Link Management Software

[naichunlei]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to SEOMoz Pro, but have been reading articles on this website forever!

I'm looking for a software to help me organize links I've built, including (genuine) comments I've posted on blogs, forums, links from directories, articles or other websites.

I'm not talking about automated directory submission software or some other shady submission software. All I need is a software that could help me organize all these links and check if the link is still there from time to time.

One of the feature I'd like to have is the ability to retrieve page related information such as domain age, PR, incoming links on page, outgoing links on page and the theme relevance of each of these links.

Any good recommendation?

After reading all your requirements there is no one name that can come in to my mind…I guess for retrieving page information there are many browser tool which can do this…I guess SEOmoz tool bar have the ability to check how many incoming links are on the page, how many outgoing links on the page, do follow and no follow links and more…

When you talk about management of links and check if the links are still available or not then in that case I think Raven Tools is better at this area…

These recommendations are my personal recommendations but are different alternate tools that can help you with the same.

Hi Chunlei,

There are a number of tools that can help you source and keep track of your link building process. I've listed a few of the most popular ones below:

• Raven Tools

• BuzzStream

• Link Prospector

One of these should fit the bill

Thank you Moosa!

Raven Tools is indeed a very powerful tool.

I was just wondering if we need to purchase subscriptions for certain features separately like Wordtracker so that it works within Raven tools?

BuzzStream definitely caught my attention!

It's much more powerful in it's link management feature.

Now I'm in the dilemma of choosing between Raven Tools and Buzzstream.

Raven Tools come with other neat features at the same price. It's content management and Scribe integration is quite attractive for me.

Any good advice?

I don't think this is possible with Raven Tools!

I like Raven's tools for link building. I have never tried buzz stream, but I am going to give it a try. I can't afford to have both Moz and Raven's.

The content manager in raven is VERY buggy. And axribe is very stripped down. I love scribe, but with ravens its limited.

Bugs with ravens content are as follows:

Meta description does not pass from raven to WordPress seo (you have to go into wp to re enter) when you do it created a duplicate post in WP which is a second bug. I mentioned this to raven and they said it was a bug with WordPress.
