Competitive Link Velocity (CLV) – analyze link growth velocity
Watch your own and your competitors’ links grow, understand their link growth velocity.
Overview
The Competitive Link Velocity (CLV) tool compares the link growth velocity for your site vs. up to ten competitors over a period of the past 2 years. This helps you understand how link growth looked like for your competition and thus why they rank better and what your own link growth should be like to be “natural” i.e. to blend in.
Quite often the factor link growth velocity is completely ignored in link campaign planning. The Competitive Link Velocity (CLV) tool generates a heat-map style report that allows you to judge on link growth for link popularity, domain popularity as well as details for text, image and redirect links as well as dropped links (negative link spikes). This heat map allows you to judge on historical changes in link profiles, i.e. which type of links to a domain have been created or deleted.
By looking at link spikes for image links you could e.g. identify a new display ad campaign a competitor implemented. By finding out about a sudden surge in NOFOLLOW links you could possibly detect a lot of interest from blogs or forums – be it natural or just blog-spam. Redirect link spikes could be something fancy SEO tactic or just again a surge in social media (because of a lot of URL shorteners being used).
With the Competitive Link Velocity (CLV) tool you have the perfect overview over the historical link profile of any domain!
