Great New Features!

• Performance: we added tons of new servers & ips – hence improved performance by over 1000%
• Top 10 Ranks: we have a new Google Rankings fetch tool which conveniently populates the URL boxes of the Common Back Links and Common Outboud Links tool in a second with those results that rank top for the keywords/topics you want to analyse. This is a great time saver if you want to digg into a new industry or competitive field … below you see a simple example of how it looks like.

• SPEED!!: we also increased parallelism of the backend – which means that your reports are going to be finished A LOT faster (yet you can queue all your jobs and then go for a break
• Domain & Geo Info: we introduced great new SEO metrics to the Domain Registration & Geo Info analysis package. We now show the IP address, the hosting location country as well as the Domain Owner NAME (in addition to the Domain Registrar). This can be very useful in understanding about link satellite networks and similar patterns of your competitors – Think “Google” also the geographic locations where your links come from are crucial especially for country specific optimization!
  

  Domain Registration & Geo Location Info for each backlink!

• Quick Links: we added a new feature we call “Quick Links” which is just a small set of small links besides each link that we list that help you look up detail information in systems we either don’t display completely or that are somewhat proprietary. You can see an example below. Currently we have links for detailled Yahoo Backlinks, Domaintools WHOIS information as well as a detailled keyword lookup via the SISTRIX tools, which are especially great for the german market and will be integrated deeper in future versions. Also we can soon give you the option to customize those quick links as you wish – for using your own personal tools. They come in VERY VERY handy
  

  Quick Links help you access your favorite external tool EASY!

• tons of other little bugfixes, enhancements, clarifications on the UI … expect a lot more to come soon!

Whats Next?

Did we mention that this was just the start? We have dozens of new features on the roadmap, but wanted to stabilize and tune the base level system first. Expect a lot of new features to be announced in the next weeks, as soon as private beta is closed.

Oh – and keep in mind – all those upgrades, new versions and improvements are always included for existing members!
