    Hello all

    As someone who has dabble in SEO over the years analysing my competitors has always been part of my link building strategy.

    Way back when I used to use Yahoo! Site Explorer however of late (and as other SEO guru's seem to keep mentioning it) I've turned my attention to SEOMoz' answer.

    OpenSiteExplorer.org

    So all of you here... who else uses OpenSiteExplorer.org???

    Thanks for your help with my market research :)

    I used to use SEOMoz's OpenSiteExplorer. It is a good tool to use to get back link information on your website or your competitors websites.

    However, I found a much better back link tool offered by MajesticSEO.com. It is a way better tool than SEOMoz's OpenSiteExplorer. It has way more indexed links, URLs, and pages. The answers are much more accurate and precise. The only bad thing about this tool is that it costs a bit of money.

    Thanks for the info - yer I'm aware of MajesticSEO.com... both SEOMoz and Maj seem to offer something slightly different, still interesting to hear what other people are having success with.

    Yeah I use it, I'm also a Pro Member. The only downside it that it seems not to work with fairly new sites that don't have a strong backlink history.

    I use both, OSE and Majestic. Both are good. Hard to say which one is better. I usually run both, when doing site analysis.
