We have tested Fresh Web Explorer, the new mentions tool from SEOMoz. Do we love it?

Fresh Web Explorer (FWE) is the newest addition of SEOMoz tools. It is no secret to the people who know me that I both love, praise and use these tools on a daily basis. Some even accuse me of having a major small crush on Rand Fishkin, the way I go on about “his tools”. In other words, my hopes for this new addition are high.

FWE is a mention tool that ”lets you research and compare mentions and links to your domain using the power of the Freshscape index”, a “30 day index of 4.3 million feeds (and counting).” FWE is not real time, but pretty close, there’s a new Freshscape index every eight hours. (more…)

Visualising the Link Graph, How Natural are you?

Visualising the Link Graph

Last Year I wrote a post about 16 ways to visualise back link data, to be honest I could have listed a hundred but didn’t for two reasons, one blog writing does takes time and two I listed ones I often used and found productive in one form or another.

High Speed Backlink Profile Analysis with QBL

I’ve always been an enthusiastic user of the Yahoo Site Explorer and its free features. Clearly, its shutdown left a big gap that can’t be filled overnight. So where can I get a quick overview of my existing backlink profile from now? There are a few tools on the market to this: Majestic SEO, Open Site Explorer, Openlinkgraph and the new development of Cemper.com: QBL. The Quick Backlink Tool (QBL) is part of the Link Research Tools and it seems like an affordable alternative to me, especially since Christoph Cemper offered some free accounts for State of Search readers!

Links! You need links! That is probably one of the major things a marketer hears when he or she is discussing the future and ranking possibilities of their websites. But where to get those links? And how to check if they are there?

The first paragraph you just read is something which many marketers will recognize and it is the reason for existence for many tools out there that give you insight in links. Tools that either use search engines like Google or Yahoo, tools that use other tools and tools that scrape the web themselves. All these tools have one issue however: is the link still there? And how fresh is the link. Majestic SEO, one of the tools that scrape the web themselves, now believe they have the absolute reign when it comes to freshest back link data.

Search Engine Accessibility: Easily Missed Checks That Make a Huge Difference

This is a buffalo

I’m not kidding about this – I recently came across a website that was blocking a user agent from a very well known search engine. No one at the company had any idea of the situation, and this particular situation had been costing them a ton of traffic over weeks and weeks.

Time to get the honesty box out: When was the last time you switched user agents? Checked a 304 not modified response? Made sure your canonical www redirect was working correctly? Some things are so easily missed in todays “out of the box” code world. Here are 5 quick checks that are so easily missed, but can save hours of head scratching! (more…)
