hello today I'm going to talk about my top 5 backlink analysis tools now these are the tools that I use every time I'm carrying out a backlink analysis or a link or dirt there are many more out there but these are just the ones I choose to use
every time because they help you to get a better understanding of the big picture when it comes to your link profile now there's no single tool out there to date that can give you one hundred percent of your link data so the tools will go out there and
find as much information as they can but ultimately they're only going to be giving you a small percentage of your actual data which is why it's important to use as many different tools as possible so you can get as much information as possible and collate it remove the
duplicates and then analyzed as much as you can so to start with webmaster tools now there are two types of webmaster tools that are used regularly and that's google's and bings webmaster tools now Google Webmaster Tools in particular is useful if you've been hit with a manual penalty
so if you've had a warning in Webmaster Tools about Matt spam then using the link data from webmaster tools in Google is really useful because it gives you some insight as to some of the links that they're aware of it won't actually gives you one hundred percent of
the links that Google is found and there may be unnatural links out there that Google is aware of that they're not sharing with you unfortunately but it definitely gives you a good amount of insight you can get things like anchor text data referring the main data and actual
sample links for you to go and examine so it's really important to get as much stage about those tools as possible so that you can analyze your profile get better understanding of the quality of your links majestic SEO & open site Explorer a quite similar in concept and
they will go out and crawl the web to find that those links and that information about them you can get things again like anchor text information referring domains referring IPS lots of other information for you to analyze and by exporting the data from these top three tools you
can callate a big picture when it comes to your links and get a better understanding it might be the open site Explorer finds links that the other two don't and vice versa so it's really important use as many tools as possible to get all that data now link
risk and eat these are a little bit different to the tools above they're similar to each other but very different in nature because what these do is actually give you some analysis yourself rather than going off finding a load of links for you to analyze they actually go
some way to analyzing them for you now each of these tools will give you a rating of your overall link profile quality he'll give you sort of sums of how many bad links it thinks it's found how many healthy ones how many suspicious ones and it will analyze
each link and categorize it in that sort of way now this gives you some great insight and it means that it does a little bit of the work for you now don't take their analysis at face value because ultimately it is at all and it's not going to
be perfect some links that they think are really healthy might be quite unnatural and vice versa so it's really important you still analyze the data but it just gives you a really nice place to start and it's there really useful tools for collecting more data and more analysis
and saving you a little bit of work so all in all I strongly recommend that if you think you've been hit by a manual manual penalty or perhaps by penguin or any other reason to suspect that your link profile is anything other than completely natural I would suggest
using all of these tools to get the big picture of your links and then manually analyzing the data that comes back and these are my top five for that reason thank you for watching please see the links to our social profiles at the end of the video and
