Historical Linkscape/OSE data available?

[jcolman]

Hey Mozzerati, I'm curious if there's a way to expose and analyze historical data from each previous Linkscape/OpenSiteExplorer (OSE) update.

Essentially, I'm looking for something similar to MajesticSEO's Backlink History tool that can show you both daily links over a short time as well as cumulative links over a long period.  I think the utility of such a tool is to see which competitors have gained many links over a short period, signalling that they're engaging in some form of link-building/-buying/-baiting activity.

Is there any way to yield this data (other than to record it manually after each Linkscape/OSE update) from SEOmoz PRO tools?

Hi Jonathon,

Rand mentioned at the amazing Distilled Link Building event last week that this was something that is coming in SEOmoz Pro tools. Hang tight, and I think we'll have it soon.

Hi Jonathon,

Any news on this yet? Or are we still hanging tight?

Yes, thanks for the reminder, Zeal.  PRO tools show historical ranking data going back quite a ways.  I don't remember exactly when they implemented this, but it's a great feature.

Historical Ranking data is cool but what Zeal & I are looking for is Historical Linking information...
