shows which have links from the same domains. I think it might be part of the paid info, but worth checking.
Good luck!

Have you tried http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-intersect

I am not aware of a tool which does what you want. You can take the Open Site Explorer link report from both sites and download it to an Excel file. In Excel you can compare the fields to determine which ones are unique.

SEOMOZ EXCEL PLUGIN ARRAY FORMATTING
Morning All, I have followed along, and am trying to build my own " dashboard", SEOmoz API in Excel, to get the Domain Authority and MozRank for a bunch of URLs. I have a list of competitor sites / related competitors, and I want to pull in the moz url metrics so I can decide who to investigate further. I'm using this array SEOMOZ_URKMETRICS_toFit(A2,"Cols=128" and it keeps listing the results vertically. All the tutorials show this lovely link data in horzontal rows to the right of the url in question, but mine doesn't want to behave. PS. I do know the bit data is wrong, I'll fix that. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Why such a difference in external followed links details?
I love using seomoz and have done for a few years. I am no SEO expert, but like to think I can get away with making out I know what I'm on about! I use opensiteexplorer regualrly and usually enjoy delving deeper into it's metrics, but one thing is bothering me (before I start with this, please forgive me if I am missing something obvious - you may have to point it out in your answer!) So I run a comparison of a few sites and pay attention to the external followed links section. On checking this number at root domain level, company A has 12,666 external followed links. So I want to dig a little deeper as to the qulaity of those links and click along to the inbound links tab, here I select the following: "followed & 301" > "only external" > "all links to this root domain" > leaving the results ungrouped Downloading this table I only have results for 3,416 links - why such a big difference to the previous 12,666 or am I missing something here? Would just like a bit of clarification 🙂

Fast Question - domain value
For example, If I have a domain: dvdumwandeln.com , and I want to focus in the bellow keywords: dvd umwandeln , dvd in avi umwandeln , and so on... I develop a IA like this: www.dvdumwandeln.com/dvd-in-avi-umwandeln/ . Here the domain will give any value to the keyword dvd in avi umwandeln ( if we have the domain dvdumwandeln.com )? I hope I did explain it well... If I do it, its a good SEO pratice, is this going to really boost my keywords? Thanks for trying to understand my explaination

Are My Links Valuable?
I have been link building for a couple months now. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which sites are even worthy of getting links from. Obviously, those that are clearly link farming, or have lots of ads throughout their site are not valuable. I use OSE, but don't know what is a good P.A or D.A. and what it means when one is much higher than the other (and if that is a bad thing). I also use compete.com to give me a general idea of the unique visitors going into a site. Any tools I can use to help evaluate the strength of specific incoming links/ specific websites? Any ideas or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks So Much, Melissa

How much weight does Google give to Exact Match Domains?
I'm building a site on a virtual host and now it's ready to go online, but i still have to choose a domain name. One of the main keywords i want to rank for is a 3-word keyword phrase with 9000+ exact match searches per month. Here's an example to better understand my question: 'Guitar training lessons' My main competitor's domain is only 5 months old but it does have the full keyword phrase in it with '4u' added at the end: www.guitartraininglessons4u.com I wanted to go with www.guitartrainingcenter.com (notice that 'lessons' is left out of the domain name) but i'm wondering if my main competitor would have a big advantage by having the full keyword phrase in his domain. How much weight does google give to sites that have the exact search query in their domain name? Does a domain still qualify as 'exact match' if a word (info) is added to it? How much harder would it be to outrank this domain as apposed to a site that doesn't have the keywords in its domain name? Thanks in advance Freek
