    Hi Everyone
    Just thought I would share a new tool from the team over at SEOMoz, I am PRO member over there, and I must say this new tool rocks! :)

    http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/

    With rumours lately of yahoo site explorer soon to be unavailable, this tool will come in very handy for tracking your back links, and also comparing your website with your competitors to see why they could be out-ranking you for certain keywords.

    Check it out above, it’s free to use for a certain number of results

    One of the best parts of it for me is the visual comparisons comparing your website with a competitor

    A better explanation of it here

    Hi, RFKSolutions

    Thanks for your nice sharing. I am wondering if Yahoo siteexplorer would disappear someday in the future then what such kind of tools would base on?

    All the best,

    this tool itself does not use yahoo site explorer, so this tool is an alternative, in my eyes a better alternative

    When I entet my url Say
    o Data Available for this URL

    Although our index is large, there are a number of reasons why we may not have data for the page you've requested. These can include:

    * Recency of Page Creation:
    Linkscape crawls the web constantly, but we update the index only once every 30-40 days. Thus, pages and links created since the last index update won't be available until we've seen them. A typical timeline for getting a page/site included in Linscape is 45-60 days, sometimes less for very important or well-linked-to pages.

    * Deep Down in the Web:
    Our crawl focuses on a breadth-first approach, and thus we nearly always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.

    * Blocked Pages:
    If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching your URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that points to those pages will still be available)

    * No Links:
    the URLs seen by Linkscape must be linked-to by other documents on the web or out index will not include them.


    where did u heard about the yahoo site explorer will desappear?

    about Domain Authority, how this tool values the Domain Authority?, for example one of my sites has a Domain Authority of 11 of 100. how can improve that?
