Question about Competitive Link Comparison

[kingwheelie]

Hi,

I am trying to see where backlinks are coming from into my site using the competitive link comparison tool but it only seems to be finding those from my own site, even when I click on 'only external'.

I know there should be links from Twitter, forums and our blog so I don't understand why these aren't being picked up.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Steve,

SEOmoz's linkscape doesn't update in real-time, so it could take a few weeks to see any new links. Possibly a lot longer for links from sites that aren't as well connected.

Can always use Google Analytics to see where referrals are coming from - handy for picking out useful backlinks.

Thanks Devin,

Hopefully it will pick up the links over the coming weeks!

Cheers

What page are you checking? As well as picking "only external" have you tried selecting "pages on this sub-domain" or "pages on this root domain" to check for any links to any page on your site?

Hi Doug,

Yep - tried that and it doesn't seem to make a difference unfortunately.

Thanks anyway.
