Linkresearchtools

Just as Dave Naylor featured us among the 5 best backlink analysis tools” in his review today, we are happy to present you a new version of our Link Research Tools. This version is dedcated to the Casino Affililate Convention (CAC) in Amsterdam this week where Christoph will present in two slots.

We again added some new features to improve the usability of the tools and managed to increase report speed during peak times.

Copy/Paste feature in table

Copy/Paste feature for report result lines

If you select one or several lines in the report results, the lines will be marked light blue and then you simply have to copy the lines (press Ctrl+C). Now you can paste the chosen lines into a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. Of course you can still export an entire report into .csv format and open it in Excel.

Sistrix Backlinks import for CBLT

Sistrix Backlinks for CBLT reports

We have added a new link source for Common Backlinks Tool reports: Sistrix Backlinks for a given domain can now also be selected to find the common backlinks of your input URL’s domains.

You can now get Technorati links, Alexa Backlinks, Yahoo domain backlinks (also the ones via SiteExplorer) and Sistrix Backlinks for the input domains you want to analyze. This variety of link sources will give you a detailed overview of the common backlinks of the domains and help you find the top websites to get a link on. The Sistrix Backlinks have already been implemented as link source for the BATT reports in the last version.

Min/Standard/Max view for report columns

New Report Results View Options

Another new feature offers the possibility to quickly view the report results with varying number of columns. The minimum view only shows the most important values for an URL like CEMPER Juice™, Yahoo Backlinks, Google Page Rank or the Sistrix Sichtbarkeitsindex. The maximum view shows all the values crawled for the report. The number of SEO metrics shown in a certain view depends on the SEO metrics you have chosen for the report.

Image Link display changed

Image with no alt-text

We now display image links a bit differently. Previously we only differntiated between [IMG] (for images without ALT texts) and images that had ALT texts (but showed only the ALT text in the breakdown). No we show ALT texts of images as [IMG] and images without ALT texts as [IMG no alt-text].

Image without alt-text for cemper.at

This helps you find images optimization possibilities even easier, so if you look at the example on the right of cemper.at we had an image link of a conference without ALT text. Obviously we contacted them to ask if they could add an ALT text to the image to give the image more meaning and the link more anchor text weight. You should do the same with your image links.

Faster report processing

We worked on our backend to improve the speed of the reports during the “rush hours” of the Link Research Tools. Now parallel report processing during peak hours is faster and this will save you time and nerves. So if you start more reports at once, they will be done significantly faster than before.

New Traffic Indicators

Alexa and Compete Rank

Our new Traffic Indicator SEO metrics package contains the Alexa Rank and the Compete Rank. Both provide estimations about the traffic that a page receives and are good indicators for the popularity of a website. We offer two traffic indicators since they use different methods to measure and are biased in some way, e.g. the Alexa Rank only counts the visits to a site by users that have the Alexa toolbar installed. So you best take both of them into account to anaylze the traffic.

New Majestic metrics

New Majestic SEO metric

The new Majestic SEO metrics package includes two values that help you with the analysis of the backlinks of a website: MJbl and MJbldom. MJbl show all the backlinks to a page and MJbldom counts the number of backlinks to a domain. These values can be seen as an addition to our many other backlink sources and will complete the backlink profile of the analyzed sites.

Interface and text cleanup

As you will realize the content of the toolkit was improved to make the tools more user-friendly. For example, we added text to the navigation buttons on the top right of the toolkit to make it easier to get along on the site and we put the URL box always to the top.
