New Tool: Backlink Anchor Text Analysis

Posted by Oatmeal

I've just put the finishing touches on a new tool that's exclusive to our premium members.  (Not a premium member? Read through to the bottom of this post - goodies are on the way).

Backlink Anchor Text Analysis Tool

In addition to being incredibly difficult to say five times fast, the Backlink Anchor Text Analysis Tool connects to the Google API, Yahoo! Site Explorer API, and Technorati API to aggregate and report your inbound links in a presentable format.  It shows you what anchor text is the most commonly used and also provides the results in HTML or CSV. The links fetched are a mixture of authoritative and fresh (new), and the tool is great if you want to  keep an eye on what keywords your competitors are targeting. You can view a sample report here.

Coming Soon
I'm currently at SES San Jose so my schedule is pretty busy, but next week when I return I'm going to be launching two new features on the SEOmoz website.  The first is the SEOmoz dashboard, which is basically a form of secondary navigation that sits underneath the header of the site and provides easy access to premium tools and content.  I've made a browser button that'll allow you to go directly from whatever website you're visiting straight into any of the SEOmoz tools with the URL pre-populated in the form.  It's basically doing away with having to use a bunch of different browser buttons. The SEOmoz dashboard is  going to be exclusive to premium members.

In addition, the SEOmoz dashboard will provide quick access to a new set of tools that are free for everyone to use.  I'm creating an "SEO toolbox," which is a collection of stripped down SEO tools that all perform highly specific tasks, such as checking for strong pages on a domain or examining an http status code. I'll post more about it next week, but essentially it's going to be a giant bag of free tools.
