Competitive Link Finder

[APICDA]

Hi, just wondering if I am the only one who is not having much luck lately using the Competitive Link Finder .

In the past it has worked pretty well.  But as of the past week or so, it has only returned on link.  I know there are many of them which should be found.

Anyway, just curious if I am solo with this issue.

I have been using it the past 2 days without any problems.

Hmmm,

I really cant see how I could be using it wrong.... its kinda basic.  Thanks, I will await a response from the admin.

Cheers!

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in and sorry that Competitive Link Finder isn't working for you.

Unfortunately, Competitive Link Finder is an older labs tool that doesn't  always work, but that we are no longer providing support for. As it mentions on the tools page, with SEOmoz Labs tools, PRO users can test-drive tool prototypes and give feedback on the the latest SEOmoz technology and product design, but we do not offer support or guarantee data accuracy for these prototype tools. If you’d like to leave feedback, please do so in the SEOmoz Feature Request Forum.

This tool will sometimes work perfectly fine, as it seems to be working for DesignerBoutiqueMenswear, but it also has a lot of issues and, again, we can't guarantee that it will be consistent at this time.

Thanks for your understanding. If you have any other questions about this or any other tools, we recommend that you send them to help@seomoz.org.

@Chiaryn

I had the same issue and dicovered that the tool is very sensitive to how the URLs are enetred. Make sure that you have removed  http:// in the URLs so that all URLs are in the format www.competitorsite.com

That should do the trick!
