Link analysis task
-
Hi mozzers,
I am currently working on a phd, and one of the professors asked me for help.
He would like to know how many Danish school websites (n=1500) links to a certain section of a government website (the relevant section has around 1600 pages). The problem is, that the government website is coded very poorly from an seo perspective with lots of strange URL variables, entailing OSE can't give valid data.
So, what would be the best way to check how many of the school websites link? Throw all 1500 website through Xenu, or is there a smarter solution? Maybe the link out feature on Bing?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks!

Exactely.
Sometimes I am not aware of an answer or question due to to much traffic here in the Q&A section ... I kind of loosing the overview
-
Thank you all for the answers - Incredible helpful!
And yes, this open q&a is great - I am sure it will dominate serious SEO discussions by the end of this year

Hey Thomas: I just sat through the video for the tool and it looks amazing! They say it uses 12 different sources for their link data(SEOmoz Linkscape, Majestic SEO, Google data, Yahoo, Technorati, etc.) THen it sounds like they give you a live verification. So to answer your question, it looks like it's doing both.
-
Sweet Petra! This site was completely off my radar. I really like the collective intelligence this Q&A is bringing to SEOmoz.
-
Thank you, Dejan.
Correct me if I am wrong - bur Majestic has a pretty deep crawl of the web right? We are examining websites with potential very few ingoing links.
-
I would suggest Majestic SEO to get solid backlinks and Excel to filter out URLs that do not belong to a desired section.
-
One more question: Is Cemper's tools based on an a priori crrawling like SEOmoz or a live crawling like Xenu?
-
Cool didn't knoe the tool could do it. ALways avoided the website as I do with most other keyword rich domain names
-
E.g. buying a 72 hours day pass - http://www.linkresearchtools.com/products-overview/ for Euro 20,- - worth the money - even Ann Smarty recommended the tool.

Do more internal links from sub-domains to domain (website) hurt rankings?
Hi, We have nearly 10 sub-domains. Couple of our website top pages including homepage have been linked from every page of these sub-domains; from footer or top menu. Is this kind of linking is bad as per Google? What is the right way of linking between website and sub-domains?

Are links from inside duplicate content on a 3rd party site pointing back to you worthwhile.
In our niche there are lots of specialist 'profile / portfolio' sites were we can upload content (usually project case studies. These are often quite big and active networks and can drive decent traffic and provide links from high ranking pages. The issue im a bit stuck on is - because they are profile / portfolio based usually its the same content uploaded to each site. But im beginning to get the feeling that these links from within duplicate content although from high ranking sites are not having an effect. Im about to embark on a campaign to re rewrite each of our portfolio items (each one c. 400 words c. 10 times) for each different site, but before i do i wandered if any one has had any experience / a point of view on with wether Google is not valuing links from within duplicate content (bare in mind these arnt spam sites, and are very reputable, mainly because once you submit the content it gets reviewed prior to going live). And wether a unique rewrite of the content solves this issue.

Agency footer link, do we keep it ?
Hello ! I was wondering if it's still a good idea to let a do-follow link on the bottom of agency released websites. Because they obvisouly come from different websites with no link with a web marketing agency. Do we have to keep them in the footer in no-follow ? If we do so, how to get some link juice from the different websites ? It sounds a bit stupid but one of my partners went from PR7 to PR5 recently. I guess Penguin 2.0 did not like all its links from its customers' website. Tks a lot !

Setup WordPress with www in General -> Settings to get benefits of old links or does it matter?
Hello, I looked through many other Q&A and couldn't find this answer exactly... We build all of our client's sites on WordPress which automatically assign the new websites with no www. at the beginning. Recently one of our customers was upset because his new site (non-www) had only 3 links to it and his old www.domain.com site had 548. Is the simplest way to fix this to go into the WordPress Settings -> General and just change the WordPress Address and Site Address to the www version? Does it even matter or does WordPress tell Google to look at both versions. We don't see any SERP impact by having the non-www version up, but if it is an easy fix to get the 548 link credit I'll take it! Reason I'm concerned is I do see the difference in OSE and would prefer to have 548 links vs. 3 also! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks community!

To link or redirect? That is the question.
I have a site that I don't really use any longer but still has some okay rankings. I'd like to take advantage of the links point to that site. Is it better to redirect that site to my new one or to just place a link on the homepage pointing to my new site?

Loss of 1,000 links has negatively affecting rankings
Hey there, One of the clients we're working with has lost about 1,000 or so backlinks over the last two or three months - mainly old article and directory links - and it has massively affected the site's search rankings. The site was ranking for pretty much all of its keywords in prominent positions on Google (mostly first page) but has now seen positions dive to 50, 90 and even outside of the top 100. Is there any immediate action we can put into place to help restore our rankings?
